Product Information

Full details

The Trekmates Junior Gaiter in Black is designed for young adventurers who need reliable leg protection during outdoor activities. Its key benefit is keeping legs dry and protected from mud, snow, and debris, ensuring comfort on various terrains and in all weather conditions. A minor caveat is that while adjustable, they are sized for junior boots, so verifying fit with specific boot models is recommended. This lightweight, waterproof, and windproof gaiter features DRY™ technology for breathability and is easy to put on and take off.

FAQs

Are these gaiters suitable for very cold weather?

Yes, they provide protection against elements like snow and wind. For extreme cold, consider adding thermal layers to your child's legs.

How do I determine the correct size?

These are 'one-size-fits-all' for junior walking boots. They are designed with adjustability to fit most standard junior boot sizes.

Can these be machine washed?

It is recommended to hand wash with a damp cloth and mild soap for best results and to preserve the waterproof/breathable properties. Avoid machine washing and tumble drying.

What is DRY™ technology?

DRY™ technology refers to the waterproof and breathable membrane used in the upper panels of the gaiter, designed to keep water out while allowing sweat vapor to escape.

How heavy are the gaiters?

The gaiters are very lightweight, weighing approximately 130g per pair.

Can these be used with non-walking boots?

While designed for junior walking boots, they may fit other sturdy junior footwear. However, compatibility is best ensured with standard walking boot designs.

Troubleshooting

Gaiters feel loose or slip down.

Ensure the elasticated ankle and rear hem are pulled snug against the boot and leg. Check that the metal lace hook is securely fastened to the boot laces.

Water is seeping through.

Inspect for any tears or damage. Clean the gaiters and consider reapplying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment to the fabric, following the treatment manufacturer's instructions.

Zipper is difficult to close.

Check for any fabric or debris caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to clear the obstruction and test the zipper again. Ensure the storm flap is not hindering the zipper.
