Customer Reviews for the Salamander Outdoor Research Gaiters

Overall good product
Outdoor Research makes great gaiters. I have these along with the Crocodiles. This is a great version for rain. It covers all the vitals of the boot. The attached strap that strings underneath is rugged but how it is attached to the gaiter could prove to be a weak spot (sewn on). The velcro backing is also difficult to get to but easy once you get used to it. Overall it does what it's supposed to and then some.
