Essential Kit in the Summer North Woods.
When the woods get humid and sticky in Summer these gaiters effectively keep the bitey bugs from your ankles. Throw in the typical Outdoor Research high-quality construction and long-trusted design and these are essential bug-season kit. When I'm in a buggy camp wear 'em every waking minute. A slam-dunk five-star.
Doesn't stay up
I bought two pairs, one for me and one for a friend, of these to wear on a fly-fishing trip to Bolivia, the attraction was the bug proof nature along with keeping river sand and gravel out of my boots while wet wading. Problem was they didn't work, the top wouldn't stay above my ankle, falling down below my boot top. The way the closure is designed it can't be tightened. Perhaps I needed a size small but I wear a size 10 shoe. Needless to say I was disappointed after liking OR's other full calf gaiters so much.
I Cant Read
Im sure these are good for its intended purpose but i took them to the snow lol. They werent that bad, they just tend to be a little puffy sometimes
They do the job but I found them sliding down my leg more than expected. I wish they had a Velcro strap at top to cinch tighter if needed. All in all I would still buy them. They've been a good product to keep rocks and brush from getting into my shoes.
Too baggy and fall down.
Ordered according to instructions but never wear them because the top is too big and has no way to adjust . They are super baggy all the way up and fall down. I am about to get out the sewing machine and see if I can make them work.
These definitely help!
I am a tick magnet!! I've been wearing these hiking during tick season for a couple of years and they definitely help. I also like that they keep debris out of my boots.
Won't stay up
The top doesn't have any way to adjust!!.no pull strings, Velcro so they don't stay up. Wish I had seen the review before mine to know this.
