FrontPoint GTX Gaiter

Solid Gaiters

My haters have taken all the abuse I have thrown at them for years. They are awesome I am happy enough I bought another set as a gift. I bought them for snow use - but they are rugged enough for use on sceei fields in summer.

Awesome—

Using these for snowshoeing in deep powder primarily. They’re perfect - like everything from BD… 🙏🏽

Well Built, but short.

I really liked these gaiters, but they reached maybe half way up my calf... maybe. My daughter who is 15 and 5" 8" tried them on as well, and they reached exactly half way up. I don't know how these gaiters would stay up being so short. They shock cord top closure definitely does not help either, and I could see that cord quickly wearing out. The bottom of the gaiter seems to be made for tall boots, as I feared they would not snug up to my Asolo 520 GVs very tight. I liked the slim cut on these, but I could see them getting very tight over winter layers. I hoped for something better than my ORs, but these are not the ones... for me.

Guide Gaiters

I am a winter adventure guide. I used these gaiters probably over 50 days this year in several feet of snow. The arch strap has held up even with trekking through tough terrain, and the Velcro is still strong. I can be tough on my gear, but these have held up well and still look professional enough to guide. Highly recommend these to anyone.

Solid piece of gear

There is nothing better than having gear that you strap on and don’t have to worry about it doing it’s job or not. I just got back from using these in 3+ feet of powder in the Maroon Bells, CO without a single snowflake finding its way to my legs. I highly recommend these for any snowy activity.

I should have bought these sooner!

I would see other searchers staying dry and comfortable in these while I was soaked and getting snagged by blackberry thorns and devils club searching for people or evidence. I first borrowed a pair of these for a summit of Mt Adam's recently and when a huge wind storm of 70+ mile an hour winds hit. Ash and smoke, from a nearby huge wildfire, sand and debris blasted my group. The gators kept the debris out of my boots and protected my legs from flying debris and from the rocks I was scrambling down blindly since my eyes were full of grit. I know most of my team depends on them in rain and other gnarly conditions as well. I finally bought my own pair and feel better knowing I have them for the PNW conditions. My feet will stay dry and my legs unscathed. Lesson learned.

Stands up to tough conditions

These gaiters will last for years! Quality construction and design you expect from Black Diamond.

Gaiters make awesome tan lines

Climbing is a wild sport! So take some gear you can count on, these gaiters are tough, don't slip around while wearing them, help your legs stay clear of snow or a snagged crampon. So snag a pair today ps wear sunscreen

Gators

They are way to tight! I’m 5’9 180lbs and bought a large. I let my girlfriend try them on and she’s 5’3” 125lb and they might fit over her ski boots

Comfortable and Good Fit

Bought this product recently and was able to use within the week of purchase. A friend hiking with me liked them so much when he tried them on that he purchased himself a pair
