You want one you can step back into like the OR's that velcro on the front - you do also wanna make sure they fit - if you have big legs you need to make sure they go around you.

Your other option would be the MEC Kokanee gore tex gaiter at $39 CDN. There is an MEC right downtown in Victoria, so if you are stopping there on the way (i.e. to pick up fuel if you've flown in) you can pick up a pair there. Just make sure you check the hours.

I end up using the MEC ones.

Note, if I wear full boots, I wear gaiters on this trail, but I have also done it in trail runners with just a mini-gaiter to keep the sticks out of my shoes. so ymmv. You're in puget sound anyway, so you're used to that sort of weather - you might do fine without.
