Light, breathable, waterproof and durable. These all-season gaiters perform well across the board; in fact, better than expected. Worth the price.

Best gaiters - Sally Dabrowski - 2010-04-24

I am a woman, but got the Men's gaiters rather than the Women's because they are narrower and higher (right below my knee). These gaiters stay in place and never slip down on my calf. Nothing gets through them. Overall, these are the best gaiters I've ever worn.

Terrific, Terrific, Terrific!! - Michelle - 2010-03-12

Had to admit that when my husband bought me a women's pair of these for Christmas I was less than thrilled, but then Iowa was hit with HUGE snow, and these gaiters were awesome! Would highly recommend these - durable and high quality!!

So Far So Good! - Chuck - 2010-03-04

I have used these twice after my old faithful 20+ year gaiters gave out. Love the quality of the materials and design. So many improvements! OR has carefully thought-out the design of these. I am looking forward to seeing the test of time but the OR Infinite Guaranteed„¢ makes these unquestionably worth the price.

Exactly what I wanted - Anonymous - 2010-02-23

Perfect for snow shoeing. After looking at several options I believe these are one of the best quality gaiter's out there. I bought a pair for me and another for the wife. We both love them.

Great with snow - Anonymous - 2010-01-30

I haven't gotten to try these with mud yet but they were excellent for snow. I wore cotton for a test hike and it stayed completely dry. Would definitely recommend and buy again.

Work great for work! - Glenn - 2010-01-20

Bought these for land surveying in the snow. Gaiters became popular in our office this winter, so I have been able to check these against other brands, and I'm most impressed with the Crocs, even for the price. Had to go with these to fit over my winter boots, as the other brands wouldn't fit. Ordered a size XL for a size 11 Rocky boot, and they fit perfectly.

effective and sturdy - Anonymous - 2010-01-15

Tested a pair from a friend on two winter treks before buying. Feet stayed warm, dry, and snow/ice free. Attaches sturdily to boots. If anything, the Velcro so strong they are difficult to remove.

Awesome gaiters! - Stu - 2009-10-12

Really liked the fit of these gaiters. I wear a size 9 boot and the Large size was perfect for me. Very durable construction and really like the fact that the strap that goes under the arch of your boot can be replaced should the original ever wear out. Very pleased!

Fabulous! - Anonymous - 2009-08-31

These kept us warm and dry throughout our trip to Denali. I would definitely recommend them to others. They also saved us from the countless rocks that would have gotten into our boots..

GReat OR - muzik chen - 2009-05-14

What do you want from gaiters? As far as I'm concerned, I just want to keep the snow out of my boots. These do the job admirably. They are quick and easy to put on and take off, and seem to be pretty breathable, too. The velcro closure looks like it might be a weak point, but it doesn't leak, and seems to be holding up well. And you can't argue with the convenience: this closure is way quicker than a zipper. I've had these for a long time and worn them on something like a hundred winter runs/hikes in the Wasatch, an they look as good as new. Still, it's nice to know they have an unlimited warranty.

very good product. shows excellent quality! - Anonymous - 2009-02-18

I bought the gaiters, took them to the mountains and hunted grouse 3 straight 8 hour days and they were great. Good comfort, great fit and worked like they should. I couldn't be happier.

Great OR gaiter - Charles - 2009-01-13

Purchased the OR gaiters in Dec. and used them for a week in the Mt. San antonio in Los Angeles wilderness backpacking. They were great. Easy to put on and off.Very comfortable. The weather was perfect, in the seventies and my legs stayed cool. Protected my legs from all the low brush. Also protected against mosquitoes and bees. Would recommend them to anyone who is going backpacking and skiing in the backcountry.

Great Gators, Very Durable, Highly Recommend. - Eric - 2009-01-10

Used these gators for 2 days in Northern Vermont while snowshoeing. They worked great, very durable, no leaks. The large velcro closer tab is very secure. I really enjoy the heavy duty leather boot strap. It is very strong and will stand up to repeated abuse. Best of all the leather strap is replacable, when damaged.

great - Groucho Pedulla - 2009-01-03

the crocodile gaiters are wonderful; they stay up, protect you from snow and mud and debris. And of course, keep you DRY. I would recomend this product!

