Don't fit

Can't get the large size on over size 11 mid hiking boots. Have to put on before boots. Will return them

Super light weight

Get the gore Tex ones if you're using them for anything other than summer hiking.

Not a bad buy for the weekend hiker

I loved the idea of these. The attachments are easy to work but the gaiters themselves are not what I came to expect. I find the fit a little tight and there are not many adjustments to maintain the tension as the fabric stretches out. These are not for the intense outdoor hiker. The slip-on feature was what made me give them a shot. I like them for short hikes less than about 6 miles. I have hiked about 80 miles in these but I question how they will hold up on the trail. I have a section hike coming up so I will update my comments after some serious Sierra trail conditions.

Good product with one con

I used these gaiters on Te Araroa. It has a good breathable material and I felt it comfortable. Just the ties down below the sole were wearing out very fast: they were broken after one week on the trail. It would be good to make this straps in light metal or something similar.

I would buy these gaiters again and recommend them

I bought these gaiters for hiking/backpacking as I couldn't find any others that offered the same level of attachments. Most others were only a friction fit with a front lace hook. These have the double hook and bottom strap under my boots. I have used them a number of times and found they work great. They stay in place and keep my boots free of any debris which is what I bought them for. OR needs to offer them along with their other gaiters as these are the best for a light weight summer gaiter that works great.

Keep twigs and pebbles out of your boots!

Great lightweight gaiters for bushwhacking -- keeps the twigs and pebbles out of your boots, and so lightweight and cool that it doesn't even feel like you're wearing gaiters. Cool enough for summer use.

Good gaiter, but need to remove shoe to get on.

I haven't tested them on snow hikes, but they are a comfortable fabric and look to be solid to hold in place with the strap under the shoe and two hooks for the laces. One bad thing is I have to remove my shoe to get the gaiter on and off which will be annoying if I'm trying to use the gaiter only when necessary. Hopefully the fabric breathes well enough that I don't mind wearing the gaiters for longer stretches of time. A lack of cinching around my ankle will likely allow the gaithers to slide down, but they should still perform their purpose ... keeping snow adn debris out of my shoes.
