Anyone know where i can get those neoprene wraparound gaiters from in the UK? I'm looking for the ones with a Velcro closing at the back so i won't have to drop the forks.

Why not buy a 2nd hand child's wetsuit on eBay for a couple of quid, and some Velcro and make your own

Does just neoprene work to protect fork legs? I understand it will stop grit and dirt getting on the fork legs, but wont it soak up water and make them damp a lot of the time?

Have to drop the forks to fit those. I'm looking for ones with a Velcro joiner round the back!

They're primarily for offroad bikes to protect the seals from all the muck and filth chucked up at them. Even then, there's debate whether or not they offer much protection or just trap the dirt and make things worse.

At £17.50, they won't exactly break the bank.
