What gaiters fix
❄Deep snow
Every step into fresh snow pushes it over the top of your boots, where it melts into your socks. Gaiters close that gap for snowshoeing, winter hiking and breaking trail.
💧Slush, puddles and creeks
The waterproof Cordura lower shields your boots and lower legs from slush, splashes and shallow creek crossings, so your boots stay drier inside.
⛰Mud, scree and brush
In spring and fall, gaiters keep mud, small stones and trail debris out of your boots and protect your pants from wet brush and thorns.

Frequently asked questions
Are these gaiters waterproof?
The lower section is 1000D Cordura nylon with 3000 mm water resistance, and the upper is a 3-layer fabric rated 3000/3000 waterproof/breathable. They're built to shed snow, slush, rain and splashes. Like any gaiter, they won't keep you dry if you wade in above the top.
Do I need gaiters for snowshoeing or winter hiking?
If you're walking in snow deeper than your boot tops, yes. Gaiters stop snow from getting into your boots and melting into your socks, which keeps your feet warmer and drier on longer outings.
Can I wear gaiters with ice spikes?
Yes. Put your gaiters on first, then stretch your ice spikes over your boots. The Winter Hiker Kit bundles both, plus waterproof socks.
What size should I get?
Choose by your EU shoe size using the chart above. Between sizes or wearing bulky winter boots? Size up. We offer 14-day returns if the fit isn't right.
Will they fit my boots?
They're designed for high-cut hiking boots and winter boots. The Velcro front and adjustable top buckle let you fine-tune the fit around your boot and calf.
How do I care for them?
Brush off mud once it's dry, rinse with fresh water, and let them air dry before storing.
