    Outdoor Research Rocky Mountain High Gaiter (Packcloth)
    Designed for summer hiking and cross-country skiing, this lightweight Rocky Mountain High Gaiter features an easy-access Velcro closure in front with variations of an uncoated and coated 8 oz. packcloth fabric design. It's best suited for dry weather hiking through muddy terrain or anyplace where the mud, snow or wet grass doesn't extend much higher than your ankles. Lightweight nylon instep lace provided.

    Outdoor Research Caiman Gaiter
    More than a clever name, the Outdoor Research Caiman Gaiters offer a reduced weight design without compromising waterproof, breathable performance of quality Gore-Tex fabric. A lighter, unlined version of 500-denier Cordura fabric in the foot section helps cut the weight by 30%. The same nylon-supported rubber instep design found on the Crocodile is utilized to maintain exceptional durability.

    The North Face Scree Gaiter II
    Pebbles. Grit. Cinders. Beauty bark. Ouch. For all the ounces you might try to lose while running, your trail running shoes seem to pick up the extra weight. It might not seem too bad over the first mile or two, but then those minute bits of rock work their way down inside your shoes, impregnating your socks, nipping at your tender arches and wearing away the flesh between your toes. Yuck. The North Face Scree Gaiter II helps keep the trail out of the inside of your shoes, but it doesn't weigh as much or limit your mobility like full-length hiking gaiters. Specifically designed for The North Face Ultra 102 and Ultra GTX running shoes, it features secure hook attachments and a profile that neatly conforms to the natural contours of your ankles. The mesh body fabric enhances airflow better than most traditional canvas or waterproof/breathable gaiter designs. Hit your personal best in trail running comfort today.

    Mountain Hardwear Ascent Ventigaiter
    Enhance your comfort on hot hikes and sunny climbing ascents with the patented mesh panels on the Mountain Hardwear Ascent Ventigaiter. It features a special roll-back fabric panel that covers a mesh panel for unsurpassed ventilation. The upper fabric contains a waterproof and breathable triple-ply Conduit laminate made from hydrophilic and hydrophobic molecules that draw moisture away from your boots and socks. The remarkable performance aspect of Conduit is that it accelerates the transfer process as you continue to perspire, keeping you drier and more comfortable than other waterproof and breathable laminates. At the bottom of the gaiter is a replaceable instep strap that can easily be replaced in the field without using special tools.
    Sku: OM1194

    Mountain Hardwear Ascent Gaiter (non-vented)
    The waterproof Ascent Gaiter might not have the patented mesh panel found on the Ascent Ventigaiter, but it doesn't have the extra ounces either. It features a waterproof and breathable triple-ply Conduit laminate made from hydrophilic and hydrophobic molecules that draw moisture away from your boots and socks. The remarkable performance aspect of Conduit is that it accelerates the transfer process as you continue to perspire, keeping you drier and more comfortable than other waterproof and breathable laminates. At the bottom of the gaiter is a replaceable instep strap that can easily be replaced in the field without using special tools.

    Mountain Hardwear Nut Shell High Gaiter (non-vented)
    The lightweight and durable Mountain Hardwear Nut Shell High Gaiter is an affordable solution for climbers and hikers on a budget. It features the same coverage and closure features as heavier tech gaiters that sell for twice the price. The urethane coated packcloth minimizes water penetration and the stay-put lace hook keeps this fuss-free gaiter comfortably centered over your boot for countless miles.
    Sku: OM1198

    Mountain Hardwear Trail Gaiter
    Specifically cut for trail runners and hikers, the Mountain Hardwear Trail Gaiter is a low-slung gaiter that delivers full upper protection at half the weight of conventional designs. Mountain Hardwear replaced the conventional packcloth gaiter coverage with a streamlined stretch nylon oxford material that fits closer to your running shoe or light hiking boot so there's no excess fabric to flop around whenever you pick up the pace. A single-hand adjustment hook allows for quick fixes that won't ruin your personal best.

