Tail Feathers

I bought a pair of Kennetreks last year and love them.
I find the Kennetreks but they don't show to be snakeproof.  Has my google gone weak?

I don't believe they are meant to be snakeproof.

Well that's been on my mind so I guess I went looking for that.  Thanks.

I have the Kuiu....many years, and many miles on them.

They still look new, completly waterpoof and stay put.

I spray with permethrin inside and out every spring.

What size in the Kenetrek? I'm 5'6" and wear a 8.5 boot

Look for Ranger Gaiters. Forestry trusted for decades and don't ride up your leg. Saw Pinhoti in person recently, looked like a boy I ear slapped in middle school. Bout 5'8 with heels on

5'10" with the heels.

And hope you introduced yourself.  :icon_thumright:

Got a pair of these for Christmas. Have worn them twice and so far very impressed. They stay put.

I am unfortunately going to have to get leg gaiters instead of snake boots for my trip to OK next year, I have kind of a bump on my left leg that I had forgotten wearing tall rubber boots makes it hurt and I think the same will happen with snake boots.

It is a result of my car accident in 88, there are various layers of skin and the fascia is damaged on that leg an the bump kind of gets bigger or smaller depending on my leg position. So thanks for the thread, I will be looking into them more and more as my trip approaches.

I do not understand why someone wants to take a shot at someone? Does it make you feel better about yourself to put someone down, or are you just trying to get a laugh. This is another thing wrong with the world.

I think he was kidding around about it. I'm 5'5 with heels on so I've been cut on a ton about it. It doesn't bother me and most of the time guys are just joking. Boot size is 13 though.

Did the permethrin do anything to the waterproofing??? I have first lite gaiter that were always waterproof and I started spraying them with permethrin too and now they seem to get soaked out at time in really really wet conditions I didnt know if it was the permethrin damaging the waterproofness.

I washed them and am going to apply nikiwax spray to see if I can boost the water tightness again before I replace them but i do love wearing gaiter.
