Tired of those pesky skeeters nipping at your exposed ankles? Strap on the Outdoor Research Bugout Gaiters and enjoy itch-free hiking thanks to the Insect Shield fabric. The odorless insect repellent treatment keeps the little biters away and lasts for up to 70 washings. This lightweight gaiter also keeps out dirt, rocks and other trail debris with its elastic cuffs and durable instep strap.
Bottom Line: Keep the bugs out, as well as the rocks, dirt, snow…
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

Hey,
It will keep sand out just fine if you are talking about it simply kicking up on the sides of your boots/shoes. However, if you are walking in deep sand that would be past boot/shoe height then you may have some issue keeping it out.

Probably will keep the bugs at bay (have other bugout items), but a Man's Small and a Man's Medium would not fit my 5'3" ladies frame (140 lb.) No big thunder thighs or calves here but both men's sizes would not close around the top unless I cut off my circulation! Sorry to send back, I do have the Expedition Men's Small gaiter which just fits!
Will these keep moisture out from wet brush?

Yep. They're not waterproof, but they'll keep the water off pant legs and out of the top of shoes.

The Bugout Gaiters will work great for trail running. Although the Flex-tex gaiters have a more contoured fit and will breathe a bit easier.
thanks!