    Outdoor Research Women's Rocky Gaiter
    The Women's Rocky Gaiter is a carbon copy of the popular Outdoor Research Rocky Mountain High Gaiter with the exception of the sizing changes specifically fitted for a woman. An uncoated packcloth leg section provides exceptional vapor transport and protection, while a coated-packcloth lower section keeps water and snow out of your boots. 1"-wide Velcro front closures with snap and riveted lace hooks make them a breeze to get on and off. Buckled nylon straps secure the tops, while field-replaceable instep cords hold the elasticized bottom edges snugly around your boots. All in all, these are great all-around gaiters.

    Mountain Hardwear Women's Ascent Ventigaiters
    Designed with flexible features for long-haul expeditions and mountaineering adventures, the waterproof and highly breathable Mountain Hardware Women's Ascent Ventigaiters offer a female-specific fit that hugs the contours of your lower legs fall better than the flapping fabric found on some unisex gaiter offerings. Roll back the side entry Velcro closure and you'll find a mesh lining that expedites vapor transfer from your upper boot in warm alpine conditions. A one-hand cinch drawcord closure along the top ensures a comfortable custom fit that keeps mud, rain and slush in its place.
    Sku: OL1433

Convenient side grommet holes and forward lace hooks lock the Ventigaiters securely in place over almost any hiking or climbing shoe and boot. This size is proportionately female specific, with added volume where you need it and none of the flapping fabric found on some unisex gaiter offerings. If you're looking for a female-specific gaiter with a little more breathable transfer and full waterproof protection, click over to Mountain Hardwear's Women's Ascent Ventigaiters.
    Sku: OL1434

    Mountain Hardwear Nut Shell Ventigaiter
    Keep mud, rain and slush in their place of origin while hiking, backpacking and climbing in these lightweight Mountain Hardwear Nut Shell Ventigaiters.

    Outdoor Research Flex-Tex Low Gaiter
    Excellent for day hikes on damp days and cross-country ski shoes during snowy dumps, these Outdoor Research Flex-Tex Low Gaiters feature a Spandura fabric that stretches to mold over your boot and shoe contours. A 1-in. wide Velcro closure in front helps keep everything attached although you can use the boot lace hook to minimize tight-fit tension. The included nylon instep laces withstand plenty of wear through several seasons.
    Sku: 61055001

    Outdoor Research Verglas Gaiter
    Extended hikes and climbs always feel better when there isn't mud, rain, snow and grit seeping down into the cuffs of your boots. The waterproof and durable Outdoor Research Verglas Gaiters help keep the uncomfortable stuff out with a rugged and lightweight three-ply Ventia upper fabric upper durably connected to a waterproof Cordura nylon lower fabric. Outdoor Research carefully curved and shaped the Cordura nylon around your boot for improved ventilation and a trail-worthy profile that won't flop or fall apart like some improperly sized gaiters. Verglas Gaiters are built for the long haul--especially in places where reckoning is your only guide.
    Sku: 61610211

    Outdoor Research Rocky Mountain Low Gaiter
    Excellent for hiking in short dewy scrub and cross-country skiing in low powder snow, Outdoor Research Rocky Mountain Low Gaiters feature a lightweight profile that can please the most discerning minimalist backpacker. The basic and elegant design consists of uncoated 8-oz. packcloth joined by a one-inch wide Velcro closure in front. Elastic edges around the bottom and top improve the fit around your boots or trail running shoes. Outdoor Research Rocky Mountain Low Gaiters fold down to a small package that practically fits in any pack pocket, although the lightweight design can make them tough to find if you stow them in varied locations throughout your backcountry adventure.
    Sku: 61005200

    Outdoor Research Women's Verglas Gaiter
    Cover ground quickly in the backcountry, cruise on skis, kick steps up a snowfinger, or blast through a long bushwhack approach; this gaiter is designed to move fast and carry light. An ultralight, waterproof/breathable, 3-layer Ventia leg section, matched with a coated 500D Cordura boot section makes this gaiter a more pack-friendly alternative to the Crocodiles. The asymetrically cut boot section provides a secure fit with leather hiking boots or plastic mountaineering boots. A nylon-supported rubber instep strap keeps the gaiter flush with your boot, sealing out snow. The 1 1/2-inch wide hook and loop front closure can be offset to make room for insulated pants.

