Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"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."

From Oregon Mountain Community:
"The Outdoor Research Expedition Crocodiles : Like Crocs with even thicker skin, these gaiters are made to function on extended mountaineering trips, in cold weather and difficult conditions. They are larger in circumference, giving you more room for plastic boots and insulated pants. The inside leg of each gaiter is made of durable Cordura® fabric that resists crampon snagging.

"Best gaiter on the market for mountaineering. The field replaceable instep strap is awesome, and the fact that the entire inner leg is reinforced makes these guys able to take a beating. They are sized for a mountaineering boot, ie insulated leather or plastic, so try them on with the boots you're going to use before buying."
