Great Gaiters
Been using these gaiters in the mud and snow in BC. They're durable and opening up the zippers gives immediate cooling. Great purchase.

Easy to use.
I tried these gators out on the muddy spring trails of Northern Minnesota and they held up great. They are easy to put on and have good ventilation.

Great Winter Gaiter
These gaiters had less ice build-up inside during winter hiking. I liked them a lot. I still would like to see a pair of gaiters that had a crampon puncture proof instep so I do not have so many gouges. The cordura is not enough to glance off a crmpon when my feet get to close at times.

Love it!
This is the perfect all season gaiter. I used it hiking in Norway last summer (through rivers, over glaciers, on muddy trails) and all winter snow showing in Idaho. The vents are awesome (although they stick out a bit when you open them up and velcro the top so it doesn't flap).

Perfect for all types of snowshoeing
Excellent product. Very easy to put on. Fit comfortably while snug and secure with a variety of footwear I use for snowshoeing including hiking sneakers, leather backpacking boots, winter boots. Tested them in both deep powder and packed snow, the zippered vent comes in very handy when switching from groomed trails to backcountry powder. I've worn cotton pants with cotton socks and XCR lined sneakers in 24 inches of powder, everything under the gaiter stays dry and toasty. The only gaiter you'll ever need for all seasons and conditions.
