Outdoor Research Bugout Gaiters

Outdoor Research Bugout Gaiters

Hiking gaiters will keep rocks, grit, burrs and pine needles out of your boots, but the Outdoor Research Bugout Gaiters will also keep mosquitoes, ticks, ants, flies and chiggers out, keeping you focused on logging miles instead of swatting and dumping shoes every few hundred steps. These boot gaiters are made from durable 8 oz nylon packcloth and treated with a chemical repellent called Insect Shield which is odorless, EPA-registered and good for 70 washings. Offered in 4 sizes to give you the perfect fit over hiking boots or shoes, the double-riveted lace hook and the ultra-durable Hypalon instep strap will keep them snug. From field research in Nicaragua to a day hike during tick season in the coastal foothills of California, the Outdoor Research Bugout Gaiters are ideal for any adventure where youll be rubbing elbows with hungry bugs.

Very Nice and super light weight!
Great fit, and I was amazed at how once they were on, so easy to get on and off after you had them adjusted. You never know you have them on they are so light weight. Can't wait for bug season to check them out, but I know they will work perfect for the scree and dust. Awesome lite weight gators. Even my girlfriend liked hers.

great for work or recreation in tick and chigger infested areas
I bought these gaiters for fieldwork in areas known for abundant ticks and chiggers, and they've made me happy. The gaiters are lightweight, appear to be constructed of durable materials, and fit well over 8" high workboots. After a couple trials, I'm convinced they reduce the amount of nasties getting through to ankles and other less pleasant body parts.

Not bad
Work well in dry cond. Bugoff did repell ticks. Bottom band held up over 90 miles of AT trekking

Nice light weight gaitors
They fit well, are easy to get on and off, and the strap that goes under the shoe is beefy. It isn't replace-able, as far as I can tell, but at this price I'll buy another pair when these wear out.
