Gaiters for large calves

[Pinewood]

I have very large calves and have never successfully found a gaiter that will comfortably go around them. Has anybody had any luck finding a real girthy gaiter? The OR ones did not work for me, too tight. Cheers!

OR Crocs, or another model?

Also have large calves. The Kuiu Yukons in XL fit me, even a little too big

First Lite Bramblers were way too small. They were good taking the return though.

OR Expedition gaiters may fit you, they are sized larger for cold weather mountaineering clothing

I second the Kuiu Yukon gaiter, husband has large calves too and they fit him comfortably. Now if we’re talking socks, that’s a whole different conversation!

The only gaiter I know are the OR. They come in multiple sizes so maybe be sure you had the XL’s. If that doesn’t work then I’m not sure you will find gaiters big enough.

I have large calves and the Sitka Stormfront fit nice but they are a snug fit. Size L/XL.

I have large calves and use the Kenetrek hunting gaiters. They fit perfect, not to loose but not tight either. Been very impressed so far.

I also have large calves and use the Kenetrek gaiters. Size XL fit me great with my size 14-15 feet as well.

If the Kuiu XL's fit, you simply don't have big calves. I have a pair of them and they are super tight. The only one's I've found that are comfortable are the Kennetrek's as mentioned above. (I have 19" calves for reference).

Same here

I have used both Kenetreks and Kuiu Yukon XL gaiters. I would say that the Kenetrek's would allow for a little more calf girth. The Yukons fit a little more snug.

19” calves here. The kuiu fit tight like a drum but they fit. OR crocs in xl are a little roomier, i believe they go up to xxl.

If you are looking at OR, make sure you get the expedition croc gaiters vs. the others - the expeditions seem to have more girth than the other models.
