Stretch Short Gaiters

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

The Stretch Short Gaiters are a mid-height, low profile debris gaiter with good breathability and a low weight. Simple, effective and comfortable for a range of activities. 

Montbell says: 

Whether out for a day or a month nothing is more important than protecting your feet and high on the list of irritants
would be random trail debris. Sized to fit over running shoes or light hikers these trail saviors are very low profile. The
durability of the adjustable shock cord stirrup is enhanced by the use of a polyurethane tube covering. These simple,
light, yet useful stretch gaiters are sure to keep you moving “Light & Fast®” through the seasons. *Stuff sack not
included. *Dura strap included.

Our Verdict

Montbell’s Stretch Short Gaiters are a super stretchy debris gaiter that are lightweight and durable. Ideally suited to drier conditions they still have a DWR treatment for damp conditions. The 140D fabric is hardwearing and yet surprisingly stretchy so they can fit mid sized boots down to trail shoes. The shock cord that runs under the gaiter to keep them in place does a good job but they will wear quite quickly on hard rocks surfaces like the granites of the Cairngorms. They are perfect for fast and light trekking through to trail running.
