has anyone bought a good quality gear lever gaitor recently? ive had a look at some but they are quite thick and i think it would be hard to get them to fold in at the top where the cable tie goes,any recommendations?

There’s one on eBay at the moment -
I bought one of the cheaper ones off eBay nick (about £15-Ish I think), black leather with black stitching (iirc they had different colour stitching offered as an option)
it fit well and doesn't look out of place.Comment

Iirc they were long in the length (oo'er missus) and needed trimming.Comment

thanks chris,it does look a bit on the big side doesnt itComment

I bought one of these, Nick (a gaiter, not a gaitor though, I think you are mixing them up with snappy reptiles!) ;-) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Schaltman...item41c7d93c6b. Fits very well indeed. (I have no idea why that page is in German - they are a UK supplier, but I couldn't find the black-with-black-stitching one on their English pages.Jim

well spotted lol,does that one have 4 panels/sections like the orig one?Comment

Yup - it's really nice, being pukka leather instead of vinyl too, but a right PITA to get staples through!Jim

The leather one I pointed you at is very neat and easy to fold at the top, Nick. I think it looks better than the original vinyl one....Originally posted by The Radman View Post
