Seal Savers vs Fork Boots

[Mad Max]

OK , here's my question. I gotta get some fork boots or seal savers for my conventional forks(NOT USD). I have only ever had boots and don't know anybody with seal savers . What are the pros and cons of seal savers? In our southern coast mud and slop will they last? Why do they make short and long versions of the seal savers for conventional forks? I'm probably gonna get regular old boots but would like to hear opinions from people who have used seal savers in our riding environment.

Thanks in advance

Max

Hi Jay.
In our riding conditions, you will get some mud under the neoprene seal savers.
Over time it will behave like grinding paste.
Your regular fork boots protects the chrome sliders from stones, and allows mud / water to drain through the lower holes.
