Outdoor Research X-Gaiters

Outdoor Research was founded on the X-Gaiter which was industry-revolutionising. The current version of the X-Gaiter provides unprecedented warmth, a streamlined fit with minimal bulk and a lightweight construction versatile enough to tackle your favourite mountain sports. A rugged stretch double weave ripstop provides protection from the elements and is enhanced by a stretchy, snug neoprene along the ankle and back of calf. A neoprene circumference grips your boot and stays put without slipping while a hook-and-loop closure allows easy on/off even when wearing mitts. Compression-resistant, warm PrimaLoft® Aerogel covers your toes and entire lower half of your boot and an adjustable shock cord is easily used and field-maintainable in emergencies. Compatible with mountaineering boots as well as ski touring boots, the X-Gaiter does the work, and provides the protection, of a traditional high-altitude boot without the cost, bulk, or limited use.
