Spring Legion Gaiters

[Ranman]

Going to give the hiking boots with gaiters a try this year. I'm not too worried about snakes, but hate wet feet. We have several area with tall grass, so I was looking at different gaiters and came across the Spring Legion gaiters out of Brandon, MS. Anyone have any experience with them? Look pretty nice.

Never heard of the Spring Legion brand, but they do look pretty nice.  I've been using a cheap set of Buckwells or similar name (can't remember the exact brand) off amazon for a couple of years and they have held up great on the waterproofing for $20.  I had never given the hiking boots a thought due to dew and wet legs until I had read about using the leg gaiters here on OG and now have no plans of using rubber boots again unless it is a monsoon.

my friend has them and kenetrek brand.

i dont think he liked the spring legion ones.

They seem to be basically the same as kenetrek to me. I don't use them a ton but I have no complaints

I got no report on the Spring Legion ones. I got a pair of Outdoor Research ones through work last year. They have the Insect Shield treatment and are pretty nice.

If you're in to the Made in America movement there's T and K but, like all things made by small shops it'll cost you. They're about $180.00/pair. They're warranted lifetime and they offer a military discount.

I tried the Kenetrek and hiking boot deal a couple years ago and it just ain't for me. I have a pair of kenetrek in the olive green (?) color if anyone is interested in a set. All I ask is that whoever pays shipping and they're yours. They've been in my closet for at least 2 years I know. Might have been used 5 times, if that.

Isn't spring legion basically a TikTok brand?  Are any of the biggies like Sitka or kuiu snake proof or briar proof?  I run into a lot of cotton mouths!

I like mine, they work as they should and are lighter and cooler than kennetrek's in my opinion.
I'd love something about this weight but snake bite proof, so far I haven't seen it.
They're all warmer than not wearing them and not as waterproof as rubber boots. I've yet find an all inclusive solution for turkey hunting. When it's cold I wear stuff that keeps my feet warm and when in snake infested places I wear snake boots, etc.
