Now I just have to keep up with the lube. Neoprene will hold water if you don't open it after a wet ride. You didn't wrap it around the brake arch on the bottom. They work just fine and look much better than accordian style rubber boots. You do need to clean under them occasionally, but this is easy to do with the velcro attachments.
Rubber boots require cleaning underneath also, albiet less frequently.
I've used Lizard skins and find that if fitted over the seal, they keep mud off the fork legs, while they are easily removed to allow the legs to be dryed thoroughly and lubed after each ride. Yes they bunch up a bit, but that allows them to conform to the movements of the leg. Fit them as tight as possible for the best seal. Ordinary boots trap mud, and are difficult to clean under. These boots don't.
