Outdoor Research Crocodiles Gaiter - Women's
Outdoor Research Crocodiles Gaiter - Women's
The original do-it-all gaiter of mountaineers, backcountry skiers, and off-trail adventurers, the Outdoor Research Women's Crocodiles Gaiters are designed for ladies who handle anything. Designed specifically for women, these gaiters feature increased volume in the calf and a shorter overall length. The durable Taslan Gore-Tex® leg section, much like the Crocodile Gaiter's namesake, creates an impenetrable hide-like shield against snow, rocks and every hiker's bane, the thorny Devil's Club. The 1000d Cordura boot section, lined with burly, coated 8 oz. packcloth, resists the abuses dealt from ski edges, crampons and general wear. The water-resistant coating on the packcloth faces the Cordura layer, thereby protecting the coating from boot abrasion and insuring a much longer life for these gaiters. A 2in-wide hook-and-loop front closure offers enough range to accommodate leather and plastic boots as well as light or heavy insulating layers.
Bottom Line: Often imitated, never bettered, the Crocodile will give you confidence to hike through any conditions.

Not necessarily. If you are a medium shoe-sized person, a medium will probably fit fine, etc. However, for smaller/larger shoes, get a smaller/larger gaiter. For example, I wear a small gaiter with my running shoes (not this gaiter, a different Outdoor Research gaiter) and an XL with my big enormous plastic boots.
