Outdoor Research Men's Helium Hiking Gaiters
THE HELIUM GAITERS UTILISE OUR BEST-SELLING AND AWARD-WINNING HELIUM FABRIC TO KEEP FOOTWEAR FREE FROM ROCKS, SNOW, AND DEBRIS WHILE YOU'RE ON TRAIL.
Made with Pertex® Shield Diamond Shield 2.5L technology, these sleek, low-profile gaiters offer exceptional waterproof and breathable protection without the weight. The replaceable Hypalon strap provides a secure fit and makes in-field repairs easy. Compact and highly packable, the Helium Gaiters are designed to fit perfectly over trail runners or lightweight hiking boots, with adjustable features to ensure they stay snug and comfortable throughout your hike. The hook/loop front closure, elastic across the back heel, and drawcord cinch at the top give you a customised, secure fit that moves with you.
Whether you're thru-hiking, backpacking, or simply out for a day hike, the Helium Gaiters offer lightweight, packable protection against debris and the elements, keeping your feet dry and your stride unimpeded.

reviews
"they are excellent and well built"
"Never used gators before but they were required for a hike up Kilimanjaro. Very happy with their performance. Kept debris out of my shoes and protected pants and tops of shoes. A must for the hike."
"I made it through two winters in Hokkaido with these. It's safe because it's well below the knee; at first, I was worried that the fabric was so thin that this would be okay, but it completely protected against rain and snow" -
