Outdoor Research Men's Crocodiles Gaiter

Outdoor Research Men's Crocodiles Gaiter

Unlike some hiking companies, Outdoor Research didn't mess with a good design when they created their Men's Crocodiles Gaiter--a product based on their original X-Gaiter. It's a durable and dependable waterproof coverage that keeps rain, mud and trail debris out of your socks and hiking boots. The lace hook on the front is double-riveted and the instep strap is a urethane-coated nylon construction that can easily be replaced or modified in the field. Cordura nylon and coated packcloth reinforce the boot area while waterproof and breathable Taslan GORE-TEX fabric helps keep your calves dry and comfortable. At the top of the Crocodiles Gaiter is a 3/4-inch wide webbing with a cam buckle top closure. These gaiters are comfortable enough to wear over bare legs with shorts, although most hikers and backpackers usually pair them with trail pants, rainwear or other backcountry clothing.

• Upper shell fabric: Triple-ply 70D Taslan GORE-TEX®fabric
• Lower shell fabric: 1000D Cordura® nylon lined with durable 8-oz packcloth
• Backpacker® Magazine's 1999 Editors' Choice Gold Award
• 3/4-inch wide webbing and cam buckle top closure
• 2-inch wide hook/loop front closure
• Double-needle stitching on hook/loop front closure
• Hook/loop shear tab at bottom of front closure prevents separation
• Double-riveted boot lace hook
• Field-replaceable, urethane-coated nylon instep strap

Perfect width gaiter
I was looking for a high but narrow gaiter. I chose the men's due to the narrower cut. I am a woman, 5'4" with a athletic narrow calf, chose the small. These fit perfectly and are adjustable as well. Heavy enough for briars/brush but not so heavy you can't wear in the summer.

Quality!
I am 5' 9" and 145 lbs. I purchased size medium and they fit great. Very well made, hook and loop closure is very secure and the metal hook at the bottom clips onto the loop on my Columbia boots to keep them securely in place. They seem very waterproof and durable.

Durable Gaiters
I bought these to replace a +10 year old pair which have been used a lot. They are easy to get off and on. They really are waterproof and last many years.
