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

Calf protectors designed for use in rugged terrain. They effectively protect against snow, water, mud, bushes, and rocks. Gaiters are made from waterproof, abrasion, and tear-resistant nylon with elements of flexible and breathable VersaStretch® material.
The protectors are fastened with a sturdy Velcro along their entire length and attached to the shoe with a metal hook latching onto the shoelace. The gaiters feature an adjustable strap made from hypalon – a material exceptionally resistant to abrasion and weather conditions.
They effectively protect pants 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 protects against contaminants entering the footwear.

Woodland Camouflage
Woodland, also known as US Woodland or M81, is a classic camouflage pattern introduced to the US military in the early 1980s, based on 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 patches in shades of green, brown, beige, and black, providing excellent concealing and disrupting properties, especially in forested areas. Thanks to its effectiveness and global recognition, it has seen numerous variations adopted by over 60 military formations worldwide. This pattern has also had a significant influence on pop culture, transitioning from military use to everyday fashion.

Great quality, well-thought-out design, and the biggest advantage is that it's a Polish manufacturer. I can't rate the usage yet, as I bought the gaiters with the intention of using the Wildwood camo Cordura to sew something else, but they definitely deserve a high rating.
-
Gaiters are something you can do without during walks, but after the first use in the forest, your opinion changes. 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 larger legs, but unfortunately they didn't work out. The construction and functionality themselves are fine, but they don't fit on a calf above 40 cm below the knee. Now my friend uses them and is very satisfied.
-
For this price, it's really a very good choice. The design and workmanship are solid. The Velcro in the front of the shoe especially appealed to me—a great solution. The elastic material in the back makes them fit the leg well, which makes them comfortable. I'll write about durability after some more use.
-
Solid gaiters, made from durable materials and quite breathable – essential for winter mountain trips, they work perfectly in fresh snow.
-
Very comfortable gaiters, excellently made and from good materials. The front closure uses Velcro and a buckle, and of course there’s also a hook for the laces, and a VersaStretch breathable panel at the back. The camo Wildwood version looks fantastic.
-
Very good gaiters, made of durable and waterproof materials. I mainly bought them thinking about protection against ticks during forest walks, not for walking in dew or snow. I'm very satisfied, especially since I managed to get them at a promotional price.
-
The gaiters are some of the best made I have ever seen. The color is eye-catching, the stitching is neat, and the solutions are practical. High quality parts used in production. I think they will last a very long time. I've always had good experiences with this company and can recommend their products.
-
Durable gaiters that perform well in snow, rain, and mud. Once you adjust the size, they hold very well and are easy and quick to put on. They look great. The only downside, in my opinion, is the poor breathability, so with intense effort, they might cause your calves to sweat.
-
I’m taking off one star because the "universal size" doesn’t work for larger calves – fastening is difficult then. However, the gaiters themselves are very well made, the materials are high quality, so I definitely recommend them for demanding trips.
-
The gaiters stand out with excellent build quality. The color is very attractive, the stitching and details are well thought out. Very practical and solidly made, with high-grade components used. I'm convinced they will last for years. Products from this brand have never let me down. Highly recommend!
-
Great quality, very durable gaiters that hardly rustle at all. They worked perfectly in swamps, bogs, and wet areas. The Cordura and VersaStretch turned out to be very solid and performed even in tough conditions. I can't wait to test them in the mountains in winter.
-
They work well. You can buy Ultrathon for ticks and use it on the Cordura material. However, keep in mind that the product can leave stains on light elements – but if someone uses them purely functionally, it probably won’t bother them. That’s enough!
-
They do their job. I’ve been using them for the third season and so far have no complaints. I recommend them.
