Turtle Skins Gaiters-Review

[Spurs]

Well, to say that I'm disappointed is an understatement.  The overall quality of this product is bad.  The zipper threading has already began to fail and I haven't even worn outside of the house.  The design is silly as they are bad to ride up, so I had some alterations done at a seamstress...she completely botched them.  Used bulky plastic and skimped on the stitching. 

I will continue alterations on my own and beefing up the stitching in key locations, but to spend that amount of money on a product really ticks me off.

If we could get some OR croc gaiters out of the Kevlar material in Mossy Oak it would be magical. It's too bad turtle skins won't make a better design. It's a little frustrating but I'll keep using mine til something better comes along.

I did some modifications myself today...which was super tough.  That material is dang sure needle proof.  I sewed on a metal cinch kinda thing that seemed way tougher and is much lower profile.  Going to get some reinforce the treading at both ends of the zippers too.

I must have got mine before the quality went down or maybe mine was made on a good day? I've put a lot of miles on mine and had zero issues.

One of mine zips up fine and the other one I almost always have wrestle with.  Been that way every since they came out of the package. I haven't thought about using any kind of lube on the zippers. Not sure of it would help or be a good idea.
