Anyone who has had to trudge and rush into deep snow, swampy meadows or muddy slopes knows how useful and beneficial a pair of long, sturdy and breathable gaiters is. These protect the legs, boots and pants. Performance is enhanced by the use of breathable and elastic VersaStretch® back inserts, which allow the gaiters to dynamically conform to the body while on the move. The opening of the upper cap is adjustable by means of an elastic and they open at the sides, with a wide and sturdy velcro closure. The sturdy hook allows you to anchor them to the boot laces. The gaiters feature an adjustable stirrup strap made from Hypalone – a fabric that is superbly wear resistant and nearly insensitive to the elements.
