Born out of necessity during wet and muddy Midwest gravel races, our Gravel Gaiter keeps mud, sand and gravel out of your shoesWe took inspiration from the scree gaiters used by trail runners to develop a cycling-specific version that provides maximum breathability and durability so you can ride through the worst conditionsA locking zipper keeps the Gravel Gaiter securely in place and the Hypalon midfoot strap won't get in the way during treacherous hike-a-bike sections.
