Gaiters

[Cabinetman]

I’m looking to buy leg gaiters for a mule deer hunt this fall. I’ve tried the skre gaiters because they were recently on sale but they were extremely loud, like obnoxiously loud. They sounded like I had bags of chips in my pockets every time I took a step! I know they’ve got to have some noise to them because of their purpose but what gaiters are y’all wearing for spot and stalk hunts?

Kuiu , Kenetrek or OR have worked for me

I have Kenetrek and OR, both work great. Will be taking the Kenetrek next week to Idaho for bear.

OR’s return policy is the best in the business. Just send them back again. Maybe it’s a design flaw they’re aware of, either way, you’ll get a new pair or store credit.

I don’t use gaiters anymore, I just take a shock cord and make a loop for under my boots. It’s simpler and does the trick.

What do you attach the shock cord to, and what purpose does just a shock cord play?

I've been using KUIU Yukons for several years now, they're great.

Kuiu yukon have been the best I've used. Used to use the sitka thunderhead which were really quite but otherwise junk in my opinion. I hated the draw string on the top of the sitkas, they always slipped down and the seamed to absorb more moisture than they shed.

I think Hillsound has a good gaiter on paper.

Again go for KUIU there excellent lightweight, tough fabric and do not slip down.

I was very impressed with my hunting partners Peax gaiters compared to my FL Bramblers. I broke a button off the Bramblers during their first hunt. My next pair will be from Peax.

Kenetreks are bullet proof, quiet and easy to get on and off.

Another vote for kenetrek, they will hand you a brand new pair if they rip or stitching comes out no questions asked

Kuiu Yukons have worked great for me. I haven’t tried anything else. Haven’t needed to

My buddy bought them for our bear hunt, they were solid:

Kuiu Yukon. They are the only one I've tried that aren't obnoxiously loud.

 

[Geewhiz]

Had OR crocs for a while and really liked them. Then I bought a pair of hillsound armadillo gaitors and so far i like them even more. Time will tell on those.

Another KUIU positive report here...

 

[Olympics777]

I’ve had the Kenetrek ones for awhile, they are better than nothing but I don’t love how they fit and they are cheaply made. I think I’m gonna order the stone glacier ones next.

Kuiu makes fantastic gaiters
