[QUOTE="mtntrapper1, post: 704500, member: 47396"] The old Berghaus gaiters I have are 19 year old, yetis are newer by far, mine were not that tough, but they were tough to put on. Now in wearing them in steep terrain, you need to know that if it is not tight, or glued on the toe, it will slip over the top of the toe in tough conditions where you use your toes to stick in the slope and go up. Mountaineering boots will do this fine, they are made for this. but in some very tough snow conditions with crust and heavy coarse grained snow, the toe will ride up over the top once in a while. So a tight fit is essential. But I tell you in wet and cold snowy conditions, unless you are using 6 to $700 mountaineering boots with built in gaiters like these, you will realize amazing waterproofness and warmth when using uninsulated boots with Rubber rand gaiters such as the Yetis. I hunt and have hunted in - 25 below and colder in Montana, up high on Mtns above treeline for Mtn Goats in late November. These gaiters will be a lifesaver in long day conditions such as those in tough rocky and ice slopes on high Mtns. I use them mostly on my 20 year old Koflach plastic lightweight Mountaineering boots. Lighter than any similar leather boot and far more durable.
