Dan's Hunting Gear, Snake Protector, Briarproof, Waterproof, Leg Gaiters 1000D. Made in U.S.A

WOW! These are, without question, the stout-est gaiters I have ever seen. Period. End of story.I have several pairs of Outdoor Research "Croc" gaiters and love them for what they do and how they perform. However, every pair I have has "Shoo-Goo" tear repairs from errant crampon strikes. The upper section of the Croc's is only one layer thick.However, these USA made Dan's Hunting Gear gaiters are "snake proof" and double layered (at least!) throughout. They're simply on another plane of design, quality and craftsmanship.I'm pretty confident they would even survive my poor crampon accuracy and 100% sure no snake could ever bite through them.The only real short-fall/gripe I have is the lack of length at the boot level. My OR Croc's easily attach to my boot laces because they are large enough in diameter at the bottom and long enough to actually reach the bottom boot lace. These simply do not do very well in that regard (and I do have the XL size). If re-designed in that regard these would be peerless in the gaiter segment.Otherwise, I 100% percent recommend them to folks heading into snake country.Incidentally, I have no affiliation with Dan's Hunting Gear or anyone related to them and paid for these with my own funds.

They are comfy enough to work in and offer the protection I need. They easily attach and stayed in place for hours.

I like that Dans snake leggings come in different sizes. This allows the leggings to fit properly and not slide down and bunch on you ankles when walking. The arch strap also helps keep the leggings down and not ride up which limits your protection against briars and thorns. I prefer legging to slip on leather boots for protection as lace up boot provide a better experience for long walks on various inclines.

Pros: light, waterproof (morning dew doesn’t wear you down), and they don’t ride up made it comfortable.Con: buckle in the front didn’t last long (maybe a month it lasted) don’t for see the Velcro lasting long either with day in and day out use. Being a forester, our snake chaps/gaiters get put through a lot abuse.Guess I should have bought the product insurance.

These performed as advertised. Stay in position for 5+ mile hunts.would order again.

Liteweight and easy to put on. Makes me feel better with them on . We live in Alabama. Snakes here copperheads , rattlesnakes, cottonmouth- jeez. Already had encounters with 10 of these creatures. Thank God for snake gators

The snap that tightens the leg strap down broke on like my third time using them.

They arrived on time. Look and feel high quality. One of them has a button and little hook at the bottom of the velcro part, but the other side did not. This seemed really weird to me. I've used a few times now and the one without the button wants to open over time walking. Seems like QC missed this one on mine, pretty disappointing, especially when trying to support a US manufacturer.
