A beefy variation on the top-selling Crocodile Gaiter.
Like Crocs with even thicker skin, the Outdoor Research Expedition Crocodiles Gaiters are made to function on extended mountaineering trips, in cold weather and difficult conditions. They are larger in circumference, giving you more room for plastic boots and insulated pants. The inside leg of each gaiter is made of durable Cordura fabric that resists crampon snagging.

Great product, runs large
Purchased size M to use in warmer winter conditions, already have size XL for very cold weather use. Works fine for my size 10 1/2 feet. Size M is also OK for me even in spring or fall. Too hot for summer.
Great Gaitors!
These gaitors are excellent. Solid construction and rugged materials. The velcro is very strong and actually takes two hands to separate. No issues with leaks snow etc., getting in the boot. Best used with boots that have a gaitor clip in. Overall an A+ outdoor product.
Great gaiter
These gaiters are the best gaiters I have ever owned. They are extremely durable and nice looking. I am 6'2" and 225 pounds with size 12 feet (46 euro). I ordered the large size based on previous reviews. I have large calves and the large size fits snug over just a pair of goretex pants and boots (length is perfect). So if you are planning layering order an XL if you have large calves.
Great Gaiters but...
These are the best gaiters I've owned- heavy duty and very effective. However, as with most gaiters, the buckle rides too low on the foot. I've had buckles break and this looks like it will be a problem with these too (another review elsewhere reports this problem for these gaiters as well). That said, they are otherwise incredible.
Best Gaiters Made!
Best gaiters made. If you want gaiter that fit and last, buy these gaiters.
