Trail running gaiters fit tight to the boot and lower legs. The result, fewer shoe issues while out hunting.
In our part of the world, annual grasses are very prolific due to the seed burrs and foxtails that hitchhike along on your shoes, pants and socks.
To combat this I’ve incorporated a new piece of gear, the trail running gaiter. It has 3 benefits in addition to keeping debris out of my boots:
- Keeps your pant cuffs contained so they don’t catch of brush and limbs
- Resistant to rain and dew on grass.
- Covers up boot laces so branches don’t pull them undone at the most inopportune time.
The ones pictured above are REI trail running gaiters but there are gaiters available from hunting retailers that carry Sitka Gear and Kenetrek products as well. Try some on your next hunt.
