Review on Outdoor Waterproof Gaiters Resistant Climbing by Charles Lardieri

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Would have given 5 stars if it wasn't for the cheap zipper.

Bought for snowshoeing in the mountains of New Hampshire. When they arrived they tried on the leg warmers, they fit very well. Packed them up, took them to the mountains. I pulled on my gear to start my hike and the zipper on my left gaiter just unzipped. The metal was completely destroyed so I'm not sure what cheap material was used, but it was unusual in that it bent easily. The zipper on the right gaiter was no problem. Luckily each gaiter has a snap and Velcro closure at the bottom so both gaiters stay on throughout the hike; I was just lucky the weather wasn't bad otherwise the velcro alone wouldn't be enough to keep my feet dry. In general, the material on it is really excellent and fits well. Unfortunately, the zipper broke almost immediately, reducing a 5 star rating to two.

Pros
  • Gaiters
Cons
  • Hardware
