Who makes the best gaiters in your opinion and why...

Not sure they are the best but they work for me at a decent price.

I bought these several months ago, but haven't tried them yet. The quality seems good. That much I can say. Glad you like them Wheels! That makes me feel better.

They work well for me. I wear them with short boots....just above the ankle and have never had an issue. I'm not sure how they would work on below the ankle shoes. A gap might form and allow grass seeds into the socks.

Hope you have good success with yours.

I Looked at them at the DSC. I settled on the ones made by TAG in Zimbabwe. They are leather with top and bottom snap and shoe lace hook. They also have velcro closure for backup. Very nice IMHO.

I've ordered a pair from Rowland Ward. I will give my first impression of them as soon as they reach Wyoming. For what it's worth , heym , the tags would be my second choice. They look to be very well made.

thanks!!

I think they will work great. I will be wearing 7 inch Russell's (Thula Thula), so definitely above the ankle! With pants I might not even need them, although I'm going to at least try shorts and see how that goes.

I've used Boyt gaiters on three trips to Africa and I finally threw in the towel on them. In my opinion they ride up making them too short and they cut off the circulation in my legs. They say one size fita all, but I'd like to meet "all". I'm not big, either

I used the Courtney ones this time around. When crawling I pulled them up to protect my knees on the sharp stuff. It took the edge off of the pokes and the gaiters still look new. Not a single scuff mark! I was surprised as I expected them to look abused.
