I am admittedly a large legged fellow (maybe a little fat), but I need your recommendations for gaiters. I purchased the PEAX xl and they do not fit. Any help would be appreciated.
 
Check out the kuiu gaiters, they work for me. If I remember right they had pretty good dimensions and measurements so you can make sure they fit before you order

Kenetrek XL fit my big calves with room to spare the t&k are big too from everything I've seen but I haven't personally tried them l. I recently heard of katmai gear grizzly gaiters which I was planning on checking out since they're local to me and supposed to be big as well.

I use the OR brand. Haven’t seen them in any camo patterns. Big calves.

KUIU Yukon XL fit my calves and I haven’t met or seen many people with a larger calf/foot combo.

Size 15 and calves are 18” circumference.

Kenetrek XL are larger than the Yukons but are nowhere close on performance if truly staying dry matters. I use my Kenetrek XL with Hoffman double insulated pacs.

OR are noisy if that matters.

Thank you!
 
Another option to consider. Dont have any experience with them but seems to be more of a custom fit.
