Outdoor Research Women's Rocky Mountain High Gaiters

Purchased these for my trek up Kilimanjaro... And waited until after my trip to give a review.These are my very first pair of gaiters and these were very high quality. They have a large Velcro strip that you use to put them on over your pants and a small hook to hook them to your shoelace. I didn't know how to put them on but a quick YouTube search showed me how.They stood the test during my hike and they kept all of the dirt off my pants. The straps that go under the boot are made with leather and felt very secure while walking.To clean, I threw them in the washer with cold water and laid them out to dry. Great buy and will last a long time.

Bought these for use on the muddy (and usually rainy, but we got lucky) West Coast Trail. Kept my feet completely dry. A couple of times i stepped in water over my ankle and no water got in my boots at all. They also kept all the mud off my pants. I debated between these and the OR Crocodile gaiters (more expensive, more waterproof), but after using these I would say they are MORE than adequate. I love them and wish I had bought them sooner. I haven't tried them in snow but after stepping in deep water and keeping dry I would think these would work in snow as well.

I bought these for an early September trip to Iceland and cannot express how perfect they were for the unpredictable conditions (rainy for 1 hour, sunny for 1 hour, rainy for 20 minutes, sunny for 20 minutes, etc.). With some finagling they fit well over my ankle-supporting hiking boots and kept everything below the knees dry without me overheating as with full-on rain pants. Once I found the fit they were very easy to put on / take off in less than 5 minutes if the weather changed, and were very easy to store even when wet.Only complaints are that I wish the bottom strap was a bit longer (the one that runs underneath the boot)- it took quite a bit of effort to find the right fit to get them to fit low around the boot, and I feel that could be easily rectified with a longer strap that allows them to sit higher. They also tended to slouch down a bit over the course of the day - didn't bother me too much and they still suited the purpose, though some of my photos looked a bit uneven if I didn't spend the time to readjust them prior.

I enjoy wintertime hiking, but going off-trail is usually a problem because of the unpredictable snow depths. I didn't want the bulk of a snowpant, and I didn't have the budget for ski/snowboarding pants. I had never really thought to use gaiters, but my sister recommended them, and they ended up fitting my needs and budget perfectly! I was a little nervous to try because the front closure is all Velcro, but to my surprise, it's an excellent seal. When I go off trail, I've been in snow above my knees, but none of the snow got inside. The material is sturdy, and provide another layer of warmth on your calves, as well as protection from the elements and brush/branches, when you're off-trail. They have a hook at the top of the foot for boots that have gaiter eyelets, and the bottom strap is long enough to accomodate my YakTrax, as well. The bottoms are sinched by a very tight-yet-flexible elastic band, and the top is sinched by an adjustible toggle buckle. I'm super impressed. I wear ankle boots, hiking socks, a base layer, and cotton lined athletic pants, and they fit perfectly, so there'd be room to wear something bulkier like jeans or mid-calf trail/hiking boots, or even streamlined snowboots. As far as I'm concerned, they paid for themselves my very first time wearing them! LOVE!

Love this brand. Never had a problem. They work. They're comfortable. The straps are sturdy.

Perfect hike starts to finishes. Winter through wet spring, worked exactly as expected. Easy on & off. Waterproof. Great fit. I'd buy these again... but they look like they'll last for a LONG time. Thank you!

I bought these for a friend for her birthday and she loves them I’ve had a pair and use them all the time to hike and snowshoe

These gaiters are perfect for the outdoors. I use them hiking and cross-country skiing and they work wonderfully. I was happy to replace my old 30+ year gaiters that had the back velcro closing with these pair that have the front velcro closing. They are just a tad tall for short little old me but they are waterproof and secure which is all I need.

Exactement ce que je voulais... Cadeau, j'espère que la pointure sera la bonne !

Performance was great during my hike in very mudding terrain. Washed nicely in the machine. Lost a star because the tightener straps sometimes came loose at the top. It's easy and quick to fix, but wish there was a way to lock it down.
