Recent Gaiter/Overboot Reviews
Dirty Girl Gaiter
Poor warranty service and defect in color dye on the material. Don't expect any help with warranty issues. My pair with vibrant colors started fading in large spots after 6 day hikes. They called it normal wear and tear. Excuse me—it was obviously a fabric defect that they wouldn't admit to. Full review
Amundsen Peak Slim Fit Gaiters
The Amundsen Peak Slim Fit Gaiters can be connected directly to the Amundsen Peak Knickerbockers or worn separately. Either way they provide protection from just below the knee to the top of the boot. Securely attached yet providing easy access to boot laces if needed. Wind, snow, and water proof to a high degree making them four-season gear. When you hear the name Amundsen you can't help but think of adventure. Amundsen Sports was started in 2010 by Jørgen Amundsen based on his family heritage. Full review
Kuiu Yukon Gaiters
Great quality ruined by a bad top strap design. If you are walking in any kind of slash where debris can hit the top strap I would not recommend. The straps are pinched down with a lever type holder which comes undone every 20 steps or so—major flaw major piss off for $150. Full review
Inov-8 All Terrain Gaiter
The Inov-8 All Terrain Gaiter is an accessory that is designed to keep debris from entering footwear at the ankle. This product is ideal for hikers that are in an environment where dust, dirt, gravel, etc. easily gets into footwear. These gaiters function best with Inov-8 products that have proprietary hook pockets, but also can work universally with most low-top and mid-ankle footwear. Inov-8 products are rapidly catching on in the USA, and for good reason. With superior design being a necessity… Full review
Outdoor Research Expedition Crocodile Gaiters
Excellent Gore-Tex membrane gaiters. Excellent gaiters, made with Gore-Tex membrane, which guarantees impermeability and breathability. Its only problem is that the cord that goes under the sole of the shoe is made of synthetic material and after a lot of use in rocks it is usually broken. I prefer those that have a stainless steel cable. Full review
Hillsound Armadillo LT
The Hillsound Armadillo LT gaiters provide full length protection from the wet and yuck, but are breathable and light enough to wear all year long. A waterproof front zipper makes for easy use. Flexible upper material fits closely for less friction, yet allows freedom of movement for hiking, snowshoeing, or light climbing. Easily replaced foot strap is a bonus. Close fitting ankle to knee gaiter, but very flexible and light. Manufacturers… Full review
Dirty Girl Gaiter
Dirty Girl gaiters are a lightweight, simple, and affordable accessory designed to be worn with trail runners and low-top hiking shoes. They serve one basic function and that is to keep dirt and debris from getting inside your shoes. They are great for a variety of activities, from trail running to long-distance hiking. And how could you not like a product with a name like “Dirty Girl”! Description: These gaiters are a simple accessory designed to keep dirt and debris from getting inside a shoe… Full review
Winomo Ankle Gaiter
Excellent value. Even with a few shortcomings, keep debris and water out of boots. Reparable. This is my first pair of modern gaiters (long ago I had a pair of army surplus canvas ones). I bought these because I have a new pair of boots which I love except they pick up all sorts of debris. I chose these because they were cheap, and because the strap under the foot is a replaceable string, not a sewn-on strap. I have used them for temperate and hot weather hiking, summer and fall, @ 150 miles so… Full review
Outdoor Research Rocky Mountain High Gaiters
Study gaiters for all of your trudging needs! They keep snow and mud out, stay in place, and repel water. Only drawback, sweaty calves. Fit/Comfort/Adjustability: These gaiters are surprisingly comfortable for how sturdy they are—they're sturdy, not stiff! They work with trail runners or mountaineering boots. The adjustable straps under your foot and below the knee allow these gaiters to be used with a wide variety of footwear and pant options. And they stay in place when you fall off your bike....
