Nicely Made!

Quality construction. Great for mountaineering - strong enough to withstand a crampon scrape. In deep snow, I found that snow never got through the top. However, after multiple hours, snow can sometimes work up underneath. However, that would happen with any gaiters- just make sure they are fitted tightly!

I’ve owned a number of these gaiters over the years and they are my favorites! Durable waterproof and very adjustable to keep your feet protected. 5 Stars!

Bombproof

I've used these for ice climbing and they've been great. I've also used them outside their recommended use, and they've still been great (used with trail runners and kept my feet dry when snow collapsed and I stepped deep in a creek). I definitely recommend, but they are not the lightest or most packable.

Great Product

Love these. Wish the lower attachment point was a bit more narrow. Having some compatibility issues.

This is my first pair of gaiters, and I wish I had discovered them years ago. This is the goto gaiter for snowmakers at the ski area I work at. The size large Outdoor Research Expedition Crocodile Gaiter fit great with my size 9.5UK (10.5US) Scarpa Inverno double shell boots, and with size 10EE Danner Light hiking boots. Besides work on the mountain I grab them to walk the dog or shovel throughout the winter. They’re super handy when you don’t want to put on snow pants but also don’t want to get your regular pants wet in the snow. My only complaint is the velcro on the locking tab at bottom of the gaiter (by the toe of the boot) has separated from its backing on one of my gaiters. This seems to be a common issue, and this tab isn’t found on the military version of this gaiter. It hasn’t effected the functionality of the gaiter, so I’d just call it annoying.
