Outdoor Research Crocodiles Gaiter - Women's

Absolutely Bomber! I climb the Colorado mountains and put these through the wringer. I have had a pair of these for 6 years, albeit the mens version since I don't think they made womens then. They are just now getting a little ragged and I have used them A LOT. They have withstood many close encounters with ice axes, trekking poles, snowshoe cleats and crampons...OR is the best!

It has great craftsmanship, tough material, super strong velcro, and it did its job, it kept the snow out when I hiked in 3 feet of snow.

Doesn't get much better than these. Beefy, but still compact and sleek, these will never let anything through them. They are also a breeze to put on and adjust. Once you buy them, you will have them for 20 years. Don't buy cheap gaiters-these are a million times better.

I have one pair and now my girl friend have one pair too. They will keep your feet hot and dry when the weather gets really bad. I use them for back country skiing in Northern Sweden where the temperature can be as low as -30°F or less and these gaiters will for sure keep your feet warm.

I love these gaiters. I tried on Black Diamond, Mountain Hardwear, REI and these fit me perfectly. They are bomber and I love things that are made well. I've worn them all winter for 2 seasons now and love them. (A little late on my review, but thought I should test them out first).

I bought these for my wife! We are using these for a little snowshoeing. They seem great. No concern of tearing but they're reinforced just in case. They're plenty adjustable and seem to be a perfect addition to the keep it warm/dry arsenal. OR stuff has always worked very well for me and I expect the exact same from these! Plus they have the cuteness factor with a little flowering on the sides:)

This is my first pair of gaiters and I don't know why i waited so long. they are built to last, for sure. they stay put and are super comfy even when i'm wearing shorts.

I ordered these in a large, going by the size chart. Way too big everywhere! They look really great and I can't wait for a smaller size to come in to try them out.

These gaiters are AWESOME! They've kept my feet dry in icy rain and snow and have withstood lots of pain from my crampons. I've been wearing the Men's Small and they're a little big - no complaints on functionality, but occasionally, my crampons snagged on the extra fabric and the gaiters would uncomfortably jam into the back of my knee from being too long. So I finally ordered the Women's version - and they fit GREAT!!

I couldn't find the differences in specs online, so here they are (in Small): the Women's are 1.5" shorter in height and 0.5" smaller in circumference around the calves. Both have the same circumference at the opening. I am short and small and wear a size 5.5 boot and have 13" calves around. With a base layer, fleece pants, softshell pants and my plastic boots, these are really nice and form fitting! I LOVE them and can't wait to try them out - besides the fit, everything else seems to be the exact same as the Men's including the toughness - fantastic!!

My only complaint is the silly flower on the side... Way too girly and not really my style :)

I love these gaiters! I wore them for a couple weeks hiking in Costa Rica last summer. I didn't sweat very much under them, and they kept me dry in torrential downpour. :) I would highly recommend them. I am 5'2' with large calves (about 19") and they fit just fine, with some room to cinch more if I wanted to.

My question: are these recommended for protection against snakes? I will be traveling to Belize this summer for more off-the-trail type hiking and don't know if I should get more snake-proof gaiters, or if these will do.

Bought these for my wife. She's been back country skiing in them twice and likes them a lot. They seem rather indestructible and she like the little feminine flower touch. Way better than my cheaper gaiters... I'm jealous!

And probably my last considering how durable these things seem to be. I'm a newbie with crampons so I'm still constantly rubbing against the gaiters quite a bit, but I've not seen any evidence of wear yet. Easy on/off, but once they're on they're not going anywhere. Good fit for a very generalized product.

Even my mom can deal with these, easy to put on and adjust. Comfy and don't slip down or move around when I'm trotting around in the deep pow with my pooch!

This gaiter rocks! The croc gaiter stays up on your leg better than any other gaiter that I have used and doesn't shift around at all. They are easy to put on and stay there very securely. My only negative to this gaiter is that it doesn't do well in the hot temps, you tend to sweat a ton under them, they don't breathe extremely well. But for snow or moderate temps, this gaiter is unparalleled. I have never had it tear with a crampon on either.
