OR Expedition Gaiters Review

OR Expedition Gaiters Review
The OR Expedition Gaiters are designed for strenuous mountaineering conditions and epic ice climbing adventures. At only 12.1 ounces for the pair, they add extra protection over your boots and pants without a lot of extra weight. Constructed of waterproof and breathable GoreTex fabric and Cordura nylon, they resist snags from crampon and ice axe points while adding extra insulation. Designed with the mountaineer in mind, the sizing will accommodate heavier boots typical for mountaineering applications.

Perks

The gaiters are thick enough to resist crampon snags on both glaciers and vertical ice, season after season. They are easy to adjust and put on and the generous sizing allows for use with bulkier plastic or double boots.

Sacrifices

The Expedition gaiters are stiff and will not stretch. It is important to ensure that you measure prior to ordering to ensure that your order the right size to accommodate your boots and pant thickness.

Bottom Line

A staple item for your gear closet, the OR Expedition Gaiter will see you, your pants and boots safely up any vertical ice face or across any glacier. Heavier fabric and GoreTex technology make sure that you stay dray and warm no matter what you're doing outdoors.
