Mountain Hardwear created the Pinnacle Stretch Gaiter to handle the harsh environments of high mountains. The uppers use waterproof breathable Conduit fabric while the lowers include the added durability of Cordura to protect from sharp crampon points and freshly tuned ski edges. These gaiters come to just below your knees, so you don’t have to risk filling your boots with snow when you’re breaking trail to the summit shortly after a storm.

Great

I love this guy. I always gave people who had gaiters a hard time. After wearing these guys after a fresh snow, I was sold. Kept snow out of boots and also kept my crampons from snagging my pants on those long climbs. A must have for all winter sports people.

OUTSTANDING!

I got these gators to go snowshoeing, and I wouldn't change them one bit. I wear a size 7 shoe, so I ordered a medium. I wouldn't want them any smaller.
