I’ve become a big believer in gaiters, so to me they’re an essential item. I was a long holdout, but after finally purchasing a pair I realized just how lightweight they are and how easy it is to take them off and on. We seem to find ourselves hiking around a lot of snow, but we also learned they’re great for hiking in sand. We just got back from Indiana Dunes and the gaiters worked great in that terrain!

Thanks again,
Andrew Laker
