Fondly nicknamed the Crocs, the Outdoor Research Mens Crocodile Gaiters have been around forever and are still used around the world today. Their fitted design keeps snow, rocks, and debris out of your socks and shoes as youre traveling through harsh environments. The waterproof, windproof, breathable fabric will keep you comfortable even in the most inclement weather, and triple-bartacked BioThane webbing and abrasion-resistant Cordura components provide long-lasting durability. Secure these gaiters to your hiking boots, 3-season mountaineering boots, or double-shell plastic boots with the reinforced boot lace hooks and an instep strap, and enjoy distraction-free hiking and climbing. Fit Note! Outdoor Research recommends sizing down one full size for the best fit with lightweight hiking boots, shoes, or trail runners. When wearing your gaiters properly, the instep strap buckle should lie on the side of your shoe, not underneath.