    Outdoor Research Crocodiles
    The original do-it-all gaiter of mountaineers, backcountry skiers, and off-trail adventurers, Crocodile are designed to handle anything. Durable Taslan Gore-Tex leg sections resist Devil’s Club and keep snow out. The 1000D Cordura boot section, lined with coated 8 oz. packcloth, stands up to ski edges, crampon snags, and general boot wear. The water-resistant coating on the packcloth is sewn to face the Cordura® layer, protecting the coating from boot abrasion. The hook and loop front closure is sewn with sturdy double-needle stitching. A shear tab prevents the front closure from separating at the bottom. The urethane coated nylon instep strap can be replaced on the trail without tools.
    Sku: 61570001

    Outdoor Research Sidecut Gaiters
    The breathable/waterproof Schoeller WB-Formula fabric of the Sidecut Gaiters will keep your feet dry as you ski down the slopes or across the countryside. The Velcro and buckle top closure of this gaiter stop water from running into the boots down your leg while the elastic seals around the boot. There is even a webbing loop to slide over the ratchet strap on your ski boot to ensure water will not enter from the bottom. If the thought of skiing gives you cold feet, keep in mind there is a cure for that.
    Sku: 61580001

    Outdoor Research Exos Gaiter
    This gaiter was designed with the serious hiker and backpacker in mind. The urethane coated nylon instep strap of the Exos Gaiters can be replaced on the fly if it needs to be. But that need is likely not to arise due to the ruggedness of this gaiter. The stretch Schoeller WB-Formula fabric will hold up through almost anything and the stretch Cordura lining is just as resilient. When you go up the side of a mountain, you should have confidence in your equipment. The Exos Gaiters will give you that confidence.
    Sku: 61560001

    Outdoor Research Expedition Crocodiles
    While Outdoor Research Crocodiles are already seasoned expedition veterans, these Expedition Crocodiles were specially made for extended use with bombproof triple-ply Gore-Tex fabric and 1000-denier Cordura along the top of the boot.
    Sku: 61540541

    Outdoor Research Women's Crocodile Gaiter
    Down to the tiniest detail Crocodile Gaiters have everything that made Outdoor Research Crocodiles the premier gaiters for hiking and climbing for so many years. They're fitted gaiters, but the size is adjustable via the 2"-wide Velcro front opening. The uppers are Taslan Gore-Tex, and the tough Cordura lower part is lined with the packcloth that most gaiters are made of! The strap-and-buckle top closure is very comfortable and is bomber secure when postholing. A double-riveted lace hook and a burly nylon-supported instep strap keep the gaiters firmly attached. We're totally confident that there is no other gaiter anywhere as tough, durable, and easy to use.

    Outdoor Research Cascadia Gaiters
    If there is a company that specializes in gaiter design, it might be Outdoor Research. Some staff members here have owned Outdoor Research gaiters throughout their entire hiking life. So it makes sense when Outdoor Research creates specific gaiter designs for specific applications, like this Cascadia Gaiter. Weighing in at nearly half the weight of the award-winning Expedition Crocodile Gaiters, the Cascadia is a two-ply waterproof, breathable gaiter design intended for hiking, backpacking and cross-country skiing. Outdoor Research wrapped the Gore-Tex PacLite fabric around the leg area for comfort and then used rugged coated packcloth throughout the boot area where vapor transfer needs are not a factor. By placing the right textiles in the right spots, Outdoor Research significantly reduced the overall weight. A durable, nylon-supported rubber instep strap and hook-and-loop attachment keeps the Cascadia firmly attached to your hiking and backpacking boots. If you need a gaiter for mountaineering in subzero conditions, the Cascadia isn't your gaiter, but if you cover trail throughout the year, this is a gaiter in stride with your outdoor lifestyle.
