Good gaiters, prefer the higher ones for thick brush.

These gaiter attach well to your shoes, but I have to constantly pull up on them to get them to stay around my lower calf. I would have preferred some type of adjustment on the leg opening. Other than that they keep rocks and dirt out of my shoes when I'm trail running.

Not Fit For Purpose

The elastic band inside the gator is too flimsy. One my first trip, one broke while I was putting the gator on my boot and the second also broke during my first hike.

Great Summer Gator.

I used these hiking in the sandhills. Lots of prickly burs. They shed water as well as the prickly burs quite well. Well made and easy to put on and take off. I like the small amount of stretch in the material. These are a good all around summer gator. They also don't take up a lot of space so you can bring them with you 'just incase'. I would recommend them for anyone.

Great Gaiters

Really durable gaters. The rubber band under the gater broke but I used them on a 24h long volcanic hike. I wish I could get a new rubber

They Work

They are a little difficult to put on and take off but they work good once on. They have kept rocks, seeds, sand and other debris out of my shoes and off my socks on my last two cross-country hikes. They stay up fine and I have not needed velcro to keep them in place on my shoes.

Perfect Minimalst Gaiters For Trail Running

These are perfect for trail running, especially with shoes that have velcro in the back. I find that the mid strap is not needed when the velcro and hook is in use, but I love that the strap is an option. These are tall enough to protect the ankles during trail running but light for fast runs. There is a minimalist brand of gaiters popular with trail runners -- these are like them but more coverage, and more versatile with the strap and adjustment options. My only nitpick would be that the solid black version looks great, but the multi-colored options are not for me.

So Far, They Are Great

Have only run once with these, but it was 7 trail miles in 12" of fresh snow, and they functioned perfectly. I did choose to put them on the shoe first which wasn't really a big deal. Reading about the durability of strap is worrisome but so far they are great. They must fit small because I was gifted these from someone that bought for their hiking boots, I use with runners.

Or Ferrosi Gaiters

Great job keeping rocks/dirt out of the shoes. The buckle system is slightly difficult to undue when removing but otherwise do a great job staying in place, really like the velcro addition to the rear for keeping them attached to my shoes

Not Sure Yet If They Are Worth It

These are smaller than they look in the picture - meaning they are light, but also a bit awkward to get on over shoes. Work well to keep sticks out of shoes. We haven't had any rain in ages, so don't know about water resistance...

Love!

Quick to put on does exactly what you want. I prefer the shorter ones for sure! Just enough coverage to keep rocks out of the shoes

Could Have Been Great

These almost made it. Compared to the super UL gaiters OR made +5 years ago...these can't compare. Looking at these on their own, I like the ankle elastic. The light colored fabric in the front dirt stained with the first use. The understrap worked well in the scree and rocks, but was almost impossible to get off at the end of the day. Now I know why so many people broke the cording- they had to to get their shoes off. The overdone hook that "locks" onto the cord is totally unnecessary, I had to turn into a contortionist to flip it totally on its side just to unhook it. There is no getting your shoe off until that strap comes off! O/R needs to change the velcro to have the hook side on the fabric! Guy's, with the hook side on the shoe it will fill up with debri and dirt and not function (didn't anyone test this?). I "fixed" my pair. All my shoes have the "soft" patch on them and I have never had a problem that way. The O/R way, everyone has a problem with them. All in All, after having to file down the hooks to make them useable and reversing the velcro these will work just fine, but why should I have to remake them when it would have been so easy to start with?

I wish I liked these more, but they broke on my first use! They didn't stay in place very well and overall were not a good buy for me.

Did Not Meet My Expectations

I love the ferrosi fabric I own the shorts the problem with the gaiters is they have to be put on before you put on your shoes and you can't remove them until you take off your shoes not very convenient

Nope

Broke during 2nd use. Not sure what these are designed for?
