Gaitors

Burke Wills ones go past your calf though. Not bad when wearing long pants but with shorts one would look pretty funny.

No, you get short ones too!

No, you get short ones too!

When the buff is bursting his sides laughing at you, you pop one through his ribs!

Oh the horror!
Never had the problem in Africa or Texas, or CO, or OK,,,,,.

When you get socks full of grass seeds etc around your ankles you will learn....

Spike,
Maybe I did not make myself clear.
When I wear hunting boots under long pants with the sticker and thorn proof nylon front (regular old Cabelas bird hunting britches), I do not get stickers, seeds and such crap in my boots.
Plus, I never hunt in short pants, but I can see how they would invite debris into low cut footwear.

Sounds like you are headed to South Africa so short gators are fine. Just make sure they are made of quiet material. Leather is quiet and looks cool with shorts. Farther north in Tsetse fly country I prefer long pants and high gaiters over the trousers So the blood thirsty little devils cannot crawl up my pants leg. Swampy country where the leeches roam i duct my trousers then slip on high gaiters. Anything from African Creations or Courtney is high quality stuff.
