These are very solid gators but the sizing range seems limited compared to my previous brand. I chose the size according to the sizing chart but the gators still seem too large with no option to snug the bottom and lace hook. That said, they mostly stayed in place over a rugged three day hike. The material seems durable enough to resist most branch and thorn penetration.

I spend about 80 days in the backcountry of Montana and have tried almost all gaiters on the market. These are by far the best I have used. They are easy to put on and take off, have a great fit and prevent water from getting in your boots. These gaiters are well designed and worth the money.

I'm currently working in the interior of Alaska. I used the size cart to purchase these. Great product but they run large.

First impression is of how extremely durable they are built but that is coupled with a fear of how long it will take to break in. Considering how stiff and rigid these felt out of the box I could not believe how well they fell into shape once I put it on. I have yet to test the waterproofing. I no worries that these will survive abuse from crampons, sharp rocks, etc.

Excellent heavy-duty gaiters. These fit better over my mountaineering boots than the regular Crocs or the Verglas gaiters (both excellent). However note that these would be too big for regular winter boots, these should be considered strictly for mountaineering boots only. I've only used this a few times so far, but I have not yet managed to make a hold in them with crampons. It will probably happen eventually, but the extended coverage with 1,000 denier cordura on the full inside leg should take more abuse than other gaiters. On my last climbing trip I snagged a crampon at least once (though not badly) on the gaiter and it barely left a mark.

When logging miles in rugged terrain these are my go to gaiter. They are the toughest I've found to date. They aren't indestructible - but as close as you'll find. The underfoot strap wears and will break. The buckles will tear from the reinforcement patch which they are attached to the gaiter and the seams and gaiter bottoms will fray from prolonged use - but other gaiters put through the same conditions would fare far worse.

Outstanding product for off trail and overgrown trails. Material is very durable and breathable. Great protection for my boots and legs/pants during search and rescue missions and personal adventures.