First class materials--very well constructed - Ed Boon - 2008-12-27

These gaiters should last forever. They are made of first class materials and very well put together. The Velcro is really tough. They are easy to put on and take off. The lace-clip does not hold well on my boots. The boot would need laces that extend farther towards the toe for the clip to hold, but the underfoot strap holds the gaiters in place without any problem. These are definitely top of the line gaiters.

Top Class Gaiters - Bob Fin - 2008-06-30

Used these on most of my wet walking trips in Scotland, Glencoe, Glen Etive, Skye etc with no problems. They do exactly what they are supposed to and not to heavy.

The best - James Miller - 2008-03-21

Bought these for my little brother because he was jealous of mine. He has an 18.25 inch calf and needed the XXL. I have the M and they fit my 14.5 inch calf. Don't over tighten them--the lace attachment will pull at your laces and mess up your boot fit (I wonder how I figured that out). Super tough--OR is top notch!

These gaiters fit well,I am glad I bought these. I have seen some Mountain Hardwear ventigators on the trail and those look like an interesting design. They might be an interesting choice too.

Bulletproof gaiters - adrian hanson - 2006-11-17

I bought these for use in the snow and for really wet weather. the quality is extremey good and the materials are very strong. I bought a slightly larger size and it fits all my pairs of hiking boots plus my large Sorel winter boots. As always, OR makes a great product and I am very happy.

Great OR gaiter - Ronald Clifton - 2006-08-07

Purchased the OR gaiters in July and used them for a week in the Jefferson wilderness backpacking. They were great. Easy to put on and off.Very comfortable.

Would buy again - DJM - 2010-07-08

I used these on a 14 day hunting trip in Colorado during October and they worked great. Hardly any signs of wear. However once they get packed with mud they can be difficult to clean out.

Does the dirty job right! - Marlo L. Brown - 2009-07-07

NY high peaks can get messy and this bad boy kept me from loosing my boots in several sinkholes. It was easy to adjust, get on, and off, and they did not slip. The only reason its a four and not a five is that they are hard to clean mud out off. It takes a lot of scrubbing.

They seem ok. - Anonymous - 2007-12-17

I've used them at work this fall, (not on trails). So far so good. We'll see how they hold up with everyday use in the woods.

Great gaiters!! - Igor Lorget - 2007-11-25

These gaiters are simply great. The only thing I could complain is that the hook on the front kept unhooking from my shoe but no big deal. Bad shoes anyway. Otherwise, I just tried them in Colorado after first snowfall, was fantastic atmosphere and they kept me dry and warm throughout the hike!!

Good value for the money - Bill Schneider - 2007-01-21

Have only used them once but found them much easier to put on then previous gaiters I have used. Personally, I reversed them from the recommended side to wear them on. Found it easier to have the instep strap on the inside of my foot. For me, a little ungainly to tighten when on the outside. Lack of snow and ice in the Catskills meant they weren't exposed to any wayward crampons but the material seems like it would hold up well. Looking forward to using them more.

or crocodile gaiters - marco - 2006-05-25

i own many OR products and swear by them; their gaiters are definatly top quality, but there is only one problem. the gaiters i really wanted for their incredible durability and design were the OR expedition crocs, which are made only up to an XL sizing; the OR regular crocs are made up to XXL, but they still are not large enough around the ankle!!! i mountaineer with size 13 snowboard boots and crampons, and the velcro closure just bareley closes. OR claims that a XXL sizing fits up to size 15; this is not true in all cases. P.S. if anyone from OR sees this remember i still love you, you just need to manufacture a small quantity of XXXL crocs for us bigfooted boarders; all us boarders don't just want to jib it up, some of us want to mountaineer too!!!!
