Feb 24, 2016Old Models BestThey do not stay up. Fabric not as stiff as old gaiters. The keeper for the strap is to high up. Strap falls out.

Jan 28, 2015Why didn't I buy these sooner?These gaiters are great! They fit over my snow pants with room to spare. I have trekked through tons of deep snow without any issues. These gaiters seal out the cold air too.

Read More People who hike a lot and carry a lot of weight have muscular legs, like me. I bought the L/XL , I wear a size 11 boot, and when I tried them on, they were a no go. They did not close around my bare leg and I will need these to close around a pant let. I'll have to make another trip to REI to return these and hope I can find a pair that fit. The quality is good so I'm giving these 3 stars despite not being able to use them. -

Read More These gaiters definitely serve their purpose. They keep all the underbrush and sticks and twigs out of your pants and boots. The only downfall I would have to say is that they don't really let your legs breathe. So when I took them off they were covered in sweat. It says they go up to your mid calf but if you have shorter legs like me they go up to your knee. -

Read More I bought the S/M to fit my size 9 boot. The fit around the foot was excellent, but...I can't close the gaiter around my calf. It's not just snug; there is a 2" open gap before the velcro could even touch, and that was without trouser legs inside. Best try these on before buying. -

Read More Excellent wear and tear resistant polyurethane coated nylon. I recreationally use these gaiters to repel mud, snow, and water while trekking. There is slight fraying of the fabric sandwiched between the neoprene molded straps. REI L/XL is the largest Mens size available. NOTE CUSTOM FIT: I seam ripped and hemmed in some scrap nylon fabric. Once sewn back together, I coated where I let out with Silnet. I also cut out the cord, and added a one inch nylon webbing strap. Now I have a much more comfortable XL/XL size.
