I wear turtle skins. Light weight and flexible. I got mine , contacted Glenda Green and sent them to her. She covered them in original bottomland camo and put Velcro on them. I can now use the zipper or simply Velcro them up back of leg. I have used them 3 years. They go on or off in about 20 seconds. I love them and could not be more pleased. Been through plenty of things that will stick you and tear you up with absolutely no issues. Don’t know if they are snake proof because I haven’t been struck thank God. Would recommend them 100 percent with the alterations. Good luck.
