to endure harsh temperatures, rough terrain and use with crampons or skis.

clothing worn in extreme conditions

leather telemark boots; these do not fit boots with buckles

protection; lined with Cordura® nylon for durability

packcloth to deflect nicks from skis and crampons

The Outdoor Research Expedition Crocodiles Gaiters are large enough to wrap
around plastic mountaineering boots and thick, insulated pants, and the
Gore-Tex and Cordura fabrics provide waterproof protection. Outdoor Research
made these mountaineering gaiters with three-layer Gore-Tex on the upper leg
sections and durable Cordura on the inner leg and boot section, so your
pants, socks, and legs stay dry on ice climbing ascents. Plus, your crampons
won't snag on the insides of these gaiters. Attach the hook on the
Expedition Crocodiles to your boot laces, tighten the top cinch-strap, and
fasten the urethane-coated nylon instep strap. A hook-and-loop tab at the
bottom keeps the front of these gaiters closed.
Bottom Line:
Keeping insulated pants and plastic boots dry isn't a problem when you have
Outdoor Research's large-circumference Expedition Crocodiles.
