Good review, looks a good bit of kit, shame they dont have a zip on it alongside the velcro, i wear mine in the woods alot, and low level walking, keeps all the mud etc out , i use the trailmate gortex gaiters ,had same pair for over 10 years now ,but always good to have a 2nd pair, good health and safe travels my friend, cheers craig
Hikers run dirtygirlgaiters which is nylon just over the ankle and the shoe to prevent rocks and twigs from getting in. I have never use gaiterts I might pick up a set at KUIU and see how they work.
I doubt these are snake proof. Down in US south that would be an extra benefit. I have several Helikon-Tex products and find them to be of decent quality for the cost. I almost bought an OR set but I like the build of these better. Thanks for the introduction and review.
Good review

I’ve got several pairs. But I’ve got 49cm calves. So all are a bit tight

They make a difference.

Being from Louisiana. I completely agree that an air of snake proof gaiters would work.
Are these waterproof?
Yes. I’ve not used gaiters that aren’t.
@@mikebox alright awesome
I wear a size 9 on my winter boots will these fit?
The sizing depend on the circumstances of your legs. My calf muscles are 49cm each. So these fit but are a little small.
@@mikebox Im only 155lb and normal built but not thick calfs.
@@PrepperTankar Then these should work for you fine.
@ Thank you for the quick and good answer 👍
