I used them for 5 days while hiking in the Bieszczady Mountains, practically on the move all day. Temperatures ranged between 16 and 22 degrees, there was quite a bit of rain and mud, but there were also periods of intense sun during clear spells. They are very comfortable to wear and perform their job excellently. They seem to be very durable. Thanks to my boots, I could keep them fastened all the time, and putting them on only took a minute, which is especially convenient with constantly changing weather. Overall, I am very satisfied with the purchase.
Gaiters with a hook to attach to a shoelace, steel braided cord to put on in front of the heel and an elastic ankle band. The gaiters are made of moisture and abrasion-resistant polyurethane-coated polyester. The model uses RipStop weave, which increases the material's tear resistance. The zipper with a protective flap at the front makes them quick and easy to put on. The wide range of adjustment allows for a precise fit over shoes.
They protect the legs and feet from getting wet and frozen, preventing snow from getting into the shoe upper and water from dripping from wet legs. They work in rain and snow as well as in mud. They reduce the risk of soiling and damaging your shoes.

Excellent shoe gaiters that are especially useful in the field. I had a problem with my trouser legs slipping out of my boots, which caused all sorts of things to get into my boots that I didn’t want there, and this gaiter solved it.
-
I bought these gaiters for walking through mud and undergrowth while photographing animals. They perform very well: wet grass doesn’t soak my boots, mud doesn’t dirty my trousers, and ticks have a harder time getting under my clothing, with quite a few of them staying on the gaiters themselves. The steel cable is a very well-thought-out solution. What surprised me, however, was the considerable condensation — after a few hours of walking, the inside is completely wet, as if it had been splashed with water, so they need to be wiped out or dried, although the material itself does not absorb it. The second surprise was the feeling of cold under my knees, because the elastic fits snugly and there is no layer of air in that spot between the trousers and the calf. In summer, on the other hand, they can get quite hot. The zips work smoothly, and putting them on is hassle-free. I recommend them, because this is truly a successful product.

I bought these gaiters with hiking in mind and they do their job excellently. They effectively protect against mud, snow and water, so shoes and trousers stay dry even in tough conditions. The material appears to be durable, nothing is tearing, and the fastenings hold firmly. They fit well on the leg and don't slip down while walking. Putting them on is easy and quick. At this price, it's a very practical and highly recommended product.
-
Everything is fine, but if only the manufacturer installed the buckles on the correct side: one is correct, the other is on the opposite side. It's a 5-minute fix, but it's unpleasant.
-
Great option for winter trips to the mountains. The steel carrying cable is an advantage, the zip works smoothly and doesn't let water in. They seem well-made, and after the first use in the mountains I have no complaints.
-
A practical gadget for winter or muddy days. Putting it on is not a big problem. The steel cable is under the sole, but its attachment to the eco-leather strap raises doubts about durability. Time will tell how long they will last. If the price was lower, I would rate it 10/10.

Mil-Tec military gaiters - Black work great during winter and rainy autumn. They are waterproof, though I also recommend treating them with waterproofing spray. They are solid and look good.
-
The product matches the description. It fits the leg well. I hope it will prove itself both during rainy hikes and walks on dewy grass or in the snow in winter, protecting my trousers from getting wet.
-
The gaiters are well made. They effectively protect trousers and shoes from moisture, dirt and damage.
-
They fulfil their role well – they protect footwear and trousers from dirt, water and scratches.
-
Despite the few reviews, I am happy with the purchase. They worked well when walking on half-a-metre deep snow. They fit best on an average-sized foot.
-
Despite the few opinions, I don't regret buying them. They worked well in snow half a metre deep. They fit better on a medium-sized leg.
-
Well made, equipped with a sturdy hook and a strap for fastening under the heel; the width and drawstring are rather suited for a leg of medium thickness.
-
They are very comfortable to wear, easy and quick to put on, and perform very well.
