Alpine eVent Gaiters

These are the best gaiters I've ever used. Period. The strap and hardware are durable, the Event breathes better than Gore-Tex, and the gaiters do not slip down even on long hikes.

I used these on a 50 miler in the Frank Church Wilderness where it would snow, sleet, and rain all day and they were worth their weight in gold!

This is my new favorite piece of gear. I never used gaiters until this season as i got into hunting. Even though i spent plenty of time outdoors hiking/camping. These Gaiters are literally my new favorite piece of clothing. I've used it in hot early season bushwhacking through Sage brush all day *(on hot days, they do make your feet a little toasty, but on cold days you'll appreciate this heat trapping around your foot), I've used it in just general thick brush, high alpine, snow and agricultural fields. I wish i had experienced the benefits of Gaiters seasons earlier.
i have used them with 8" high/stiff hunting boot, standard Mid-Hiking boots, and even with standard low runners *(when i forgot my hiking mid-top boots at home). They block absolutely everything out from getting around my ankle. they also allowed me to quickly wade through smaller creeks that otherwise would have been too deep for my 8" hunting boot.
Durability: 10/10. I've put well over 100 miles on these in first 6 weeks of hunting season, and they are holding up great. They also hold their shape pretty well so i don't feel the need to pull the top bungee around my leg tight at all.
I wont leave home w/out these now.
**i actually managed to loose my 1st set recently out on a hunt, must have left it by the car after i changed out for the drive back. i did not hesitate and ordered exact same replacement pair right away.
Highly recommend, you will not be disappointed.

The STS Alpine Gaitors worked great for me on my winter ascent of a 14'r ( a hike where the summit is above 14,000ft ) in my home of Colorado. The main things I look for in a gaitor is fit/comfort/adjustability. On a winter ascent you change a few layers along the way and even shoes to boots sometimes. The STS Alpine gaitors have perfectly placed adjustable straps that allowed for a variety of pant options as well as a change from shoes to boots on the way up and down. They fit comfortably with any combination and were so easy to adjust and for that, they pass with flying colors!

Being a casual backpacker who mainly sticks to shorter 2-3 day trips with maybe one longer trip a year, I never really considered investing in gaiters. These were my first pair, and they are light and compact enough to throw in my pack on my shorter trips when I know I'll be in snow or on scree terrain. While wearing them, they feel very light and I often forget I have them on. No more stopping to empty my shoes from rocks and dirt on those downhill descents.
