  • Asymmetrically shaped bottom edge is curved to fit boots evenly with no gaps, keeping dirt, twigs, scree and snow out of boots
  • Secure strap and buckle top closures keep gaiters from slipping down legs
  • Low-profile cam buckle and 3/4" wide nylon webbing distributes pressure and won't cut into leg
  • Double riveted boot lace hooks grab laces, helping keep gaiters in place

      Comments about Outdoor Research Verglas Gaiters:

      I have used these gaiters for the most part in Australia. During summer wearing long pants is not an option but wearing just boots and socks will not get you far because of spear grasses and other things that will just get into your boots or socks and then eventually force you to stop to pick them out.

      These not only effectively stop anything getting into your boots, but protects the lower leg from getting beat up by low brush like lantana. I don't go bushwalking without them anymore regardless of the season.
      They also provide a really snug fit around the boot which is critical in aiding the waterproofness. My foot slipped of a rock and into a creek a little under a foot deep. Without the gaiters I would have had soggy walk and probable blisters by the end of the day. But with them the water barely had the chance to get to the top of my socks from the gap between the gaiter and the boot. Dry feet! Yesss!
      And because they are heavy where they need to be (around the ankles and right up the middle to the top) and lighter around the rest, you won't sweat as much. The top strap works well and effectively and has never accidentally come undone. It is needed however since it won't stand up fully by itself due to the light weight material.
      Bottom line is that these gaiters work perfectly, feel great, are unobtrusive and represent great value.

        These are great gaiters! They keep out the water and snow and are comfortable to wear. They don't bunch up around my legs like other kinds do and they fit over my boots well.

        Comments about Outdoor Research Verglas Gaiters:

        These are a great gaiter that I have used several times per week for nearly 2 years. Only recently have they developed a couple of small rips in the nylon and the lace hooks have bent. The fastening device at the top of the sleeve can be somewhat finicky and hard to adjust with gloves on.

        These gaiters keep water, rocks, and snow out of your boots without overheating. I avoided a goretex gaiter, not wanting the extra laminate layer. As a result they aren't 100% waterproof (obviously), but still go a good job at keeping the boots dry if you slip during a stream crossing or during a downpour.

        I've uses these primarily to keep rocks, rain and poison oak from getting under my pant legs and they have served that purpose well. If you're looking for an all-purpose all-weather. These are highly recommended.
