I was up at 3:30 this morning (I couldn't sleep) and was flipping through some old Riv material and came across Shinshields in the 20th catalog (http://notfine.com/rivreader/Catalogs/RivCatalog20.pdf pg. 77). The copy reads:

"It's for poncho wearers who want to keep their lower legs dry without wearing rain pants. One size fits all calves, and they're orange. At current sales rates, we have a ten-year supply. When we run out, that's it. Orange, with Velcro and reflectors."

Alas, these seem to be no more and I missed out. I have a pair of Clem OS pedals (one has some scuffs from laying the bike down) or a pair of Shimano 105 aero levers (nice condition ) to trade if anyone has a pair they are willing to get rid of. I also have a scuffed up Ritchey seatpost (27.2) to throw in with either to "sweeten" the deal if needed. 

 Lemme know.

Alternatively, any over-the-calf gator will do the same thing and is readily available.

With abandon,

Rainlegs make a similar product although no calf coverage it looks like. Maybe Rainlegs along with a pair of gaiters on the calves?
