    I had the acerbis ones and got nothing but slate.

    Apparently, whilst they're excellent at not letting water in, if water does get in, they won't let out. Therefore you risk rotting it from inside. I never had any issues and ran it daily for years. I liked the styling but not everyone did.

      @calum I'm not 100% on the looks, but it's a damn sight better than gaiters.

      I'm thinking lather the forks in acf50 then put them on. Considering the (dry) miles I do it shouldn't be an issue either.

            I want some fork tube/sock/condom thingy's to protect my fork seals. Can anyone recommend some that are a good fit?

            I've been looking at the acerbis neoprene type ones

                  @finnerz89 why not invest in a cheap pair of gaiters or are you going for a better look?
