Default Wife made fork covers

My wonderful wife made me some fork covers at my request. they are made of the same material as an under-armor shirt but it is a double layer. they are Velcro on the back side so you can take them off easy. excuse the gray zip ties. they will be replaced with black eventually. total cost was probably 20$ because I had to buy a whole square yard of the material. it was the smaller quantity they sold it in at a fabric store. Iv got plenty of metrical left and don't know what to do with it.

I remember seeing a boot that was like an accordion back in the 70s but not many sense then. They help keep dirt out where the seal is, for added protection.

A custom set of fork gaiters, pretty cool if you ask me!
They look better than the rubber accordion type.
Do you really need the tie wraps with the velcro, or are they just for insurance?
