I've used the gaiters a couple of times when it snows. great protection and coverage, my feet and pants always stay dry. these are heavy duty and easy to use, not lightweight but they do the job.

The Best Gators

I used to be skeptical about gators but I use them almost daily in the summer now. All my coworkers in trail crew use this model and I was convinced to get some. Works great for keeping your feet dry while walking through wet brush and even stream crossings if your fast enough. They are very durable besides the small velcro flap in the front and the work almost just as well without so just cut it off if it's failing or warenty them Outdoor Research is great with that.

Easy to put on and take off. Kept snow out of my hunting boots. Would definitely recommend these to anyone looking for Gaiters.

To keep it simple, these gaiters are rugged, fit an incredibly wide range of shoes, and do a really good job at keeping debris, snow, and other junk of of boots. I would frequently pair these with low ankle boots and they would still keep out a majority of snow out. If you want a pair of all around gaiters, these wont disappoint you.

These gaiters turned out to be very durable while snowshoeing in the New Mexican mountains through a burn scare area. There were numerous sharp burnt sticks that were unable to impale them. The stirrups also worked well.
