TurtleSkin gaiters

[StruttinGobbler3]

It's not about how many snakes you see while turkey hunting- it's the dozens you walk past and DON'T see that are the most dangerous. In the south, there's no telling how many snakes we walk by that we never know about. I'm in the woods quite a bit between running coonhounds, turkey hunting, and deer season. Given my amount of time spent in snake country the odds go up significantly for me to be struck at. In GA we never have a real winter, maybe 2-3 weeks of freezing temps on average. That means our snakes are out at least 90% of the year. It only takes one bite to change your life, physically and financially. And that's if you're lucky enough to be near to your vehicle and close enough to a hospital to get quick treatment. As for boots, Danner Sharptail snake boots are the best money I've ever spent. Lighter than a typical pair of work boots and very comfortable. I've put a ton of miles on them and my feet stay as comfortable as they would be without them. I don't even notice that I'm wearing them. Highly recommend checking them out.

I"ve used the turtleskins for a season & I like them. I really didn't have an issue with them riding up but there are holes you can use paracord to tie them down if it bothers you. The one thing I don't like is they can be a little noisy but it's tolerable. Used them in several states with browning hunting boots & won't wear my snake boots again. Much more comfortable & keep my feet & legs dryer in tall grass! I do think an under arch strap would be something they should consider as it would make them more secure for those that have the "riding up" issue.

I got mine in today. For anyone wondering what the Camo/khaki pair look like in real life and on some First Lite Fusion.

I ended up adding a mini bungee cord I've shortened to keep mine down.

A 6+" high boot seems like the minimum. Anything lower and the gaiter pops up over the top of the boot and can let rocks and stuff in.

That's a great idea

I leave a paracord loop in mine with fixed knots in the ends so they won't slip through the holes. The paracord is kind enough I skip the loop under my boot and tie it in a knot on top of my boot.

I used para cord on my pair as well but I went ahead and tied off both ends so it just make a permanent loop that I slip my boot through when putting them on or taking them off.

I used them last year with hiking boots. Way better than any snake boot
I've had. Had not one issue with them riding up. I got them for walking in
the woods in the dark and also because I might be 3-5 miles from the truck
hunting by myself.
