Review on Rocky Mountain Low Gaiters by Outdoor Research by Richard Summerall

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A smaller size may work better.

Disclaimer: I've only worn them on two hikes. But so far they are exactly what I needed. I'm 6ft 2in, wear size 12 hiking shoes (no boots) and was annoyed with stickers, spikes and brushes getting on my socks and shoes while hiking. "Petrified Forest" when I saw that I had a phone signal I immediately ordered them. Due to my height I was tempted to order larger ones. But so many reviewers recommended the S/M size that I ordered a size down. They are ideal for debris protection. my shoes and my socks. I'm a bit worried about how the strap will hold up under the shoe as I mostly hike on uneven and rocky surfaces these days. As long as they look good. For now I am very happy with my purchase.

Pros
  • Top marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Minority
