I don't know how I lived without these! I am a snowmaker at a Utah ski resort and in the past I was constantly having to deal with wet boots, water wicking up my pants, etc. That is a thing of the past when wearing the gaiters. They are very well made and durable. Additional bonus is they keep the early season weeds, stickers, and cockleburrs off my pants as well. Very simple and easy to use. I will never be work without them again! Three thumbs up!
I was glad to find these lightweight gaiters. These are simple with a strong Velcro closure down the front. My ice climbing boots have a gaiters built in but I generally need something to protect my pant cuffs snagging my crampons, getting torn up and / or tripping me. These gaiters are tough and low profile, staying out of the way.
Ordered XL for my side 11. They help bridge the gap on my buffalo salopettes in the snow as I’m 6’2” and the legs high water a bit. Velcro opener is great for easy on/off and the Black Diamond logo is a nice touch to evidence their obvious quality.
My haters have taken all the abuse I have thrown at them for years. They are awesome I am happy enough I bought another set as a gift. I bought them for snow use - but they are rugged enough for use on sceei fields in summer.
These are terrific and worked as well as I'd hoped they would in the 2 times I've worn them so far. These feel very durable and I'm looking forward to putting them to the test more this season.
These are a different Black Diamond Gaiter than I had purchased before so I will return them immediately. They don't fit. I love the Black Diamond quality but I really need a pair that fits.
They work as advertised. We bought them for our 9 year old son. They go up to his knees but hold fast on a full day of fort making and snowball fights in deep cold snow.
Using these for snowshoeing in deep powder primarily. They’re perfect - like everything from BD… 🙏🏽
