Good gear.

My experience with gaiters is well, near to none, but I got these for a A.T. trip and for other backpacking trips. They are very light weight, thin on the part on your leg and thicker around the boot. They are easy to put on and take off. I look forward to field testing them. I think if you do the research like I did you'll find these to be a great value.

The only thing I can think of one might not like is that if you tighten down the straps around the top of the gaiter and keep them closed...your legs will sweat like crazy...and the problem then becomes your socks, shoes are soaked cause you've locked a lot of moisture in there. So to remedy this, when it's not necessary to keep them all the way closed up, I opened the velcro most of the way down so there was airflow. Problem solved.
