Thread: Gaiters

I have had the fleece kind, rubbish. Tend to pick up all sorts of shit like hook grass, biddys and good at collecting mud and they fall down all day long.

I have a pair of Tui trail which are good at keeping out the rubbish and don't collect any but aren't very quiet.

I now have a pair of hunters Element Pinnacle Gaiters. Nice and rigid, excellent closure/zip Velcro, great fitting around boot. Best tho is they keep water out quite well
Cost a hundy and that is about tops for me on gaiters. $150 for swazi is just too much for the gear you get,IMO.

I have a pair of the modern stoney creek that close on the front, tough, well made and they don't fall down. The huntech are not bad for silent stalking, my mate is on its secon pair. He uses a hunter element neoprene boot gaiter to stop water getting in his boots when wet. His are slip on, my hunter element are zip on, but the zip is failing me now:-(

I bush hunt a fair bit as well. I have been using a pair of huntec gaiters for the past two years and they have been quite good. Not as good as the original old school ones, but still good. When they give out I will probably buy another pair.

Just bought some horse bandages with velcro like Triple222 from Nelson.
