FAQs
Are these gaiters waterproof?
They are made from durable ripstop nylon which provides a high degree of water and debris protection, though they are not marketed as fully submersible or waterproof.
How much do they weigh?
The Rab Trek Gaiters weigh approximately 175g.
Can I use these with trail runners?
While they are designed for bulky trekking boots, they can be used with trail runners if the underfoot strap can be positioned securely.
How do I choose the right size?
Select your size based on your boot volume and leg diameter to ensure the elasticized ankle provides a snug, non-restrictive fit.
Do I need to replace the underfoot strap?
The underfoot strap is a high-wear component; if it becomes frayed or damaged, it should be replaced to maintain the gaiter's effectiveness.
Troubleshooting
Gaiter keeps riding up.
Ensure the front lace hook is properly secured to your boot laces and the underfoot strap is tightened snugly.
Hook-and-loop closure is not sticking.
Clear out any accumulated mud, sand, or fibers from the hook-and-loop fabric using a stiff brush.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your gaiters, slide the underfoot strap through the designated loops before putting on your boots. Once your boots are on, attach the lace hook to the front of your laces and press the front hook-and-loop closure firmly together, starting from the ankle and moving upward. To clean, rinse off mud with fresh water and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources. Regularly inspect the underfoot strap for signs of fraying and clear any grit or pine needles from the hook-and-loop fasteners to ensure they remain secure.
