The Backpacker Gear Hall of Fame Winner!

Fondly nicknamed the “Crocs,” these gaiters have been around forever and are still used around the world today. Their fitted design keeps snow, rocks, and debris out of your socks and shoes as you’re traveling through harsh environments. Waterproof, windproof, breathable fabric will keep you comfortable even in the most inclement weather, and triple-bartacked BioThane® webbing and abrasion-resistant Cordura® components provide long-lasting durability. Secure these gaiters to your hiking boots, 3-season mountaineering boots, or double-shell plastic boots with the reinforced boot lace hooks and instep strap and enjoy distraction-free hiking and climbing.

Fit Note! We recommend sizing down one full size for best fit with lightweight hiking boots, shoes or trail runners.
