Kenetrek Hunting Gaiters - Loden

Title says it all. I have some bombproof OR gaiters that are great for heavy wet snow, but most days they are too hot and too heavy. I also have some lightweight gaiters that keep sticks and rocks out of my boots, but they soak though with too much moisture. I bought theses Kenetreks thinking that they would strike perfect balance between the two. And they do! If you were going to own just one pair of gaiters this would be a good choice. They are light and do well with damp grass and dry snow. The material is kinda like a nylon and I was was worried about them being too loud for a hunter but they are not really that bad. They fit snugly and do not rustle much. Price is great too. I can’t see any reason to spend the $$$ on Sitka or Kuiu.

The first week of using these while hunting, one of the snaps pulled out the gaiter. Not the greatest quality I’ve seen.

These worked for me for two years and now the back of one of the gaiters has ripped probably from a branch. These really need a more rugged backside to them like the Sitka brands if you don't want to buy a new set every couple years. Or maybe i'm just harder on my stuff than most. Deadfall off the beaten path destroys a lot of things.
