Gets the job done
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I used these gaiters for the first time today, post-holing up a mountain for 5 miles...and they worked great! The design is simple and clean, easy to use, and works well enough. I wear a size 7 shoe and am between sizes, so I ordered a medium thinking it would be good if a friend with bigger feet ever wanted to borrow them. After several hours of hiking, I started to get some snow in my boots, making me wish I would've bought the size small, as this likely would'nt have been an issue if I had sized down. If only the bottom of the gaiters were more adjustable to various shoe sizes....other than that I LOVE them!
Mackenzie EKept my feet dry and stay up perfectly
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have worn Outdoor Research gaiters for years and these are great for keeping out the rain while backpacking. I am 5'5" and the Medium come up to just below my knees. My calves are not particularly big and these always stay up without a problem.
HarrietThe Good and Bad
The water proofing of these haters are great. The function it provides I give it 4 stars, my feet have stayed dry snowshoeing though deep snow for many miles. Now for the bad; the fit of the gaiters is off. I'm only 5.4 and the gaiter only comes up to my mid calf. In the photo it appears that it will come up to your knee, this is not the case. I was so sad that everything else about

These gaiters are easy to adjust to get a perfect snug fit that will stay secure. How dare we say they are comfortable but in all truth these gaiters will make your powder trudging a lot easier. Give me a shout if you want to talk gaiters or powder trudging.

Eric WatfordGearheadMaterial Comparison
On the left is OR Verglas gaiters with the SUPER WATERPROOF Pertex Shield & on the right is the OR Rocky Mtn. Gaiters with their water resistant material. HUGE difference. The Verglas Gaiters are built to last & keep you dry!
Anthony and Ashley SouthVerglas vs. The Rocky Mtn. Gaiter
The Hypalon instep strap on both gaiters are made well but the Verglas has a significantly stronger attachment of the strap to the Gaiter itself. The Verglas is on the left & the Rocky Mtn. is on the right.
Anthony and Ashley SouthWife LOVES them!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
My wife has used these gaiters hard for a long time now & they look almost brand new. They breath well & hold out any bit of moisture that tries to get in. A wonderful Gaiter at an awesome price!
Anthony and Ashley SouthWhat are heights of the Gaiters -- medium & large size? Also the same question for the men's version.
Thank you
marilou Marilou, I am sorry, I do not have those measurements. Are you trying to find out sizing?
Leta OR Rep
Leta KalfasVendor RepIf you're right between M/L sizing, would you recommend sizing up or down?
Thanks
Jocelyn O.Hi there, Leta from Outdoor Research here. Thanks for the question, I think its one that many wonder about. I consulted with the Product design manager for this product at OR, so you are in good hands! The question I have is about what boot you are using and how large is your calf? Do you think you have large calves? Thinner calves? Is your boot a bigger mountaineering boot or smaller? These will help you make the right choice.
Bottom line, even if you realize you got the wrong size, these folks at Backcountry will take good care of you to switch it out!
I'm here if you have any more questions. Please don't hesitate to ask!
Leta KalfasVendor RepAny idea if you will get the Orchid - Size L back in stock or are these on their way out?
Mark RHey Mark,
Looks like we will be getting the Orchid color in size Large. It might not be till the end of February though. I am going to look in to it more and get back to you. Let's get in touch and if you still need gaiters we can find you some.
