The guy who said these are too hot may not be using them in snow when it’s cold. BUT I’ve been using these for many years (in the Colorado Rockies) and they work great. Breathe? Who cares? You want them to keep snow out of your boots! BTW, my favorite hard-core testing site, Outdoor Gear Labs, rates then No. 1, edging out a Black Diamond gaiter costing twice as much. Why 4 stars? Nothing’s perfect. But these come as close as I’ve ever found in my 65 years of snow hiking. PS—want the best snow shoes? Get the MSR Lightning Ascents. Expensive, but they sidehill like no others. And they’re light (I carry them on my pack till I need them, living so close to Rocky Mountain Park).
I gave these to my girlfriend for Christmas and she used them recently for snowshoeing. She reported that the gaiters fit and performed well.
These gaiters are good for low activity, nothing strenuous, you'll sweat like crazy in these, they don't breathe.
