As the heaviest-duty gaiter in the Outdoor Research line-up, the Expedition Crocodile Gaiter is the go-to choice for serious mountaineering expeditions and rugged terrain.

Plus, the large circumference is specifically designed to accommodate high-insulation pants and bulky mountaineering boots.

Great Product
The quality is very good. I was skeptical of all the velcro but it has been working really well so far. I have been using them daily the last few weeks for snowshoeing. I have large calves but the top is still a little big and when I am in deep snow the snow goes inside. I ordered the medium size.

Not sure who this is for?
Tried in with my ski touring boots and Mountaineering B2 boots and the gaiters just fall down. Velcro does not cinch down enough around calf to stay up and feels very cheap vs thier old cam lock system. I have athletic legs BTW, not toothpick. I'll try a different brand until OR adds the cam locks back or some other better system. Too many bad reviews on the buckles busting for me to repy on them in the extreme alpine

Great gaiters
The gaiters were easy to put on. Had no issues with them hiking all day in 12 to 15" of snow.

Great!
Works great for bushwacking in the high rockies for elk hunting! No more grasses seeds or snow in my boots or nice wool socks!

Instep buckle installed backwards
I've always been a fan of the OR Expedition Crocodiles Gaiters. Wear them off trail in some pretty nasty conditions and they hold up well. Ordered a new pair and sized up to accommodate my bulkier pac boots. When I went to fit the gaiter to my boots found one of the buckle prongs for the instep strap was installed backwards. The prong does not lay flat like it's designed to. Maybe a minor inspection issue but sort of a PITA now to adjust the strap fit in the field with gloves. The prong also sticks up rather than laying flat against the buckle making it more susceptible to damage on brush and rock.

Sizing seems just right
Disclaimer: I haven't had a chance to use the gaiters, they just arrived a couple of days ago. This review is for people concerned about sizing. I plan to wear the gaiters (size L) with size 10 (US Men) low-profile, lightly-insulated mountaineering boots. Having tried them on, they fit the boot perfectly. On the other end, the top of the gaiters (wrapping around above my calves) could also be tightened significantly to fit comfortably/stably around my smaller-than-average legs. However, the size L gaiters would be far too large for "ordinary" size 10 shoes. I suspect this is where all of the reviews about the gaiters being too big come from.
