Summary
They are easy to adjust, highly breathable and make no noise when frozen. Front hook is hard to attach with gloves on.. :-(
Pros
- Breathability
- Light
Cons
- Front hook has to go under the shoelaces
The only problem I have with them is the front hook. When taking them on in deep snow or heavy frost it becomes a problem that I have to take my gloves off to put the gaiters on. Taking the gaiters off after a winter hike can also be tricky due to the hook going under the shoe laces.
I have tested/use them here in Greenland during our winters and have used them at - 42°C without any problems other than the front hook "problem."
Where to Buy
$30.00 - $55.00
