ABSTRACT:
A wade fishing gaiter is made of a neoprene foam material which is approximately 0.25 to 0.375 inches thick. The material is cut and stitched to form a gaiter which is dimensioned lengthwise to cover the front of the leg from above the knee to the ankle and the back of the leg from below the knee joint to the ankle. The gaiter is dimensioned widthwise to fit snugly over the bare leg thereby providing muscle support. The gaiters according to the invention are intended to be worn over bare legs and used in conjunction with diving boots for foot protection. The dimensions and materials used to construct the gaiters provide for comfort and muscle support as well as good protection against underwater hazards such as oysters, coral and stinging fish. The gaiters are also light weight and do not inhibit movement of the angler's legs. In cold weather, the gaiters are advantageously used in conjunction with waders and protect the legs from blisters normally caused by waders. According to a presently preferred embodiment, each gaiter is made from two pieces of material which are attached to each other at longitudinal edges which are glued and sewn together with a cross-over stitch. The upper and lower edges or hems are preferably roll lapped and sewn.
