Rattlesnakes are venomous snakes that have been found in the United States. I've spent the last 50 years in snake territory. Because of the denim and air pocket, loose heavy denim alone can reduce about two-thirds of the venom produced by a snake bite. avg. 150psi. These gaiters are thin, but they add another layer to the jeans, as well as an extra air pocket. Which can't hurt, so I feel pretty safe in the backcountry with them on, though this depends on whether the strike was direct or indirect. This is just my personal opinion based on my use of the product. Snake boots with a real snake gaiter are the best protection. I hope this information is useful.
The size of the crocodile has an impact on the outcome.
When they're brand new, they're a little stiff. They break in well and become more malleable as time goes on. When properly sized and fitted, they sit snugly while still being comfortable, so they don't rub against each other while walking. Because the disablement of the brush and branches moving, cracking, and being crushed under your feet is louder than the brush rubbing against the gaitors, the noise from the brush rubbing against the gaitors will become insignificant. This product comes highly recommended, and I recommend watching a video on YouTube to learn how to properly fit them. There is a proper procedure that, if followed correctly, will result in the product performing flawlessly. Simply type in "properly fitting OR gaiters" into your search engine.
No, it cannot be replaced. It would need to be redone. Nylon patch tread was used to sew the patch. If you're slapping the gaiters so hard, it's time to call it a day. Chaps is the place to be.
Selected User Reviews For Outdoor Research Men's Crocodile Gaiters
They are well-made and extremely long-lasting. These are worth their weight in gold for protecting your expensive snow pants from being shredded at the end of each trip if you're uncoordinated and frequently trip while wearing crampons (like me). They're simple to put on and keep water out of your boots when you're crossing a stream. There isn't much I can say about these that isn't positive - Simply amazing.
I originally purchased these in an xl size because I am a large man, but they were far too large. The large was ideal, with excellent gaiters and a great fit.
I recently used it with my low top hiking shoes on a cub scout outing on a night hike. Despite the fact that the snow was up to 8 inches deep in some places, my feet and legs remained dry the entire hike, and I didn't even notice the yucca plants along the trail.
These were purchased for a winter pheasant hunt in South Dakota, where they were used to keep dry from the knees down while walking through snow all day. These were ideal for the job. This chair is both comfortable and practical. It's impossible to make a mistake with this.
The gaiters are fantastic. They're easy to put on and take off, and they're a good fit.
I'm a 14 in boot size. And this was exactly what I needed. They were designed to fit perfectly and stay in place, and they did exactly that.
It's the most durable in its class, which means it's a little heavy, but that's a good thing. Crocodiles are sufficiently stiff and tall to avoid slipping down even if the top plastic lock is accidentally opened (which unfortunately happens occasionally if the snow level is above knee-high). level). Velcro, as seen in Crocodiles' "Expedition" series, would be ideal. If you bend the lace hook properly, it will work fine. Lower-leg gaiters are a little wider than upper-leg gaiters. If you're not paying attention, you might get a crampon tooth at calf level. It would be fantastic to have an elastic band there, similar to what Deuter has, etc. When I tried something similar- After the retirement of the beloved Crocodiles, eVent Rab Latok Alpine gaiters were priced like a child's toy - Light, delicate, and lacking in persuasion and credibility. As a result, Rab is only acceptable to me for three seasons. I've already placed an order for a new pair of Crocodiles - They truly are "My prized possessions"- kind- gear.
