I have used several types and have half a dozen pairs now, for different uses. I like Kenetrek gaiters for hunting, used with 8" heaavy leather climbing boots. These will allow you to quickly wade small streams without getting wet feet.

I sometimes use insulated super gaiters in winter and Gore-Tex gaiters in less cold snowshoeing; these work quite well and help keep your feet dry=warm. I prefer old-style leather heavy hikers for this, as well, due to support issues in steep terrain.

Myn favourites, tho', and I wear these every time I hike or backpack and am not using more specialized types, are the low, soft OR ones. These are just a FINE product and work so well in most of my uses, that I seldom use my others anymore.

Gaiters really ARE a valuable gear item.
