"Crocs have been the gaiters of choice for many a Backpacker editor for the past decade or so." - Backpacker Magazine Editors' Choice Gold Award
Description
Like their namesakes, Crocs have been around forever -- and for very good reason. The Gore-Tex lined Outdoor Research Crocodiles are the only gaiters ever to win Backpacker Magazine's Editors' Choice Gold Award, making them the best of the best among all outdoor gear.
The instep strap of this gaiter is now replaceable, and an additional tab holds the front opening down, but otherwise they remain unchanged. The fitted design and durable, waterproof fabrics are as effective now as ever.
