p.s. One think to note from the remains of ones I have removed, the wire that holds them on is four pieces of wire twisted at the corners, not one continuous piece.
i can confirm that kevin,that is the one and only correct procedure to fit the gaitor right.otherwise it will not tighten enough..

The four pieces of wire is so that each side sits flat. If you run a single strand around the corner it bulges outand the boot doesn't sit tight.
It can be (and was done) done with a single long piece of wire, if you run some past each corner so as to form a loop that you can tighten by twisting at each corner. Does that make sense? A bit of practice will help.
