Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your gaiters, slide your leg through the opening and align the front zipper with your shin. Secure the hook-and-loop storm flap to ensure the zipper is protected. Attach the heavy-duty hook to your boot laces, pull the steel wire underneath your boot, and adjust the buckle to ensure a tight fit. For care, rinse the gaiters with cold water after exposure to mud or salt. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or campfires, which can degrade the synthetic nylon and weaken the elastic. Store them in a cool, dry place to prevent mildew on the fabric.
