Gaitors for front suspenders - opinions?

[White Dog_imp]

Kawasaki Gaiters Vent. Ordered a pair on 11/24 from Partzilla. I have now received 2 emails advising "delay in shipment" so I called to see what was going on. CSR said they were on national backorder and I might get another delay notice if they did. I paid for these things on 11/24, which CSR says that happens when order is placed. Some vendors don't bill you until they ship. She offered to cancel the order but I said I would wait a little longer. The Triumph gaiters might be cheaper--but are they more readlily available? It's such a hassle to cancel an order, then still have my money tied up waiting for a credit or refund.
