Strongest strap- and I use UNDER shell or pant leg...

Crocs are a made with tougher materials than some competitors use, but in my opinion the extra weight is worth the supreme durability of this gaiter- especially the strap. It has the most durable- and replaceable- strap I've used. Any strap will eventually wear out and break if used enough, so if you get gaiters without a replaceable strap you'll eventually have to get one sewn on- which sucks. Crocs seem to be sized really big- I assume to fit over pants and shells. However, I get mine a size smaller and wear them UNDER my shell pants- not over. I use this technique for all conditions- even deep, soft, powder snow. By wearing them under the shell, the top of the gaiter is not required to be cinched shut (most of the time)so your calves will breathe much better without materials bunched up underneath, and they still won't get snow or debris inside.
