From Campmor:
"Boot Sizes: S(4-7), M(6-9), L(8-11), XL(10-13), XXL(12-15). Like their namesakes, Outdoor Research Crocodiles Gaiters have been around forever. The instep strap is replaceable, and an additional tab holds the front opening down, but otherwise they remain unchanged. The fitted design and durable, waterproof fabrics are as effective now as ever. Backpacker Magazine's 1999 Editors' Choice Gold Award 3-layer 70D Taslan Gore-Tex leg section. 1000D Cordura boot section, lined with coated 8 oz. packcloth. 3/4 inch-wide webbing and cam buckle top closure. 2-inch wide hook/loop front closure. Hook/loop shear tab prevents separation of front closure. Double-needle stitching on hook/loop front closure. Field-replaceable, urethane-coated nylon instep strap. Double-riveted boot lace hook. Avg. weight: 10.2 oz./289 g (size L, per pair)."
From Backcountry.com:
"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."
