  • Low-profile leg shape reduces snagging; tapers slightly at ankles for a sleek fit
  • Asymmetrically shaped bottom edge is curved to fit boots evenly with no gaps, keeping dirt, twigs, scree and snow out of boots
  • Easy-access VELCRO® brand closures open in front for quick on/off plus they can be micro-adjusted for a custom fit
  • Tops feature comfortable 3/4-inch nylon webbing straps with low-profile cam buckles to keep gaiters from slipping down legs
  • Double riveted boot lace hooks grab laces, helping keep gaiters in place
  • Nylon-supported rubber instep straps offer excellent durability and easy adjustment; loops above buckles keep strap end from flapping

        Comments about Outdoor Research Verglas Gaiters - Women's:

        I am a mountaineer-in-training, and I do caving, winter camping, and various off-trail hiking. I use these gaiters all the time and have never had a leakage problem. They fit great when I have plenty of layers on, but they do not adjust tight enough when I am wearing less layers/thinner pants. Also, the strap at the bottom slips out of its little slot, so the end of the strap flops around and I'm afraid I'm going to step on it and rip the strap off. Other than that these are pretty durable, breathable, and waterproof! Worth the cost!

        Comments about Outdoor Research Verglas Gaiters - Women's:

        I borrowed a friends pair this summer for a week-long hike in the Colorado Rockies. Had to cross a lot of streams, the trails were rugged, and encountered some snow as well. These gaiters were great and kept the dirt and debris out of my boots and socks. They were also fairly water proof. When the water gets above the black fabric and onto the blue it seeps through. The Velcro worked well, but I had to play with it a few times to make it fit me well. They hugged close to my legs so I didn't feel like I had garbage bags tied to my feet. Also, they stayed up without having to tighten the top very much. I could even keep it looser to allow for some air to come in. My only con with these is that they didn't breath as well as I would like, especially on hot days. But if you don't mind a little sweat than I would highly recommend these to anyone who wants a pair for hiking, backpacking, and playing in the snow. They are a great lower cost pair of gaiters. And they make your feet look smaller! I have big feet so that is a plus.

          Comments about Outdoor Research Verglas Gaiters - Women's:

          I bought these for my wife along with snowshoes a few weeks ago. The gaiters are easy to put on and are great at keeping the snow out and my wife's pants dry. Recently she had to walk through snow covered with almost an inch of ice. She told me about it since the ice kept scraping her legs as she kept breaking through it but her gaiters were still like new. Pretty tough material, and the marine and black design is nice to look at. Wish I'd gotten her a pair sooner, just for anytime in the snow.

          Comments about Outdoor Research Verglas Gaiters - Women's:

          found them easy to put on overall once got used to the velcro placement but do have a bit of a problem with having a smaller foot and having the hook stay hooked on the boot staying taut. So had to work with that a bit.
