FAQs

How do I determine the correct size?

How do I clean the gaiters?

Brush off dirt, hand wash with mild detergent, and air dry. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.

What should I do if the under-boot strap breaks?

The under-boot strap is replaceable. Replacement straps are often available from outdoor retailers or from Trekmates.

Are these gaiters suitable for winter activities?

Yes, the gaiters provide excellent protection against snow and are suitable for winter hiking, trekking, and mountaineering.

How do I maintain the waterproof performance?

Clean the gaiters regularly and reapply a durable water repellent (DWR) treatment when needed.

What is the weight of the gaiters?

Troubleshooting

Gaiters are too loose and slide down.

Ensure the calf adjustment is tightened. Check the under-boot strap and replace if worn. Verify that you have the correct size.

Water is entering the boots.

Check that the zip and storm flap are fully closed. Inspect for any damage to the Gore-Tex fabric or seams and repair or replace as needed. Ensure the gaiters are properly sized and fitted.

Difficulty zipping or unzipping the gaiters.

Clear any mud or debris from the zipper. Lubricate the zipper with a specialized zipper lubricant. Avoid forcing the zipper.
