Outdoor Research Crocodile gaiters are incredibly robust and, therefore, perfect for mountaineering and challenging expeditions. It is made using a 3-layer Gore-Tex fabric, which provides excellent breathability, durability, and weather protection. Furthermore, they are reinforced with a 2-layer Cordura fabric in the lower part. This is very practical because this part is very exposed to tears from crampons. Even though the Cordura fabric is sturdier than the Gore-Tex material, it does not significantly decrease the breathability.
On the contrary, Cordura fabric is known for being very breathable. The Crocodile gaiters are also equipped with double-stitched Velcro front entries so you can fit them quickly and easily. The instep straps are made by BioThane – which is durable. Also, the straps are coated with a protective film and feature lace hooks to ensure that they stay firmly on your boots.
Finally, the top closures use cam buckles to allow quick adjustments to the right fit. The Outdoor Research Gore-Tex Crocodile is not the lightest product, but they rank number one because they provide outstanding durability and functionality.
