I cannot see how those would be of any use. Maybe you have a different situation. Here, maple leaves would land on them, it would rain and mat the down, and they would be like cardboard covering your gutters when the sun came out and dried them off.
I have that product. It works great. Before I had to clean my eaves every week in the fall. I have 2 big trees by my front lawn.
In the time I've installed nothing stays on them. I've never had an issue.

Mine are like that. Nothing ever gets in...but I have a very steep roof and when it rains really hard, it just sheets over the top on places where the flow is most significant. I think I need to go back and remove those sections and replace with screens.

Love mine. Annual cleaning of maple seeds takes 15 minutes. Worth it,

We don't have gutter guards. Instead, we have our gutters cleaned once a year, in early winter. Costs $200, maybe $300. I'm not going up on a pitched, wet, third story roof myself. The guys do a quick roof inspection at the same time. Works for me.

Same as Hugh, lots of oaks, just have to get the ladder for her. All clean in an hour, just before having 9 inches of rain in two days. No need to hose them out, timing was perfect.
