Iconic Outdoor Research Crocodile gaiters have been delivering fully waterproof leg protection to alpinists, explorers, and backcountry adventurers since before the turn of the century. Along the way, boots and footwear have slimmed down and this new mid-height version is designed to mirror those changes. The 3-layer GORE-TEX construction still banishes the elements and shrugs off abrasion just like its taller predecessor but is better suited for pairing with streamlined hiking boots and low-cut trail shoes.
Best Use: Backpacking and Hiking
Price: $88.95
