The shoes perfectly protect the feet. So far they have worked very well, I have no complaints. Ideal for autumn conditions. They're very easy to clean, I can definitely recommend them. When walking in the forest, they provide great protection not only against dirt and moisture but also against plants.

Calf gaiters designed for use in rugged terrain. They effectively protect against snow, water, mud, bushes, and rocks. The gaiters are made from waterproof, abrasion- and tear-resistant nylon with elements of flexible and breathable material VersaStretch®.
The protectors are fastened with a solid velcro along the entire length and attached to the shoe with a metal hook secured to the shoelace. The gaiters feature an adjustable strap made from hypalon – a material exceptionally resistant to abrasion and weather conditions.
They effectively protect trousers from dirt, soaking, and damage. Once worn, they cover the legs from the knees to the ankles, including the upper part of the shoes. This type of construction prevents debris from entering the footwear.

Woodland camouflage
Woodland, also known as US Woodland or M81, is a classic camouflage pattern introduced to the US armed forces in the early 1980s, modelled after the earlier ERDL camouflage. For over two decades, it remained the standard pattern used by the US military until the end of the first decade of the 21st century. It features large, irregular splotches in shades of green, brown, beige, and black, providing good concealment and distortion properties, especially in forested areas. Due to its effectiveness and global recognition, it has inspired numerous variations adopted by over 60 military formations worldwide. This pattern has also made a significant impact on pop culture, transitioning from military to everyday fashion.

Great quality, well-thought-out design, and the biggest advantage is that it’s a Polish manufacturer. I can’t rate usage yet, because I bought the gaiters with the intention of using the Wildwood camo Cordura to sew something else, but they certainly deserve a high rating.

Gaiters are something you can do without when walking, but after the first use in the forest, you change your mind. Everyone who walks or picks mushrooms should have them. You can also spray them with tick repellent, and then you don’t have to worry about ticks :).
-
I bought these gaiters hoping they would be suitable for people with thicker legs, but unfortunately they didn’t work out. The construction and functionality themselves are fine, but they don’t fit a calf above 40 cm below the knee. Now my friend uses them and is very happy.

At this price, it’s really a very good choice. The design and workmanship are solid. The Velcro at the front of the boot was particularly to my liking – a great solution. The elastic material at the back means they fit well to the leg, which makes them comfortable. I’ll write about durability after a longer time of use.

Solid protectors made of durable materials and quite breathable – essential for winter mountain trips, they work perfectly in fresh snow.

Very comfortable gaiters, excellently made from good materials. The front fastening uses Velcro and a buckle, of course there is also a hook for laces, and at the back a breathable VersaStretch panel. The Wildwood camo version looks great.

Very good gaiters, made of durable and waterproof materials. I bought them mainly with protection against ticks in mind during woodland walks, not for walking in dew or snow. I am very satisfied, especially since I managed to buy them at a promotional price.

The gaiters are some of the best made I have seen. The colour catches the eye, the stitching is neat and the solutions are practical. The parts used in production are of high quality. I think they will last a very long time. I have always had good experiences with this company and can recommend their products.

Durable gaiters that work well in snow, rain, and mud. Once the size is adjusted, they stay on very well, and they're easy and quick to put on. They look great. The only downside, in my opinion, is poor breathability, so with intense effort they may cause your calves to sweat.

I deduct one star because the 'universal size' doesn’t work for larger calves – fastening is difficult then. However, the gaiters themselves are made very well, the materials are top quality, so I definitely recommend them for demanding trips.

The gaiters stand out for their excellent workmanship. The colour is very attractive, the seams and details are well thought out. Very practical and solidly made, with high-quality components used. I am convinced they will last for years. Products from this brand have never let me down. I honestly recommend them!

Excellent quality, very durable gaiters that almost don’t rustle. They performed brilliantly in marshes, peat bogs and wet terrain. Cordura and VersaStretch proved very sturdy and did even in difficult conditions. I can’t wait to test them in the mountains in winter.
-
They work well. You can buy additional Ultrathon against ticks and apply it to the Cordura material. However, you need to remember that the product may leave stains on light-coloured parts – but if you use them for functional purposes, it shouldn't bother you. That's enough!
-
They serve their purpose. I’ve been using them for the third season now and have no complaints so far. I recommend them.
