Review on πŸ‘Ÿ Outdoor Research Ferrosi Thru Gaiters: Ultimate durability and weather resistance for flexible shoe protection by Timothy Weems

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect for dry hiking!

I used them to climb Mount St Helens (I'm wearing burgundy leggings). The final leg of the hike wades through loose ash, gravel, and pumice. There wasn't a grain of stone at the toe of my boot! They are thin and light so they breathe very well. The material seems durable although I haven't tried them in vegetation yet. They're great with low walking boots, but I'm not sure how they'll work with tall boots as they only fit mid-calf. Where it is easy to put on, cold fingers make it difficult to put on and thick gloves would be impossible. Not recommended for driving over sharp rocks such as boulders. All of this to say I bought them to keep dust and grit off my low top boots while keeping me cool and they have worked great. I highly recommend them!
