Here's what other sites are saying:

From Moosejaw:
"Free Shipping. Outdoor Research Men's Verglas Gaiters (Spring 2008) The Men's Verglas Gaiters by Outdoor Research are designed for leather hiking boots to plastic mountaineering boots. Specifications: Avg. weight: 7.4 oz. / 210 g Features: 3-layer 50D rip stop Ventia leg section Coated 500D Cordura boot section Cordura section is curved and shaped for maximum durability and ventilation in.-wide webbing and cam buckle top closure 1 in.-wide hook/loop front closure Double-riveted lace hook Nylon-supported rubber instep strap"

From Backcountry.com:
"Safety in the mountains often equals moving quickly over varied and difficult terrain. Outdoor Research designed the Verglas Gaiters to carry light and travel fast. Whether you'rekicking steps up a fragile snow finger, skinning across a glacier, or negotiating a hairy bushwhack, you can't afford to snag, rip, or be bogged down with snow and debris. The asymmetrically-cut boot section provides a secure fit with leather hiking boots or plastic mountaineering boots, making the Verglas functional as much as a stout backpacking gaiter as it is a serious mountaineering gaiter. The ultra-light, waterproof, breathable 3-layer Ventia leg section and the coated 500d Cordura boot section make this gaiter a more packable alternative to the OR Crocodiles. A nylon-supported rubber instep strap pulls the gaiter down and flush with your boot to seal out snow and debris. Offset the 1.5in-wide hook-and-loop front closure if you need to make room for insulated pants."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"Extended hikes and climbs always feel better when there isn't mud, rain, snow and grit seeping down into the cuffs of your boots. The waterproof and durable Outdoor Research Verglas Gaiters help keep the uncomfortable stuff out with a rugged and lightweight three-ply Ventia upper fabric upper durably connected to a waterproof Cordura nylon lower fabric. Outdoor Research carefully curved and shaped the Cordura nylon around your boot for improved ventilation and a trail-worthy profile that won't flop or fall apart like some improperly sized gaiters. Verglas Gaiters are built for the long haul--especially in places where reckoning is your only guide."

From US Outdoor Store:

"I bought this for snowshoeing, and was debating between these and the OR Croc Gaiters. I am glad I went with these. I saved a few bucks and these are lighter, fit GREAT and have kept my legs dry on 8 - 9 hour trips trudging through powder all day."
