            Get the booties.  After the first several times of putting on
the gaskets, only one time with the booties will convince you that you did
the right thing.  ANd the difference in warmth and comfort  is tremendous.
        No, they won't tear under the usual circumstances either.  If they
do, they are far easier to fix with a bicycle patch kit than the gaskets
ever will be.
