Outdoor Research Rocky Mountain Low Gaiter

Not Comfortable

By Ranked #23 - Women's Trail Running Footwear December 1, 2011

I like the idea of a low gaiter to keep scree and snow out of the ankles, and these served the purpose just fine. My biggest complaint is that the elastic on the top is extremely tight, so much so that it leaves marks on my legs after I hike, even over socks. And it's not because I have giant calves! Also, I find that the fabric is much baggier around the ankles than what the pictures shows. Bottom line, I used these for a few months and ended up replacing them with the OR Flex-Tex Gaiter, which while not waterproof, worked much better for me.
