Mountain Hardwear Nut Shell Ventigaiter - Women's - 2007 BCS

I did not read the reviews before I bought this and was surprised that when I received them they were WAY to small and skinny. My first reaction was "OH my god! I must have HUGE calves". Disappointed I decided to exchange these for a size large. I then decided to read the reviews and was very glad that I did. I have averaged calves YEAH!!!! So just a side not... GET A LARGER PAIR.

wayyyyyy too small to fit even around a shoe at the bottom. The point of a gaiter is too keep stuff out...kind of difficult if they don't stay on the outside of your shoe. Disappointed since i love MH stuff usually.

Really wish I could have used these. They look like they will work well. I think there should be a button or something at the top of the gator instead of just the hook and loop. I used the sizing chart and got a small for my size 7 women's shoe. They are REALLY skinny though. I have no idea how you could get the small over any clothing. I'm giving them to my most bird legged friend and still not sure if they'll fit her.

I bought these for my wife, but the medium gaiters were far too small for both BC ski boots and hiking boots. Would have returned them if I'd lived in the US.

Really, there aren't too many reasons to wear gaiters. They give you strange tan lines and most trails are maintained well enough to keep from needing to bushwhack. But there are those occasions when gaiters are needed, and these fit well, are of burly construction and work fabulously. I was really happy with them snowshoeing over the winter and traipsing through the woods this summer.
