SPECIFICATIONS of the Outdoor Research Women's Crocodiles.
Backcountry.com
The names 'Cordura' and 'Gore-Tex' have both become legendary among outdoor enthusiasts. Both have come to symbolize utter dependability in their respective fields. One item that has helped to nurture this reputation is the Outdoor Research Crocodile Gaiter. Equally legendary and nearly as famous, the Crocodile was the original high-performance weather- and mountain-proof gaiter. The Crocodile hasn't changed much over the years because its design was spot-on from the beginning. Besides having a triple-bartacked Biothane webbing instep strap and an additional tab that holds down the front opening, this Cordura and Gore-Tex masterpiece remains as it was in the beginning.
Backcountry Edge
A long-standing award winner, Outdoor Research Women's Crocodiles gaiters can be found deep in the backcountry and on alpine peaks all over the planet. With a fitted design and durable, waterproof fabrics, Women's Crocodiles are trustworthy companions for extreme adventures.

Like their reptilian namesakes, Outdoor Research Crocodiles have been around forever. And because they're tough as nails, they've hardly changed during that time - they're remained king of the gaiter kingdom, year after year. There's always room for improvement, though, so the instep strap is now triple-bartacked BioThane® webbing, and an additional tab holds the front opening down, but otherwise they remain as they were when they first appeared. The fitted design and durable, waterproof fabrics are as effective now as ever.

The original do-it-all gaiter of mountaineers, backcountry skiers, and off-trail adventurers, the Crocodile is designed to handle anything. Durable Taslan Gore-Tex leg sections resist Devil’s Club and keep snow out. The 1000D Cordura boot section, lined with coated 8 oz. packcloth, stands up to ski edges, crampon snags, and general boot wear. The water-resistant coating on the packcloth is sewn to face the Cordura layer, protecting the coating from boot abrasion. The hook and loop front closure is sewn with sturdy double-needle stitching. A shear tab prevents the front closure from separating at the bottom. The urethane coated nylon instep strap can be replaced on the trail without tools.Campsaver.com

Essential gear for on or off the trail
I like stopping to take photos and soak in the sights not to pick rocks and other stuff out of my boots - gaiters keep me going. In stream crossings I get a a little more time before my boots take on water and when crashing through the brush I get a little extra protection on the shins. No matter what the conditions, hot, dry, cold, wet, snow covered I always wear gaiters and these OR Crocs can take a huge amount of abuse and still lock tight, fit comfortable, and keep the junk out. I'm on my second set - the first set is still OK I just wanted to freshen-up the look.
Required
Some say that Goretex is needed when it come to gaitors. I don't know for sure.
When picking a size, I found that none of the brands helped with deciding what size is best. After some trial and error, I found that the size is reffered to the size of your calves. It's all about your calves!!!!
I wear my gaitors all year round. They protect my boots, my panths from getting wet when goeing through brush that is wet or even damp. My legs do not get extra warm or hot when wearing these. That's why I wear them year round. So worth it in the long run.

OR Croc Gaiters, THE industry standard
With little technical tweaking over the years, the OR Crocodile Gaiters are the standard that other companies hold themselves to. These are first mentioned when one says the word 'gaiters' and with good reason. I have had the same pair for almost 15 years; and even after ample abuse, they are still as effective as when I purchased them in the late 1990s. They are versatile for multiple seasons, applications, and boot adaptability. Get a pair and see for yourself why these are the real McCoy-other full gaiters are just an attempt at the OR Crocodile design.
Armor For My Legs
I love these gaiters. Wore 'em for a month through the Desert (with a capital D), couldn't tell you what it feels like to have sand in your shoes. They are bomber. I leave all kinds of traces when I am marching through the brush with invincible armored Crocodile legs. Seriously, these are great. I must be getting old if I'm this excited about... gaiters.
Top quality!
Great quality in the construction. Easy to put on and they stay in place for long days of trekking. I wore them up Kilimanjaro...9 days and plan to use many more times. Good gear!
+
I use these gaiters when hiking through snow or wet brush and they keep the water out and my pants dry. They outperform other brands and I would definitely recommend them.
Awesome
Took these on a wet and briar filled pheasant hunt in Oregon and they kept me and my pants in one piece. Absolutely fantastic piece of gear.
Good product
Good fit

BAD for heavy use in rugged terrain
I recently got a pair of these for use in extreemly wet and rugged terrain. At first they worked great. Nice and water proof, easy to use, etc. I was sold. But then after "extended" use... 5 days of hiking through brush they were completly destroyed. BothI recently got a pair of these for use in extremely wet and rugged terrain. At first they worked great. Nice and water proof, easy to use, etc. I was sold. But then after "extended" use... 5 days of hiking through brush they were completely destroyed. Both of the Velcro tabs split and frayed, the boot strap tab frayed, and there were large holes torn in the upper portions from ferns and sticks. Thank you to REI for your wonderful return policy :)
If you hike on trails or in grass these are great, but if you are doing some serious work, I recommend that you buy something more durable.
