Title: Gaiters...
Post by: Big Jeremy on March 05, 2019, 12:25:42 PM
Several guys on here have mentioned wearing gaiters to help keep your boots dry. I've done a little research, but which ones are you guys using, and why? TIA

The taller First Lite gaiters for me.  I had some Kuiu yukon gaiters and they were solid as well.  Great addition to the gear list for damp conditions.

Sitka, very well made. All the above will work great, I just got a deal on the Sitka I couldn't pass.

Turtle Skins. I wear them for snake protection but they do an excellent job of keeping the lower legs dry.

Rattlers for snake protection. They also keep the tops of the boots dry.

I have some turtle skins and OR expedition crocodile gaiters. The Outdoor Research gaiters are so much nicer but I wear the turtle skins for when the snakes are crawling.

Do any of these listed NOT do a good job of keeping boots/pants dry?

I wear Danner Snake boots and they are tall and waterproof. In Texas it's either dry and snakes or wet. Just wait a minute if you don't like the weather.
