Gaiters

[Litehiker]

I should mention that most gaiters, especially knee-high versions, will keep your feet at least 20 F. warmer.
Don't believe this? leaven gaiter on and take the other off and you will agree with my assessment.

I wear OR expedition gaiters and love them. Had the same pair for 8-9 years by now. The water proofing is starting to wear off by now, but with the mileage I've gotten from them I'm more than happy. I'll replace them with the same this off season.

To the OP's question are KUIU products good? Does the Pope wear a beanie? Kuiu makes the best outdoor/hunting clothing I've ever seen. KUIU gear is not inexpensive, in fact, yes, it is expensive but well worth the price.
PRiCE-> What you pay
VALUE-> What you get

Kuiu gives you exceptional value. Even in mountaineering clothing there is none with better quality than KUIU.

Will not support first lite or rinella again. I just found out I supported and paid my money to anti gun liberal supporter including Biden Steve rinellas owner. Yep Steve used me and now I'll get what I can back from using him.

As I get older and fatter, my calves seem to be getting bigger LOL. I still put in the miles backpacking though. A lot of the hunting gear is made for young "fit" people with athletic builds. Before my coming Alaska trip in 2022, I'm going to try a pair of T and K gaiters. They are made in USA .

Leg Gaiters

If you are looking for leg gaiters that can take extreme abuse...you have come to the right place. Overbuilt is an understatement. We use a 1000D Cordura and 400D Packcloth layering system, which stops water in its tracks (we have done tests...lots of tests). Rubber and Leather will not last...

They seem to be willing to do a little customization and may be able to help me with fit. The XL size in Crocs fits around my calves but bunch a little because I'm shorter.

+1 for the T&K, I have a pair only worn a couple times, great company and quality product, made in USA veteran owned!

BTW Outdoor Research (OR) makes excellent gaiters as well. Highly durable.

Have both Sitka and OR crocodile. Much prefer crocodiles.

I have the Kuiu Kutana gaiters and have been quite pleased with them. I used them both for snow and brush and under both conditions they have performed well. Light and durable enough for the task and fit nice and snug so you don't have to worry about them brushing against each other. Definitely worth the money.

I use OR Crocadiles for many years. I have the military issue coyote color ones, they are awesome.

Here is another US made brand

The outdoor research or first lite bramblers are my favorite gaiters.

I used kenetrek out west this year. I was reluctant to buy as I never had used them. I picked them up last town I drove threw just Incase. I was glad I did. They were soft and quiet. They would not protect from snakes. I only used them 6 days. They were great in the snow

Thanks

After using the Stone Glacier gaiters this year, they are my new favorites. I've used the kenetrek's, Kuiu Kutana, Kuiu Yukon, Sitka stormfront, OR expedition crocs, the SGs stand above the rest with their mix of materials and adjustability.

I have used KUIU kutana and kennetrek and like but don't love them both. I'm really interested to try stone glaciers new gaiter, it seems like a great design!
