Outdoor Research Crocodiles Gaiter - Men's description

Winner of Backpacker Magazine's 1999 Editor's Choice Gold Award, Outdoor Research Crocodiles Gaiters the original do-it-all gaiter of mountaineers, backcountry skiers, and off-trail adventurers are designed to handle anything. The durable Taslan Gore-Tex leg section, much like the Crocodile Gaiter's namesake, creates an impenetrable hide-like shield against snow, rocks, and every hiker's bane, the thorny Devil's Club. The 1000d Cordura boot section, lined with burly, coated 8 oz. packcloth, resists the abuses dealt from ski edges, crampons and general wear. The water-resistant coating on the packcloth faces the Cordura layer, thereby protecting the coating from boot abrasion and insuring a much longer life for these gaiters. A 2in-wide hook-and-loop front closure offers enough range to accommodate leather and plastic boots as well as light or heavy insulating layers.

Bottom Line: Often imitated, never bettered, the Crocodile will give you the confidence to hike through any conditions.


please let it snow

Haven't had a chance to use them but they look rugged. Nice material to prevent damage from crampons. Outdoor Research has some of the best stuff out there.


Look no further
OkP:  

These are the very definition of bomber. I'm a little dubious of the claims that you can stand around shin deep in water and stay bone dry (no gaiter is designed for that kind of sealing). But when I used them in snow, ice, and talus, they held up perfectly, kept me dry, and stayed on tight.
