Comments about Outdoor Research Rocky Mountain Low Gaiters:

My first two pair were an earlier model, with a snap closure on the front (next to the hook that attaches to the boot laces). The snaps ripped out soon on both pair, so I exchanged them for two pair of this latest design.

The snap has been replaced with a Velco tab, an improvement. And the cord across the instep (which had to be replaced from time-to-time) is now a "Hypalon" strap and buckle design, an apparent improvement. But here is my experience:

Pair 1: After only one day on the trail, the stitching on the sewn end of one strap failed, and it came apart.

Pair 2: By the 5th day of a 7-day hike, the stitching on the sewn ends of both straps had similarly failed, and the Hypalon instep strap on both had worn completely through.

    Comments about Outdoor Research Rocky Mountain Low Gaiters:

    I purchased these last spring and used them all summer. I probably logged a good 50-60 miles in them and have no complaints thus far. I have not noticed any unusual wear with any of the straps unlike the previous reviewer. The straps are holding up just fine. They breath reasonably well and with a pair of wool socks my legs stay dry. One tip is to pull your socks up just past the top of the gators to keep them from rubbing on your leg.

    I've owned some mid length gators in the past and had problems with them being not long enough to stay over the tops of my calf's so they would constantly slide down. These are just the right height for 3 season hiking.
