Outdoor Research

Crocodiles Gaiter

My favorite gaiters from OR. Great for thick trails and for wet hikes.

Perfect if you know your size

These are my go to winter gaiters. They are great for keeping snow out of my boots while mountaineering and snowshoeing. They are solidly constructed and the fabric is tough enough to put up with moderate wear and tear from crampons / rocks / vegetation. The only frustrating bit is the sizing. Most available sizing from OR is based on shoe sizes, which is not at all helpful. Find the actual product measurements (they’re out there) and compare those to your actual calf measurements.

OR makes the best gaiters around! I ordered these for myself after using a similar version for a number of years in the military. These are pretty much the same with some slight material differences, but hold up just as well as the mil ones.

I've used the gaiters a couple of times when it snows. great protection and coverage, my feet and pants always stay dry. these are heavy duty and easy to use, not lightweight but they do the job.

the best gators

I used to be skeptical about gators but I use them almost daily in the summer now. All my coworkers in trail crew use this model and I was convinced to get some. Works great for keeping your feet dry while walking through wet brush and even stream crossings if your fast enough. They are very durable besides the small velcro flap in the front and the work almost just as well without so just cut it off if it's failing or warenty them Outdoor Research is great with that.

Easy to put on and take off. Kept snow out of my hunting boots. Would definitely recommend these to anyone looking for Gaiters.

To keep it simple, these gaiters are rugged, fit an incredibly wide range of shoes, and do a really good job at keeping debris, snow, and other junk of of boots. I would frequently pair these with low ankle boots and they would still keep out a majority of snow out. If you want a pair of all around gaiters, these wont disappoint you.

These gaiters turned out to be very durable while snowshoeing in the New Mexican mountains through a burn scare area. There were numerous sharp burnt sticks that were unable to impale them. The stirrups also worked well.

These are sturdy, reliable, and keep snow out of your boots. Ive used them snowshoeing in north Tahoe. I got the blue/orange ones and I like that the color stands out. They have a little hook on the front for your boot laces to help keep them in place. The velcro is strong. Easy to put on and use. Great reliable brand too. Bought a few years ago. Not much difference between mens vs womens. Im 5’10” and ordered large

This is the 4th new pair I've owned so far in my lifetime. Keeping my newest pair for hiking, mountaineering, snowshoeing, or whatever outdoor activity I'm using them for, and my older pairs I save as my "beaters" for yard work, logging, tree trimming, digging. brush clearing or whatever. Once my beaters have been repaired 3 or more times acquiring rips/tears through their rough life, I retire them and get another new pair. They patch up really well using a chunk of Cordura and some seam grip. They are worth every penny and its nice to gear a new pair on sale.
