Nice Gaiters.

Well made and functional. What more can you ask for.

Worked Great

I’ve used several times now and they are light weight and stretchy. I’m a bigger person and they still fit. Kept out the dust and debris. Great price point as well.

Garbage

First time putting on gaiters the elastic at the bottom hem of the gaiter ripped free. Filed a warranty claim but I don't have a ton of confidence that the replacement will not fail in the exact same way.

These Could Be Great, But....

These could be great, but OR used cheap components for the top hem draw cord cinch and the instep strap. The top hem draw cord cinches will immediately come loose after a few steps and you will end up having to replace them with cinches scavenged off other pieces of equipment or buying some online. The replaceable instep strap will have to be replaced very quickly because the hooks are made out of poor quality plastic. Metal would be better. This might not be such a big deal except the only place I could find replacement instep straps was online. The OR store in Seattle didn't even carry the replacement parts. Be prepared to shell out $10 for shipping an $8 part. The plastic shoelace hooks would probably break too except your going to end up ditching the gaiters before they do because the rest of the components already fell apart. You're are essentially buying a $60 tube made out of nylon/spandex. Fix these issues and these could be a great 3-season lightweight way to keep ticks/bugs off your body and rocks out of your boots.

They are light weight water resistant and keep everything out of your shoes. You hardly notice them but they stay tight and don't come off. I have bushwhacked I'm them through rough terrain and they did not fail. They weigh nothing and you can hardly tell that they are even there. I like wearing them over my pants but some people like wearing them under what we keeps thinks out of your pants and socks.
