Outdoor Research: Flex-Tex Low Gaiter - 9 Reviews

Worked great! I bought these to wear during a 50K trail run with mud, water, and snow. They were extremely comfortable - my friend purchased the Mountain Hardwear gaiters and had to wear tall hiking socks to prevent rubbing of the top of the gaiter on her leg. I did not have this problem at all. These stayed up well and did not rub uncomfortably. They are not waterproof, but highly resistant as my feet were submerged briefly a few times, and unless you are standing in the water, the gaiters keep the water out. Also, I didn't get dirt or rocks in my shoes which has been a problem on this run in the past. I had to change my shoes midrace, and the ease with which these go on made it wonderful. I wore the gaiters the entire time, and they were never uncomfortable or too hot. The only thing I could see them not being great for is if you are running in constant snow that is higher than the gaiter - I had a little snow sneak in. :)

Do what I want but... These gaiters do exactly what I want. They are light weight, fit well, keep dirt and rocks out, my socks stay a little cleaner on those dusty trails during the late summer months. But... after two trips I pulled one of the snaps out. OR replaced it no charge but there are a few durability issues with these gaiters. Haven't put the new ones to the test yet.

Is this Handy? - Yes - No

Awesome! These gaiters are amazing. I have had mine for 9 years and no problems. They are streamlined and have a snug fit. I don't wear my boots without them!!
