These gaitors are light weight, comfortable and even include a nice venting feature that secures in place when open so not to flap around and worry you. They are also made very well and will take the punishment. Very happy with them and with your site, esp.
Great Gaitors. Not up to mountaineering
College Hiker: 
Let me first say that these are great trekking gaiters. They are not waterproof above where the mesh (venting) panel starts but that's to be expected. They give you the waterproofness of a short gaiter, and protect from scree etc like a higher gaiter. The venting panel is great for summer hiking, especially climbing dry Rocky Mountains (like South Sister in Oregon) because they keep the rocks out and vent better than any gaiter out there. That being said, leave these gaiters at home if youre going to be wearing crampons. These gaiters will not stand up to ANY crampon encounters, I sliced right through them with ease (not on purpose of course). Don't be fooled by the "ASCENT" in the title, they must be talking about hills, not glacier mountains. Other than that these are great gaiters - I'm glad I have them but I had to buy a new pair for mountaineering which is what I bought them for. They do have burlier versions that work pretty well for mountaineering but by then mostly don't have vents, besides Black diamond GTX front point gaiters or OR crocodiles are simply better gaiters for mountaineering. I now use the Black Diamonds which have taken some serious abuse and are in perfect condition. So in summary, great trekking gaiter, I highly recommend them for that, just don't fool yourself about crampon use with them.
