Description
Safety in the mountains involves moving quickly over varied and difficult terrain. Outdoor Research designed the Womens Verglas Gaiters to carry light and travel fast. Whether youre kicking steps up a fragile snow finger, skinning across a glacier, or negotiating a hairy bushwhack, you cant afford to snag, rip, or be bogged down. Designed specifically for women, these gaiters feature increased volume in the calf and a shorter overall length. The asymmetrically-cut boot section provides a secure fit with leather or plastic boots, making the Verglas a functional, stout, backpacking gaiter as much as it is a serious mountaineering gaiter. The ultra-light, waterproof, breathable 3-layer Ventia leg section and the coated 500d Cordura boot section make this gaiter a more packable alternative to the OR Crocodiles. A nylon-supported rubber instep strap pulls the gaiter down and flush with your boot to seal out snow and debris. Offset the 1.5in-wide hook-and-loop front closure if you need to make room for insulated pants.
