Highlights

10,000 mm waterproof, under 220 g

A proper hydrostatic head rating and a breathability figure, which is more than most gaiters will tell you. Light enough to carry on the chance of rain.

10,000 mm water column

A genuine waterproof rating - the pressure of water the fabric holds out before it soaks through. Enough for heavy rain and wet grass all day.

Breathable at 5,000 g/m2/24h

Moisture gets out as well as staying out, which is the difference between dry legs and legs wet from the inside in Tanzanian heat.

Under 220 g the pair

Light enough that they live in a daypack on the chance of weather rather than being a decision each morning.

Three-point fastening

Velcro up the front, an adjustable buckle strap at the top and under-shoe hooks below, so they do not ride up in thick vegetation.

Product description

About this product

Most gaiters are described as waterproof and leave it there. These come with numbers: a PU coating rated to a 10,000 mm water column and a breathability figure of 5,000 g per square metre per 24 hours. The first is how much water pressure the fabric holds out before it wets through – 10,000 mm covers sustained heavy rain and a full day in soaked grass. The second means moisture escapes as well, which in Tanzanian heat is what stops your legs being wet from the inside instead.

The fabrics are 320D nylon over the upper section and 600D Oxford where abrasion happens, which is the right way round: the heavier cloth sits where thorns, rock and boot cuffs do the damage. The whole pair comes in under 220 g, light enough to carry on the chance of weather rather than only when rain is certain.

They stay put because of three separate fastenings. Velcro runs up the front for quick fitting, an adjustable buckle strap tightens at the top so nothing gets in over the cuff, and under-shoe hooks anchor them below. Gaiters that ride up in thick vegetation are gaiters people give up on, and these do not.

They pack into a mesh pouch – mesh so they can go away damp and still dry, which matters more here than in a dry climate. They come in black, red and orange, and suit wet-season hiking in the Usambaras and Udzungwas, Kilimanjaro and Meru, fieldwork and anything involving long wet grass.

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 does a 10,000 mm rating mean?

It is the height of a column of water the fabric holds back before it leaks. 10,000 mm is a solid figure for outdoor clothing - enough for sustained heavy rain and a full day in wet grass, not just a light shower.

Will my legs get sweaty inside them?

Less than with a plain coated gaiter. The 5,000 g/m2/24h breathability figure means moisture moves out through the fabric. In full Tanzanian heat you will still notice the layer, but they are not a plastic bag.

Will they fit my boots?

They are adjustable and fit a wide range of hiking and work boots. Bring your boots to the Dar es Salaam showroom and we will fit them before you buy.

Do they ride up in thick bush?

Not if fitted properly. The under-shoe hooks anchor the bottom and the top strap tightens against the calf. Riding up is what happens to gaiters that lack one or both.

Why is the carry pouch mesh?

So you can pack them damp and they still dry. In coastal humidity a solid stuff sack means gaiters that stay wet and eventually smell.

Are they worth it over the cheaper gaiters you sell?

If you walk in genuine wet weather, yes - the rating, the breathability and the three-point fastening are all better. For occasional use and keeping dust and seeds out, the cheaper pair does the job.

Which colour will I receive?

They come in black, red and orange. Stock rotates, so message us and we will tell you what is available before you order.

Where do these figures come from?

The measurements and weights on this page come from the supplier's own documentation rather than an independently tested manufacturer specification, and the table marks them as such. If a particular figure matters to you, ask us and we will check the item in the Dar es Salaam showroom before you buy.
