Terrible design "upgrade"
Worthless. The previous incarnation of these gaiters was great. I used them extensively for bushwacking and they held up with aplomb. Even though they were lightweight, they endured hundreds of miles of off trail hiking. The straps never once came loose. But OR decided to "improve" them by adding wrap around hooks to ensure the straps wouldn't come loose. Including when you're trying to remove the gaites! After a hard day on the trail, you have to bend over and struggle, manipulate, contort to try to get them off. Finally, after twenty hikes or so, I just ripped them off and threw them in the trash where they belong. My last OR product.

Do the job, but unsure about durability
The primary purpose of these was to stop dust and other trail junk from entering my boots during the summer. They do a great job at that and now I don't have to stop every hour to clean out my boots. However I have noticed that the hardware on my boots is wearing a hole through one of the gaiters. For reference, I am wearing Zambalan Baltero boots. This is not the fault of the gaiter but is something to consider. I will patch them and see how long they last.

Good, But ...
I use these low gaiters primary for day hikes. They work well with the exception of the straps that wrap around the bottom of your shoe/boot. I have repaired (re-sowing) or had them repaired several (more than 4) times.

great 3-season gaiter for light hikers/sneakers!
I really like the fabric and versatility of this gaiter. however, the front hooking mechanism is plastic and quite small that it will not fit on the metal ring that comes on my hiking books especially for connecting to gaiters. the gaiter hook will certainly connect to the shoelace itself but would be more versatile if the hook was just a millimeter wider..

Worth the money
Multiple days desert hiking kept debris out of our boots. Also nice to have the extra layer of protection brushing up against the cacti! Easy on & off, very glad we made the purchase.

Not made for the CO Rockies
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The under-shoe strap was severed in half after the first use. Time to file a warranty claim.

Lasted Two Whole Days!
These may be a cute accessory for a shopping trip and a latte but they are clearly not up to actual hiking. The second day I had them on the elastic thread (yes - it is THREAD) holding the entire thing together broke. I would have repaired them but the hook for the shoelace was lost in the vegetation. They are now garbage - actually they were quite clearly garbage to begin with - unfortunately garbage that someone paid decent money for (was a gift) I strongly suggest OR test stuff like this before selling it for a purpose it is not at all suited for. You do know that trails are not sidewalks, right? I mean - there are sticks that get caught in things like ELASTIC THREAD and can break it.
