AR Desert Gaiters v3 (take two)

Zapped! As of this weekend, we have discovered a solution to the sticky adhesive problem we were having in sewing my AR Desert Gaiter design. Big thanks to my mom, Liz, for brainstorming this one to find something that works.

I've had a number of people email me to ask about desert gaiters for various races that are coming up. But it just wasn't possible for us to efficiently make them, without having to douse the sewing machine in turps every few minutes to get rid of adhesive from the Velcro. Our new technique solves this problem and strengthens the attachment of the Vecro to the lycra at the bottom of the gaiter. Neat.

So, they're sorted and available through AR.co.za. We will make up any colour you want, provided we can get the fabric.
