    Off! They seal moisture in and offer no real protection. Fox makes shaft guards. I use them on my Icons and they work great. Look em up

    Nice I figured I'd get some mixed responses, they look better off if that counts for anything.

    Left mine on, but loose at the bottom to allow drainage. It helps that I live in a dry climate, so I'm just avoiding rock damage.
