Not trying to bag on Peax, but ever since that guy on the cheap gear that works thread showed that they were selling the same headlamp for $80 that you could get for $25, just with their logo on it, I started to look at their products differently.
Stone Glacier on the other hand, I have those gaiters and they are the most functional that I’ve used. Easy to get on, easy to dial in the fit, and built to last. I’ve used them in all seasons and haven’t found a thing I didn’t like about them.
The others I tried were t&k (like the design, just were a little over-built and complicated to get the right fit for me), kuiu yukon (felt they were hard to get a good seal and didn’t like their bottom buckle), and the Sitka Thunderhead (really like these, will use them more for archery; I prefer a taller gaiter).
I like the height of the SG Gaiters over the Sitka Thunderhead. I think the Thunderhead is a great option for archery because the face fabric is brushed.
Ill have to take look at those as well! Do you happen to know what thread it was about the peax headlamp and the cheap one? Or do you have a link for the cheap one? Because I was wanting to get one of the peax lamps

Lookup Sofrin, the oem. I don’t remember the thread but you can hop on their USA website and grab a headlamp under $30. The white 500 lumen with red lens is pretty impressive.
Whats the difference between the peax gaiters and OR?? The yellow boot strap?? The look exactly the same but cost way more.
Different materials, the strap is supposedly a lot stronger, and for the stitching thread they use dyneema I don’t know about the rest of the material though

they are tough to beat... i have them, the peax, the kutana and their scree gaiters as well... i don't like much from kuiu, but their raingear and gaiters are legit, nothing remotely bad to say about eitherThe Kuiu Yukon gaiters have been awesome for me over the last 5 years. Overwhelming amount of positive reviews on them as well.

Haven't used Peax, but the SG ones were in development a long time (I'm sure Peax was as well). To me looking at them, Peax is taking a gaiter like an OR Croc and making incremental improvement on the construction (although their cut looks nicer, similar to what Kuiu had done). Kuiu seemed to take a similar with the Yukon, which is a great gaiter due to the material, cut, and reduced seams. But what SG did was totally different. The stretchy softer top combined with the hard wearing bottom (Peax looks like they may be like that as well?), replaceable boot strap, the adjustment and ability to clean up all the webbing tab ends, the variable width calf wrap, and stretchy top strap are all pretty unique. It all works quite nicely.I've been looking at SG and peax gaiters so it's interesting to hear everyone's opinion.
