Insulated Gaiter feedback

I have perennially cold feet due to poor circulation from low blood pressure. It is extremely hard for me to keep my feet, and particularly my toes, warm. In fact, I can't. Sometimes, they barely are warm in the morning when I get out of a down bag with insulated booties on; more often, they still are cold. So, I’m starting at a real disadvantage a lot of days.

I’ve tried a number of solutions with limited to no relief. I think it’s past time to go to a highly insulated gaiter. I know of two:

Mountain Tools Supergaiters

OR X-gaiter (recently re-introduced)



Feedback appreciated from anyone with experience with either of these gaiters, or a markedly similar product that I’ve missed. I don’t need “wear another pair of __ brand socks” advice, thanks. And, I need the gaiter to wear while moving, so “pull over” style thermal boots are useless and they don’t work well for me anyway.

Thanks for any input on this.

I’m following along also as I have the same issue. I am doing a 3rd season Elk hunt in Colorado so hopefully I can find a good solution.
