Why I love them 👇🏻
Found the answer yet? It’s in the last image!
These are lightweight gaiters and I love them because they keep pine needles and rocks out of your boots.
Normal gaiters are made of much heavier material and are much larger — going above your ankle or as high as mid calf. They’re bulky, hot, and unnecessary for most of the hiking I do.
I’ve been wearing this lightweight kind year-round for years now but I rarely see others with them.
Have you heard of them before and why or why haven’t you tried them out?
You’ll find them in our profile 👀
