Outdoor Research Crocodiles Gaiter
The original do-it-all gaiter of mountaineers, backcountry skiers, and off-trail adventurers, Crocodile are designed to handle anything. Durable Taslan GORE-TEX leg sections resist Devil's Club and keep snow out. The 1000D Cordura boot section, lined with coated 8 oz. packcloth, stands up to ski edges, crampon snags, and general boot wear. The water-resistant coating on the packcloth is sewn to face the Cordura layer, protecting the coating from boot abrasion. The hook and loop front closure is sewn with sturdy double-needle stitching. A shear tab prevents the front closure from separating at the bottom. The urethane coated nylon instep strap can be replaced on the trail without tools.

Awesome gaiters!
Really liked the fit of these gaiters. I wear a size 9 boot and the Large size was perfect for me. Very durable construction and really like the fact that the strap that goes under the arch of your boot can be replaced should the original ever wear out. Very pleased!

Fabulous!
These kept us warm and dry throughout our trip to Denali. I would definitely recommend them to others. They also saved us from the countless rocks that would have gotten into our boots..

What do you want from gaiters? As far as I'm concerned, I just want to keep the snow out of my boots. These do the job admirably. They are quick and easy to put on and take off, and seem to be pretty breathable, too. The velcro closure looks like it might be a weak point, but it doesn't leak, and seems to be holding up well. And you can't argue with the convenience: this closure is way quicker than a zipper. I've had these for a long time and worn them on something like a hundred winter runs/hikes in the Wasatch, an they look as good as new. Still, it's nice to know they have an unlimited warranty.
