Default DG-100 vs Std Libelle - opinions wanted

These are not very elegant looking, but they keep our feet warm at
sub-zero temperatures for hours while flying wave.Â* I wear them over
tennis shoes and regular socks.

Oh yes, and wear dark shoes and socks, or you will get bright
reflections bothering your vision on the inside of the canopy. A little
price to pay for such a nice view..

I usually wear dark blue and in most gliders, I get slightly cold feet even with two pairs of socks, another reason I chose the DG
