Gaiters

I really like SG products, not a fan of their gaiters. The Kuiu are much better. It's not even close.

I don’t know why more companies don’t put the lace hook on the bottom of their pants like Fjallraven does. Most of the time I don’t need a full gaiter and could get away with just a way to secure the pants to my boots.

I've been ice climbing for year's (crampons are sharp so gaitors have to be tough). Anecdotally, I would say the gaitors represented mostly iceclimbers are the OR crocs. They’re bomber. You can’t go wrong with them.

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).

Man! I really agree on my opinion of the Peax stuff. I fell for the hype on the headlight and got one. It's a great headlight but way overpriced. I feel the same about their other stuff now. Going with the SG gaiters as a result of this. Not bagging in Peax but i feel better knowing that others might feel the same about em.

I think the only thing I would try from PEAX is their gaiters. Seems like they've really got those nailed down but I'm going to pass on the rest of their products. Their social media influencer marketing strategy is kind of a turnoff for me. I will say, I love my KUIU Yukon gaiters.

I've been eyeing up the Stone Glacier gaiters, really like the dyneema strap and their adjustability

I don't like them. They are tough but the fit is terrible. I got a pair when they first came out, wear a 13 boot and the L was too small. They had other issues. Redesigned a few things and came out with an XL as well. I got the XL this year and they don't fit well either, too big for a 13 boot. Toe hooks won't stay on, boot strap is all the way tight and still to loose. They push up, snow and debris push up in them. Water goes up in them. I wanted to like them based on their design. Fit is poor making them basically useless.

Good to know! I'll have to find a pair locally and try them on
