Fuma Sune-ate or Dune Boots (I'm mentioning only "common" gears) are in my opinion much better than these ; however you should never try to skill up guard without these gaiters ; and you should never use Counterstance without macro'ing these, because the Counterstance enhancement here doesn't lower your VIT more, but increases drastically your Counter rate.

Note : for all those MNKs thinking Counterstance is a useless JA, I point out that wile being a very situational JA, it is really sweet when you can use it.For example: if your MNK is decently pimped enough, do some Campaign in West Sarutabaruta as MNK/DNC, get a MNK-BRD-SMN-NIN-SAM regular yagudo mob (no NM! lol), solo or tank it, use Counterstance, and... enjoy! you'll pawn them really hard with counter rate like 2/3 or 3/4 (with Osode and Counter merits 3/5).

Great for Counterstance tanking, like all MNK AF2, it has a situational use, and you will notice the increase in Counter rate when you macro these in for Counterstance use.

2nd best piece of AFV2 for monk.

The guarding skill is awesome to have if you trying to skill that up.
