Superb equipment, well worth the additional price
By Daniel D. Miller
I have used Black Diamond gaiters for over a decade, for climbing through chaparral and other heavy brush. They were rugged and robust, and held up to whatever I encountered.
When my first set finally wore out, I decided to save some money the second time, and go with Outdoor Designs Alpine Gaiters... this, sadly, was a bad move; sometimes you really *do* get what you pay for. I commented on my experience with those gaiters on the product page, but for this review I will just summarize with "unacceptable".
So now I've gone back to Black Diamond; I went hiking up in Sunol Regional Wilderness yesterday, and these held up just as well as my previous pair did! It's very nice to have quality equipment again...

Ist gaiters
By scaffman
This is the first pair of gaiters I have owned. After reading several reviews on several different gaiters it seem for the money this was the pair to buy for my needs. I hike everyday and now live in Montana. I wanted a pair that would last me. No reason to buy a new pair every year when I can spend a little more money and have a pair that will last. They have worked well since they have arrived. They keep my pants dry, the snow out, and my legs warm. They are easy to put on and seem well made. I have only owned them for about a month now and have used them everyday. Winter has just started here and only have about a foot of snow. But they seem like they will do there job very well. I would buy them again if i had to do it over. I am sure with proper care they will last me for years. The only thing i don't like is the plastic stir up. Wish it would have been leather. Not sure how the plastic will survive in the cold snow. But when it cracks and wears out I replace it with
leather. I don't see the gaiters wearing out.
