Highlights

The simple pair that keeps your feet dry

No membranes, no ratings, no camouflage - just waterproof fabric between wet grass and your socks, at a price that makes them easy to own.

Stops the wet-grass soaking

Walk through dew at dawn without wet socks by eight o'clock. That single benefit is why most people buy gaiters.

Adjustable straps and buckles

Set the fit to your own calf and boot, so they stay where you put them rather than sliding down.

One size, unisex

Fits most adults through adjustment, so there is no sizing to work out before you order.

Packs small

Light enough to live in a daypack permanently and be there on the morning the weather turns.

Product description

About this product

Leg Gaiters – in stock at 361 Degrees Adventure in Tanzania.

Gaiters solve a small problem that ruins a day. Walk through wet grass at dawn in the Usambaras and your socks are soaked before the sun is properly up. Cross a muddy stretch and it goes over the boot top. Walk through dry grass and you spend the evening picking seeds out of your laces. A pair of these stops all of it at the knee.

These are the straightforward version – waterproof fabric, black, adjustable straps and buckles, one size that fits most adults. No membrane specification and no camouflage pattern, and consequently a price that makes them easy to own and easy to keep permanently in a daypack rather than deciding each time whether to bring them.

They fit over your trouser leg and over the boot top, so nothing can get in between, and the straps let you tighten them to your own calf and boot rather than hoping. They pack down small and weigh very little, which is the real test of whether a piece of kit like this gets used: the ones you notice carrying are the ones you leave behind.

They suit hiking and trekking anywhere in Tanzania, wet-season walking, farm and fieldwork, fishing along overgrown banks, and anyone whose walking involves grass taller than their boots. For heavy sustained rain and long days in wet conditions, our Naturehike gaiters with a 10,000 mm rating are the step up.

Questions

Good to know

Do these protect against snake bites?

No. These are weather and debris gaiters - they keep water, mud, thorns and grass seeds out of your boots. If snake protection is what you need, our snake gaiters use rigid reinforced panels and are a different product entirely.

What do they actually keep out?

Water, mud, grass seeds, small stones and forest debris. In practice the wet-grass soaking and the grass seeds are what people notice most on a Tanzanian trail.

Will they fit my boots?

One adjustable size covers most adult legs and boots. Bring your boots to the Dar es Salaam showroom and we will check the fit before you buy.

Do they ride up when pushing through bush?

Tighten the top strap and the under-boot strap properly before setting off. Gaiters ride up when they are fitted loosely, not because of the design.

How do these compare with the Naturehike gaiters?

These are the simple, affordable pair and they keep water and debris out well. The Naturehike pair adds a rated waterproof coating, a breathability figure and a three-point fastening for sustained wet weather.

Can I wear them over trousers?

Yes, that is how they go on - over the trouser leg and over the boot top, so nothing gets in between.

How do I clean them?

Brush off dried mud, rinse with water and let them dry fully before packing. Storing gaiters damp in coastal humidity is what causes mildew.

Are they hot to wear?

They add a layer to your lower legs, so you notice them in direct sun. In wet grass most people find the trade worthwhile every time.
