Best for all conditions except snow.

Rating:*****
I've had a pair of Rocky Mountain Low Gaiter™ for a few years and would not think of going backpacking or even hiking without them. They simply save you a pair of pants when it's cold to run in shorts or a pair of socks and liners if it's warm. They are definitely not for when it's snowing even if light. The instep lace is not strong enough to resist abrasion from walking on rocks. Replace it with a sturdier synthetic cord (a few to choose from) and you're all set. Worth every penny!

Improved Design

Rating:*****
My hiking buddy has last years Rocky Mountain Lows and I just purchased these. These have a few significant improvements that he is envious of. The first major improvement is the instep strap. The previous pair used the horrible shoelace type. These now use the Hypalon strap that is much more durable and easier to adjust. These also have opposing velcro tabs at top and bottom to help keep the gaiters closed up tight. These are perfect for the warmer weather months when full gaiters are a little too hot.

"Extremely Durable and easy to use! A must have for the outdoorsman!"

I wasnt sure which to get when it came to gaiters but I am glad I went with the OR! I love them! Super durable, fit great! Will but another pair when or if these ever wear out. Cannot wait to put these things through the ringer!

send me this again in another month as I'm heading to the UK to walk the Thames Path, and by the time I complete the 184 spring wet miles I'll surely have a review to give you.

Just what I needed

Rating:*****
Just what I needed for hiking. The gaiter goes on easily, has both a toe clip and a heel strap for security, and the gaiter is easy to put on and take off.

Perfect

Rating:*****
Wanted something to keep the scree and ash out on St. Helens. Very rugged. Velcro makes it easy on/off and the instep strap replaces easily.

Nylon instep lace blew out in 1 day

mfgr. says "designed for mud and groomed trails of pacific northwest" they are well aware that lace wears out quickly and recommened that user replaces w/ perlon cord instead of correcting the initial problem.

as advertised

Good snaps, velcro and lace hook but the lace under the boot is not usable for X-country bindings.
