Cut up 2-smoke bottles lasted three elefant rallies and couple of trips on the back roads in Finland.

Cost zero (my MZ used the contents), function 9/10.
The trick is never to cut across a mould line, follow the curves they use to strengthen the flat surfaces.
Muffs, hippo hands etc. are good over hand guards but can be lethal if they fold back onto the glove. I've seen a BMW with suspected clutch problems related to muffs holding the lever off and a mate lost a glove in Norway when taking his hands off the bars and finding the muff had grabbed then dropped it. Take care when fitting.
Cut up wellies have a certain style though. Personally I'd either go for red ones with ladybirds on or the full issue external steel toe-cap sort.
