Rocky Mountain High Gaiters

Solid gaiters

I needed some new gaiters for snowshoeing and backcountry skiing. I been liking the Outdoor Research products I've used recently so it was a no brainer to try these. No complaints! From the lace hook to the velcro enclosure and cinch strap at the top they work great. I went with a size large. I am 6' and about 180lbs and stomp around on size 11 feet. They come up to just under my knee and I need to cinch the cinch strap a good bit, but perfectly functional at that size for me.

Light weight dry

They fit well, keep my boots and socks dry while out on SAR missions.

They do the job.

Familiarity:

I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share

Size Bought:

Large

I bought these for my husband who hikes the NH 4000 footers. He's worn them a few times, and they stay up, keep the snow out and are very light weight.

Lightweight, Durable, Packable

These are great multipurpose gaiters for any season

Good gaiters

I wear them regularly all winter. Wore med size because the leg height was spot on only issue the foot strap needs 2 more holes longer so they fit over my boots in the right place for the hook loop. This time i went with the large. I am 6'2" size 11 boots They are so tall they fasten at the knee, rubs the back of the knee, about 2" too long to be worn comfortably, but they fit nicely over my boots.

Best gaiters available

I have bought a number of different gaiters over the years and these are the best ones I've found. Well-designed, lightweight, easy to put on, I really like the system for keeping then snug around your calves, etc. Really the best ones around.

Works great

Used them for a few hours a day in the Montana winter for a couple of days. They worked well and kept the snow out of my boots while also protecting my pants from twigs and branches. I recommend water-proofing them with a waterproofing spray before using them for snow. Wearing baggier pants also helps them stay up better if you cinch them tight just below the knee.

Do the job

Currently using these for winter fat biking. Do a great job biking and keep my dry when pushing through deep snow. I'm sure they will work all seasons.

Totally awesome

These work perfect and are not that heavy do not weigh you down at all and work wonders! Super happy

A must have item for those who like activities in the snow

I bought this for my everyday winter hiking and snowshoeing and it kept my leg dry for the whole activity. very easy to put on, stay unmoved and lightweight.
