Outdoor Research Expedition Crocodile Gaiter

Outdoor Research Expedition Crocodile Gaiter description

The Outdoor Research Expedition Crocodiles Gaiters are large enough to wrap around plastic mountaineering boots and thick, insulated pants, and the Gore-Tex and Cordura fabrics provide waterproof protection. Outdoor Research made these mountaineering gaiters with three-layer Gore-Tex on the upper leg sections and durable Cordura on the inner leg and boot section, so your pants, socks, and legs stay dry on ice climbing ascents. Plus, your crampons won't snag on the insides of these gaiters. Attach the hook on the Expedition Crocodiles to your boot laces, tighten the top cinch-strap, and fasten the urethane-coated nylon instep strap. A hook-and-loop tab at the bottom keeps the front of these gaiters closed.

Bottom Line: Keeping insulated pants and plastic boots dry isn't a problem when you have Outdoor Research's large-circumference Expedition Crocodiles.

These were the only gaiters I could find that would fit over my mountaineering boots. Selling them by shoe size is a great idea. They worked great for my mountaineering class in Utah!

Great Gaitors but decided the regular crocs would have been best choice. The expedition gaitors are quite a bit larger in circumference to accomadate thick leg insulation. If you are worried about fitting crocs over double plastic boots - both expedition and regular crocs fit over them.
