      Comments about Outdoor Research Rocky Mountain High Gaiters:

      So far these have only accompanied me on one trip to the summit of Mt. Shasta. They fit nice, were easy to strap on, and they kept the snow out...pretty much what I was looking for. We'll see if they pass the test of time.

      Comments about Outdoor Research Rocky Mountain High Gaiters:

      I bought a size large to put over my Sorels (9D) when snowshoeing. I should have bought a larger size. They barely fit, and that was with a slight struggle. I could not fit them over insulated snow pants. Other than that, they worked great, kept snow out of the boots and my tootsies dry and warm.

      Cons

        Best Uses

          Comments about Outdoor Research Rocky Mountain High Gaiters:

          The top adjustable strap, when drawn tight, has no "keeper" to hold the extra length, which subsequently tends to flap around.

          The extra velcro tab at the ankle which keeps the velcro fastener closed is an excellent addition.

          These gaiters are excellent for use in the long wet grass and bush so abundant in the rainy season in the tropics. In addition they prevent grass seeds, mud, etc from getting into ones boots. which is a problem with the usual high wellington boots.

            Comments about Outdoor Research Rocky Mountain High Gaiters:

            My first pair of gaiters, so I might be a little naive.... But I love these! I wore them backpacking in the Olympics (Mtn range in WA) last weekend and they were awesome. I wore them with shorts on and they were really comfortable against my bare skin. They stay in place excellently. I hate to wear pants when backpacking because I get too hot, especially when hitting extending switchbacks. These are the perfect solution. Shorts to keep you cool but these full length gaiters to protect the lower legs and boots from rain, dirt, rocks, etc. It POURED rain on us and these still prevented the water from pouring down my leg and into my boots. My feet were completely dry after a 4 hour slog to the campsite.
