Outdoor Research Rocky Mountain High Gaiter (Packcloth)

Great Gaiters
It's a very good product. I've used it several times in the North Country. I have even walked through thigh high snow and it kept my feet and pants dry, except for the exposed areas. I recommend this product for anyone faced with deep snow and winter hiking condition.s

Why not wear your full gear
Gaiters help to protect my husbands legs as well as help insulate them. The sage and prickly bushes never touch or tear his pants but seem to slide right by. The snow doesn't fall into his boots and his feet stay warm. Why go out without them. They are easy to put on, comfortable to wear, and they look good too.

Awesome Gaiters
These things work great. They keep me comlpetely dry whether I'm hiking, or just shoveling the driveway. The velcro all the down the front makes them easy to take on and off.

Excellent Gaiters
I wear these gaiters often in Vermont, 3 months of the year. Very well designed and superb materials. Absolutely waterproof. The length is very ample for deep snow. Truly, a quality product.

I love my gators!
I have a problem with my feet and have not found boots wide enough in the toe box to eleviate the pain. I wear either my Dansko Sports or my Footprints made by Birkenstocks with my Rocky mountain High Gators which virtually turns them into boots keeping my feet dry.

Light and fast
Easy to get in and out of these light gaiters using velcro closure in front. Durable strap under the instep. If you wear a 46 (or size 12) you will definitely have to have size XL, and if you wear a larger boot than that, good luck.

Does the job.
Hiked up to Panther Peak with waist deep snow in some spots. Not one molecule of H2O breached my new gaiters to assault my feet! Outstanding performance ;) My only quarrel is that they are a little pricey. Still though, a good value.

great gators
these gators keep the tics and mud off. Also. they're intelligently designed.. you can pull them on like socks, or unvelcro them and wrap them around your legs like a mini coat...

These are handy
I found myself off trail on a nasty briar-deadfall mountain, although trail map said continue. What do you do? you pull out the gaiters and press on! It was hot and this gaiter felt fine on my bare legs. It breathed and protected my leg up to the knee. After crossing this segment, I rolled them off and folded them back into bag very easily.

Good solid all-around gators
I have used these gators for the last few years. They have held up very well, I have only had to replace the lace that holds them down. I like how easy they are to ventilate at the top and to take on/off.

These Gaiters fit the bill.
These Gaiters fit right out of the packaging. They hold well on the leg and are great from keeping snow and water out of the top of your boot. These are the one item people forget to buy or bring on hiking trips. The people that do bring them, never forget them.

Gets the job done
There's not much too gaiters; you wear them to protect your shins and keep junk from falling into your boots. After hiking in Glacier National Park with only ankle-high gaiters and getting my shins cut up by brush, I made the switch to the shin-high gaiters and my shins have been grateful. My only complaint about these gaiters is the string used to keep the gaiters down on your boots can easily come untied (which has happened to me) and be lost on a hike.

Good Gator
Good all round gator, but did not fit as well as others I have used (Mtn Hrdwr). It serves the purpose of a gator for general field use to keep ticks off.

poor fit
Sizing based on boot size isn't really going to work when boots aren't sized based on leg circumference. I hike and bike a lot, so my calves are a little overdeveloped, and I was really hoping these guys would get the fit right, but no such luck.
