Excellent for day hikes on damp days and cross-country ski shoes during snowy dumps, these Outdoor Research Flex-Tex Low Gaiters feature a Spandura fabric that stretches to mold over your boot and shoe contours. A 1-in. wide Velcro closure in front helps keep everything attached although you can use the boot lace hook to minimize tight-fit tension. The included nylon instep laces withstand plenty of wear through several seasons.
