FootTrack wrote:Hi Scott,
Have you got a photo you can put on your site (or here), of the inward (but still outer) facing side of the gaiter? The problem I have had with gaiters in the past is that the stitching wears away down the bottom due to your ankles scuffing one another...
Do these come with a warranty?
Cheers.

I had an old pair from another brand that didn't have one and eventually it just starts to open up and that allows the velcro to get abraded and wear out. Snow is particularly good at slowly opening it up.
Yeah I think it is needed in scrub or snow and the testers agreed.

Is UHMWPE more wear resistant also?

It my highly scientific testing (rubbing it backwards and forwards on the large rock until it fails!) I have found it to be about twice as good as nylon cord

As one of the testers I can 100% attest to the quality of the workmanship of these gaiters (I've been through pretty much every brand - WE, STS, OR, Black Crystal) & the quality of these surpasses any of those brands.
I agree with SBS, the fit is probably a little slimmer than STS, I usually take a medium in the STS Quagmire but am testing the large in these (ideal would be between the 2 sizes for me).
I haven't been able to give them a full test run yet as it's kinda off-season for hard off-track walks but looking forward to providing more feedback later in the year.
As suggested, I'm looking forward to your overpant line Scott...hint...hint...
