Short Gaiters, 1.0oz, 30g

Material & Construction

• 1.0 oz Dyneema® Composite Fabric: Patented ultra-light laminate with unmatched strength-to-weight ratio and inherent waterproofing for reliable protection in wet or sandy environments

• Minimalist Design: No lower-leg buckles, eyelets, or elastic to snag—reducing failure points in mud, ice, or brush 

• Front-Opening Hook & Loop Closure: Full-length Velcro strip allows rapid donning and doffing, even over boots 

️ Secure Fit & Adjustability

• Top Drawcord Sleeve: Elastic cord at the upper cuff cinches tightly around the leg, preventing ingress of debris and moisture 

• UHMWPE Side Cord: Ultra-tough, replaceable Dyneema® cord runs below the instep to anchor the gaiter in place throughout rigorous activity 

• Magic-Tape & Snap Buttons: Heavy-duty Velcro panels reinforced with snap closures ensure the gaiters stay firmly closed under load 

Specifications

• Height: 20 cm from instep to top cuff

• Coverage: Protects above the ankle, guards against moderate snow and rain when worn inside outer pants

Ideal Use Cases
