They're great
I've worn these on several hunts from deep single digits and deep snow to upper 90's and extreme heat. They've performed flawlessly. Once they're properly set up and adjusted, it's hard to notice them. They fit true to size/slightly small. The medium fits well and snug over a 10.5 mountain hunting boot (Kenetrek, Zamberlan). The strap is durable, the velcro is robust, the strap and cam at the top works well and they've been incredibly durable. They are obviously other styles and brands on the market, but I truly feel that these are pretty tough to beat.
Blah
Generally a fan of OR. These gaiters have design flaws. Just wire them on the EBC trek. Lace hook is on the wrong flap and top closure is flimsy and doesn’t stay closed and / or tight. Materials and durability are good. They also run big (maybe plastic boot sized). I know have 2 pairs, 1 that’s 2 big and my last minute purchase before trip. Looks like new version might have fixed these issues. Wish they were available 6 months ago.
Not what they once were but still usable
I've had various sets of crododiles over the years. The last couple sets, including purchased and warranty replacements have had durability issues compared to my older ones. The velcro tabs and top buckles don't seem as good as they were 10 or 15 years ago. I'm hoping this new ones have better velcro. Still, the design of these is superior to others my friends have tried.
Sizing is not accurate. With all sales being final, I have a useless pair of too large gaiters :-(
Best Water Proof Gators
These Gators work very well. Waterproof. I don't hike or hunt without them.
Awesome piece of gear
These are great for bushwacking and keeping critters out of your socks.
