Without a doubt. I plan on hiking the JMT with these in August. My usual hiking shoes are dirty girl gators, but they aren't as durable as these. I tested these theories on a nighttime trail race that I ran the other day - 14 miles I was very pleased with their performance!
Selected User Reviews For Ultimate Direction FK Gaiter
This pair of gaiters has pleased me quite a bit. These shoes are used mainly for running on trails where I come into contact with mud, rocks, and All of that has been kept out so far thanks to them. They can't completely prevent a deep water step, but they can help shield splashes that are thrown from one foot to the next. My hoka speedgoats don't fit as well as the other shoes (I have Altra, Hoka, La Sportiva), though my Altra shoes fit as good. I see a high level of quality in the material. Snaps do not come undone when I am running, and Velcro stays in place. The thorns on my shoes have not pulled or torn me as well as they have on mine. During my most recent snowshoeing excursion, I used these. I did not have to worry about snow getting into my boots.
The item is hard to get a feel for the sizing and effectiveness of due to its size and weight. As a reference, I wear a size 12 pair of Altra Lone Peak 4 trail shoes. At 192 pounds and 5'5", I am 6'2 and weigh 195 pounds. The calves on my legs aren't huge, nor are the ankles on my feet. I should be a large based on the sizing chart. The large was ultimately bought, as well as the medium. After receiving the large, I tried them on and they fit very well, almost too As a result, I would suggest sticking with the sizing chart unless you have string beans on your Velcro is strong and I really like the snap that is a second way to keep the velcro There is nothing like neoprene about the material used, but it appears to be quality and rather thick. There is no sweat accumulation in these gaiters like there would be in neoprene. I like the fact that the strap that goes under my shoe is solid and thin, and fits smoothly between the lugs of my shoes. My first impression, quality, and fit are all good. I haven't trail tested those yet, but so far, I'm happy with them.
They're snug, but more effective than I thought they would be. Used them with my Hoka Speedgoats. Excellent! I give it two.
I had to return these running shorts because I got them for a 100k race. Hoka Speed Goats are my go-to running shoes. I usually wear the biggest size that will fit my foot Moreover, they appeared to be too complicated for me - by the time I finished the run, I was worried that I would be fiddling with them every step of the way. My order was received in good time, and I am pleased with the fit and simplicity of the dirty girl gaiters.
Wearing 10 is the right size for me. The 5 to 11 is too small for me I ordered a large. It was too tight when I tried to put it on. We sent it back to you.
On my daily walks in the high desert of New Mexico I wear these gaiters to keep stickers and dust from getting into my shoes. The product seems to be very good.
The pants are great for running. I wore them for a 10 mile run in the I didn't get dirt or rocks in my shoes like I usually do. In addition, I did not notice these on at all once I started working. I feel like I got a good deal on this. It is also nice that the strap underneath can be replaced if and when it breaks in the future.
The last time I backpacking in the high mountains, I went off-trail scree skiing without each shoe getting filled with pebbles. La Sportiva Akasha 44 is what I wear. A gaitor of the same size as the one pictured, size 5. My experience with their water resistance confirms their claim. Although it rained last night, my feet stayed dry save for the toe boxes exposed. What makes this product stand out is that the straps are replaceable and adjustable. My knowledge suggests that these will last you for much longer than any other gaitor. Although this product is pricey at first, replacement straps are only a couple of dollars so if you are going to be using this a lot, it is a great A final tip is to wear tall socks like darn toughs that extend over your gaiters. In addition, it will create a tighter seal, so the comfortable feeling will be increased. I would give this product 5 stars overall.
