Leg Gaiters from Winis




I received this pair of Leg Gaiters from Winis to review and provide my opinion on how these worked for me. These are knee length gaiters and measure about 18 inches tall. These gaiters are best for light conditions when you just need to keep snow, dirt, insects or rain out of your boots. The top has a toggle and elasticized draw cord to tighten them up. You don’t really need to overtighten the cord at the top of the gaiters. The cord is just used to keep the gaiters from slipping down your leg. Overtightening the cord may make them uncomfortable to wear. The gaiters have a long strip of Velcro making it quick and easy to put them on or take them off.  Put the gaiters on so that the opening of the Velcro closure is facing slightly towards the outsides of your legs. If you place them on the inside, you may accidentally kick the Velcro strips while walking. The instep boot straps are made with a thick faux leather type material for extra durability. The attached metal hooks at the bottom let you attach your gaiters to your boot laces for added security.
These gaiters are made from a 600D anti-tear durable oxford cloth fabric which is a waterproof, breathable material that helps to keep the moisture from snow and rain out of your boots. When wearing these gaiters to keep rain water out of your boots, try wearing the gaiters underneath your rain pants. This will help to create a sort of shingled effect that will let the rain run off of your boots instead of into them much like shingles help the rain flow off of a roof.
If you were to wear the gaiters over your pants, the rain will simply just run down your pants, underneath the gaiters and into your boots.
These gaiters are made with a durable material to help keep mosquitoes, ticks and other biting insects away. This can be very helpful for hiking and backpacking in areas known to have a huge insect population. The rugged fabric can withstand the abrasion of ice, rocks, cactus and thorny briar bushes. The fabric is also soft enough that it offers flexibility for climbing. They are very lightweight and can be folded up to fit in the included storage bag so that they don't take up a lot of valuable space in your pack.
These gaiters also come in handy while performing yardwork to offer some protection from flying debris when mowing or using a weed-eater.
