For your tripod legs you can get custom made foam sleeves with fancy Velcro on Nylon covers (don't remember who makes them?) - work great and look good. Or you can go to the hardware store and get the slit foam insulation for water pipes. Comes in a nice dark grey colour and there is a diameter that is perfect for Gitzo's. It has a self fixing adhesive for where the slit is (doesn't affect your tripod). Your can make it more secure with duct tape. Doesn't look as good. But it is a) cheap and b) you can rip it off for the summer and put on a new set on next winter. Works great down to -40c! A darn sight cheaper than carbon fibre Tim A
