There is a reason they have been around so long - they work! Outdoor Research's Crocodiles Gaiters provide GORE-TEX waterproof protection and Cordura durability so you can take on rain, snow, mud, or crampons. The triple-bartacked BioThane webbing instep strap is incredibly durable to lock your gaiters in place while the front clasp makes sure the front of your boots stay covered.
