Find LocallyQuagmire™ eVent® Gaiters are tough, durable and breathable. The heavy-duty eVent® upper allows moisture vapor to escape, while the 1000D Cordura foot section provides all the durability you need in the backcountry. The 2-inch / 50mm wide hook and loop fastener will protect your shins when you are walking off-trail. Rugged hardware and the strongest foot strap in the known universe round off this top-of-the-line gaiter.

Is the Quagmire eVent Gaiter...
-
Really Rugged? Yes. It’s Southern Alps of New Zealand / Ducane Range Tasmania rugged. If you need something a little lighter, look at the Alpine eVent Gaiter.
-
Breathable? Yes! The eVent laminate allows moisture vapor to pass through, while preventing external water from getting into the gaiter. Perfect for those occasions when you’re working hard in the backcountry.
-
Fitted with a replaceable foot strap? Yes. The gaiter is secured underfoot using a Hypalon strap – if it should ever wear through, it can easily be replaced with the Gaiter Strap, which is almost indestructible. Read the blog How to Replace the Straps on Your Alpine or Quagmire Gaiter.
Technical Features
eVent™ Fabric
eVent™ fabric is an air-permeable, waterproof laminate used in two different functional areas in Sea to Summit products:
In the base of our best-selling eVent Compression Dry Sacks, Evac Dry Sacks and Ultra-Sil™ Compression Dry Sacks. In this application, the laminate utilizes a 40 denier nylon face fabric: the material allows air to be pushed out of the dry sack/compression dry sack but prevents water from entering. This means you can compress the air out of a dry sack without needing a purge valve!.
In the upper section of our Quagmire and Alpine Gaiters. In this application, the laminate utilizes a 70 denier nylon face fabric. The material allows perspiration to pass through easily but prevents external water from entering. The result: waterproof protection and superior breathability!
Cordura®
Cordura® is a special type of nylon yarn used for its strength. These yarns are used in two different product areas:
> In the siliconized Ultra-Sil™ fabrics used in Ultra-Sil™ Dry Sacks, Stuff Sacks, Compression Sacks, Pack Covers, Travelling Light and Travel Essentials products> In the foot section of the extremely tough eVent® Quagmire Gaiters.
