Black Diamond GTX FrontPoint Gaiter

I was glad to find these lightweight gaiters. These are simple with a strong Velcro closure down the front. My ice climbing boots have a gaiters built in but I generally need something to protect my pant cuffs snagging my crampons, getting torn up and / or tripping me. These gaiters are tough and low profile, staying out of the way.

Ordered XL for my side 11. They help bridge the gap on my buffalo salopettes in the snow as I'm 6'2” and the legs high water a bit. Velcro opener is great for easy on/off and the Black Diamond logo is a nice touch to evidence their obvious quality.

They work as advertised. We bought them for our 9 year old son. They go up to his knees but hold fast on a full day of fort making and snowball fights in deep cold snow.

My haters have taken all the abuse I have thrown at them for years. They are awesome I am happy enough I bought another set as a gift. I bought them for snow use - but they are rugged enough for use on sceei fields in summer.

I am a winter adventure guide. I used these gaiters probably over 50 days this year in several feet of snow. The arch strap has held up even with trekking through tough terrain, and the Velcro is still strong. I can be tough on my gear, but these have held up well and still look professional enough to guide. Highly recommend these to anyone.
