diesel with attitude
This product is great because it looks and works as if it is overbuilt and industrial. Very good construction. It puts other products to shame. Not much weight difference. I wish all products were made this well.
Type of Boots...
Mountain Hardwear recommends that you use these gaiters with a plastic mountaineering boot however i am using them with a pair of Columbia winter boots and they work amazingly! all around great gaiter even if your only messing around in the backyard. rated the durability 4 out of 5 only because i haven't had them that long but they feel like they will hold up very well!
Initial thoughts
I bought these gaiters for an upcoming Rainier attempt later this summer. I have the large size which fit over my relatively bulky size 12 boots easily - the sizing guidelines seem to err to the small side. The velcro closure is sizeable and is very secure. I'm pleased with the purchase and looking forward to testing them in the real climb.
