None better
I have a pair of these that are easily over 15 years old. They have been used a lot! I'm finally having a new bottom strap sewn on them but I suspect they will last another 15 years. Easy to open and close. If I couldn't fix them so inexpensively, I'd buy another pair just like it.
Durable and reliable
I'm a wildlife biologist and I've been relying on the expedition crocodile gaiters for almost a decade now. These are the only gaiters that don't shred, and prevent my boots from immediately flooding in stream crossings and wetland areas. The only reason I cannot give five stars is that the velcro stitching on the top cinch strap reliably separates from the strap within a year of use. If you have basic sewing skills, however, it's easy to replace. We put these things through the ringer and overall they last.
New replaceable instep straps
My second pair from OR and I like the replaceable instep straps on the new version. I use primarily for SAR in drier, brushier conditions and have worn out or cut the instep straps first on various pairs of gaiters over the last 15 years. My last pair also broke the buckle. These adjust from the inside and will be fun to try on different boots. It is a pain to resew crampon straps on the gaiters. The web picture needs to be updated, and it would be helpful to see if the replacement straps are for sale or are covered under warranty. Also, the front velcro is located off center, slightly to the side and I am expecting them to collect less stickers and seeds than the last pair. They are a week old. I have only used them once and they worked great.
Great for winter backpacking
I have used these gaiters for 6 years snow camping with my friends. No better gaiter for keeping snow out of your boots
Not durable
I bought these to protect my pants from crampons. Crampons cut these gaitors without any problem. No protection.
