Nice slim fit

By kiwi J from San Francisco, CA on 12/27/2006

Comfort:

Breathes Well

Sizing:

Feels full size too small

Width:

Feels true to width

Slim fit is great for not catching crampons. Sizing is on the small side, so make sure they fit over plastic boots if needed.

The strap on mine has now worn through - it is not designed to be used off the snow on rock and is not easily replaceable.

gaiters

By josh

from mpls mn on 2/5/2006

Pros:

Compact, Lightweight, Tough

Best Uses:

Hiking, postholing

spent 9 days bushwaking and ice climbing in the canadian rockies. The velcro is in the back of the calf, helping it to not get ice up as easilly wich is the failing point of my last pair. Downside, theres a metal hook to help keeps the velcro joint together, this hook is right where my crampon heel clip snaps onto my boot which if caught behind clip rubbed on my heel when front pointing.
