I bet that if some of you guys tried this, you would never go back to
velcro/elastic gravel guards again, and pretty soon the major

would start making these. I mean, really, they worked that well.

I checked the REI site and there are many different types, some are
over $80. Could you tell me exactly which pair you had?

Ahh, a taker. You're a wise person. :-)

My REI page won't open, and a search on EMS showed that they don't carry
what I had. But this site has something very close to it:

I noticed that the prices on this site were about half for the same item as
on EMS, so if you are into mail order, those are the babies: $28. The only
drawback to those is the supplex layer underneath, which could probably be
torn out if you wanted.
