Outdoor Research Crocodile Gaiters
$65.00
Item qualifies for annual
REI Member Refund (typically 10%)
The Outdoor Research Crocodile® gaiters keep snow out of your boots while climbing mountains, cross-country skiing or hiking over snow fields.
- Gore-Tex®/Taslan® nylon uppers are waterproof and breathable; durable lower panels of coated Cordura® nylon are lined with packcloth
- Changing the amount of overlap on the 2-inch wide hook and loop closure adjusts the bottom circumference, allowing a fit over different boots
- Top closes with adjustable ¾-inch wide nylon webbing strap and low-profile cam buckle
- Tapered at the ankle, reducing crampon-catching fabric; asymmetrical bottom edge provides a sleek, snug fit around the boot
- Rugged, nylon-backed neoprene instep strap with buckle secures the fit
- Seams are not factory-sealed; apply seam sealer if you need to ensure total waterproofness
Imported.

Comments about Outdoor Research Gore-Tex Crocodile Gaiters:
I have owned there for about 4/5 years. They are tough as nails never have had a problem with them. i am out all winter long hiking, camping, snowshoe like crazy, tele ski, and just in the back country of Colorado.i would and do recommended these to any one. I have found that they run a little small i ware a size 10 boot and my gaiters are an XL,but they work on everything from my trail shoe to my tele boots.

Comments about Outdoor Research Gore-Tex Crocodile Gaiters:
I use this snowshoeing here in Utah. I've strapped them on two different shoe types. The XL worked great on my size 13 Salomon XCR Trail Running Shoe's but they didn't quite work out with my size 13 Salomon B52's so I actually returned the XL's and got the XXL's which work out great still on the trail running shoes.
But with the early season snow here in Utah I've been able to get out and test them in different conditions and I am very satisfied. The Gore-Tex is obviously a huge plus and these kept my legs/feet perfectly dry. I'm not sure what took me so long to get these...

Comments about Outdoor Research Gore-Tex Crocodile Gaiters:
Poor quality control led to me getting a pair that came apart at the seams after one use. The stitching was placed too close to the edge of the material and so it came apart. Now I have a giant hole on the front of one of the gaiters. I've been unable to repair it and so I just go out with a [$] product and get wet. Won't be buying OR stuff again.

Comments about Outdoor Research Gore-Tex Crocodile Gaiters:
These gaitors are the industry standard. Seriously, I don't know why anyone else even makes gaitors.
The competitors will never be as durable or reliable as the original.
Be sure to pick the right color: If you buy these, you'll never have to replace them.

Comments about Outdoor Research Gore-Tex Crocodile Gaiters:
A note to [...], who was dissatisfied with this product, and anyone else who is considering OR crocodile gaiters.I bought a pair of OR crocodile gaiters from REI at least 15 years ago. Wore them regularly every winter. Recently, the seam on the front that holds the velcro to the shell failed. (Truth be told, I probably contributed to the failure because I should have had the next larger size.)Based on info from the OR web site, I learned they have a UNCONDITIONAL GUARANTEE. I simply mailed the old pair to OR, and a couple weeks later, I received a brand new pair, no questions, no hassle.I rated these four stars because they did fail eventually, but this was **far** outweighed by OR's extraordinary service and return policy.

Comments about Outdoor Research Gore-Tex Crocodile Gaiters:
I use these every winter and my girlfriend always laughs at me saying how silly I look in them, untill she wore them when we went for a hike in 12" of new powder and all she had was a pair of water proof ankle high boots and jeans. Needless to say we were a bit under dressed but it was a spur of the moment hike. I always keep winter gear in my Jeep and the Gaitors are a part of that gear. Well we all know who wound up wearing them and she just loved them,... You don't need big boots or snow pants when you have these great things in your grear bag!! And now I have to take my girlfriend to [...] buy her own pair, cause that's all she talks about is how much she loved them!!I have used my pair going on the third year now,.. and they still work and look great! I would never leave home in the winter with out them!

Comments about Outdoor Research Gore-Tex Crocodile Gaiters:
These gaiters are made much better than the others sold [...]. The velcro is much thicker, the strap that goes under the boot is also a heavier quality. The gaiters seal very well over boots and do a great job keeping the snow out!!!. Much better than the others I have used!!!

Comments about Outdoor Research Gore-Tex Crocodile Gaiters:
Seems like most mountaineers prefer the OR Gore-Tex Crocodile. These "Gaiters" are excellent, for climbing in all weather conditions.
The simple design is very sleak and you'll hardly notice them once you're off on the trial.
