Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these gaiters machine washable?

It is highly recommended to hand wash these gaiters to preserve the GORE-TEX membrane and the structural integrity of the ripstop panels.

Can I use these for winter climbing?

While they are highly durable, they are specifically designed for hillwalking and trekking; ensure your crampons do not snag the gaiter material if used in winter conditions.

How do I choose the right size?

Select your size based on your calf circumference and boot size; the gaiter should fit snugly around the boot to prevent gaps.

What is the primary material?

The gaiters are primarily constructed from durable Polyester with reinforced lower panels.

Do these provide warmth?

While they offer some wind-blocking protection, their primary purpose is waterproofing rather than insulation.

Are the drawcords easy to operate with gloves?

Yes, the snag-free split drawcords are designed for easy, one-handed adjustment even when wearing outdoor gloves.

Troubleshooting

Gaiter keeps slipping down

Ensure the top drawcord is tightened properly and the elasticated ankle section is positioned correctly over the narrowest part of your boot.

Water entering from the bottom

Check that the gaiter is pulled tight against the boot chassis and that the underside straps (if applicable) are tensioned correctly.

Zips becoming difficult to slide

Clean away any grit or dried mud from the zipper track using a soft brush, then ensure the fabric is clear of the teeth while zipping.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing with GORE-TEX technology
  • Highly durable ripstop material in high-wear areas
  • Secure closure system keeps debris out
  • Easy to adjust for different calf sizes
  • Breathable material prevents overheating

Cons

  • Requires proper sizing for a perfect fit
  • Polyester construction requires regular cleaning for longevity
  • May feel slightly stiff until broken in

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results, pull the gaiters over your boots and ensure the rear hem is centered on the heel. Use the zip and hook-and-loop fastener to close the front, ensuring the fabric is flat and not bunched. Adjust the top drawcord to a snug but comfortable position around your calf to prevent slipping. For care, rinse off mud after each use with fresh water. If they become heavily soiled, hand wash in lukewarm water with a technical fabric cleaner. Always air dry away from direct heat sources to maintain the integrity of the GORE-TEX membrane.
