Its near-weightlessness and easy-on design makes it the perfect choice for ounce-counting adventurers who need a simple, streamlined answer to keeping trail debris out of shoes and socks.

All-around UPF 50+ fabric guards sensitive skin from sun damage, and a hypalon instep strap keeps gaiter secure and snug beneath your footwear.
