Rugged Protection For Your Feet And Legs

I have been using OR Expedition gaiters for thirty years for mountaineering and ice climbing. The outer fabric adds a durable layer of protection from snow, scrapes and the inevitable crampon scratches. The size is large enough to accommodate the biggest mountaineering boots. Gore-Tex provides excellent breathability in the most extreme conditions. These gaiters have been bomb-proof through the years. Highly recommended.

If You Are In Need Of Gaiters, Look No Further

Let me start by saying that I have not had a chance to field these gaiters yet, so take this review with a grain of salt. I purchased these prior to a later summer summit of Mt St Helens, which includes a 3/4 mile steep ash field near the summit. While I didn't end up using these during the ascent/descent, I did bring them with me and did have the chance to try them out ahead of time. These gaiters are extremely high quality and feel like they will last me for some time. With that said, these may well be overkill if you only need gaiters for light duty or infrequent use. In my case, I am glad to have these gaiters, as they just instill confidence that your shoes/boots will remain water and debris-free when you're wearing them. The size chart was accurate for me based on my boot size and donning/doffing is relatively easy.

used for snowmaking to keep snow off my cuffs. waterproof, no snow sticks and no damage after one season.

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!
