Outdoor Research Verglas Gaiter - Men's

Safety in the mountains often equals moving quickly over varied and difficult terrain. Outdoor Research designed the Verglas Gaiters to carry light and travel fast. Whether you'rekicking steps up a fragile snow finger, skinning across a glacier, or negotiating a hairy bushwhack, you can't afford to snag, rip, or be bogged down with snow and debris. The asymmetrically-cut boot section provides a secure fit with leather hiking boots or plastic mountaineering boots, making the Verglas functional as much as a stout backpacking gaiter as it is a serious mountaineering gaiter. The ultra-light, waterproof, breathable 3-layer Ventia leg section and the coated 500d Cordura boot section make this gaiter a more packable alternative to the OR Crocodiles. A nylon-supported rubber instep strap pulls the gaiter down and flush with your boot to seal out snow and debris. Offset the 1.5in-wide hook-and-loop front closure if you need to make room for insulated pants.

Bottom Line: Charge into the wild with dry, happy feet.

I stepped thru deepest snow at Mt St. Helens and these kept my feet dry. I'm totally happy with this product and can strongly recommend it. Thanks

Great Lightweight Gaiter

By: paulba (7)
February 15, 2008

This gaiter employs a very classic design and fit. They work quite well for lighter-weight alpine (or any other) applications. I am looking forward to using them on Mount Adams tomorrow. On first use with crampons i put two small little scuffs in them, however, because the cordura bottom section isn't anywhere near as heavy-duty as that of a classic Crocodile gaiter.

They get the job done

These may be lighter weight than the Crocs but they're still bomb proof. Keeps the water (& snow, debris, etc.) out and heat in for winter treks but are still breathable enough for warmer outings. The Ventia waterproofing seems just as effective as the Gore-tex on other gaiters. Fit and adjustment seems good too, they were fairly easy to get on and stayed where I put 'em. Great buy too since the price is lower than their older sibling. Hard to beat OR.

OR verglas gaiter

By: cavegorilla (2)

This is a great product. The terrain that I work and play in ranges from really steep areas with cacti and rocks to higher area with pine and lots of undergrowth. They are tough. If you do happen nick them either with your crampons or on something else, the material makes them very easy to repair.

Love the gaiters

Very effective way to keep the snow and slush out of the boots. I have hiked through brush in the snow and the gaiters didn't even receive a mark.

These are a very light and effective way to keep snow and muck out of your shoes. The waterproof design is essential and the leather strap keeps them very secure.

Like these better then the Crocodiles

By: Garrett Grove (228)

These are the sweetest gaitors and a great price. The Ventia membrane repels all water, is very durable and lightweight. They fit great and breath pretty descent. The strap underneath the foot is very strong to, as it has never ripped on my. I wear size 10 boots, but have skinny legs and use a medium.

Didn't really miss the Gore-Tex...

By: benjammin (39)

I'm usually a stickler for Gore-Tex when I need 'waterproofness', but I gotta admit - these things held up pretty well. I kind of expected the snow to get through these non Gore-Tex gaiters, but I stayed completely dry. As long as you can keep the snow from getting up through the bottom of the gaiter, you should be golden. They're nothing fancy or flashy, but they got the job done. I'd recommend them.
