FEATURES

- Cuff is reinforced with 750 D, two-layer Cordura® nylon that is highly abrasion resistant yet flexible.

- Adjustable drawcord at the top allows easy fastening of the gaiter to keep debris and rain out.
- Top cuff is lined with smooth, soft fabric for next-to-skin comfort and easy movement.
- 40 mm hook-and-loop closure on front panel is the perfect width for adding stiffness and shin protection while allowing flexibility.
- Press-stud at bottom is set low for secure closure.
- Hook is positioned low on the gaiter’s interior for secure attachment to laces.
- Low-profile stainless steel buckle on under-boot strap gives slim fit for uninhibited walking.
- TPU laminated under-boot strap has a firm, secure hold, doesn’t pickup mud, or ball with ice.
- Colour-coding used on size tags allows simple organisation of gear fleets.
- Made in Melbourne using Australian Made canvas

The wearing of gaiters reduces the risk from snake bites. As there is no current Australian Standard for gaiter design, we make no guarantees with respect to the same.

FITTING
Well-fitting gaiters should sit snugly around the body of your boots to stop water and mud migrating up into your socks. To fit, first get the correct size. Then:
- Starting at the back, wrap a gaiter around your calf.
- Ensure the under-boot strap sits neatly in your instep and tighten to remove looseness. This will help to keep out water, debris and muck.
- Fasten the front hook to your laces.
- Securely fasten the hook-and-loop closure on the front of the shin.
- Repeat for other gaiter.
