james macnee Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 Hello. Just wondering what gaiters any of you would recommend. I will be using them mainly for when I'm stalking. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorianbuilders Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 I've had the Harkilla ones for a number of years now mate and they've been good, just have to keep replacing the elastic straps but they're pence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumpy69 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 for stalking I prefer the neoprene gaiters like these http://www.macgaiters.co.uk/index.asp I find the regular style gaiters make too much noise when walking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) I have some Loden ones as quiet as it gets, get this - over ten years old! there are days its too wet and boggy for boots and gaiters but I go though even the best willies in a year. why does auto correct always kick in on that word Edited January 27, 2014 by kent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MBW Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Trespass finest I get about two seasons (August to feb) grouse and pheasant beating three/four days a week. They cost a tenner, if they're knacked after one season then it's not a big deal to chuck them, I've tried a lot of the deer hunter and other shooting oriantated gaiters and they usually don't last the grouse season, can't comment on the more expensive ones ie harkila or black islander but affordable gaiters I highly reccomend trespass !

everycal Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Duck Dri make good ones. Handmade in UK and great value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 I use trespass too. Completely waterproof and much harder wearing than I expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wacker Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Black islander are the ones to go for. Most hill stalkers use them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Geordie Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 I bought a set from Yorkshire Trading for £15! Rip stop material! Stud fastners over the top and buttom of the zip! Velcro storm flap! Elasticated adjustable tops! I have had them 3 year now and they are still spot on. Filthy but good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james macnee Posted January 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Cheers for the suggestions. I quite like the look of the black islander ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theshootist Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 I like the army snow gaiters. The older ones that were just OG colour, the newer snow gaiters are a copy of the Yeti Attak. The general issue gaiters I find too heavy and are just nasty. These are the older OG snow gaiters. Cheaper option and have served me well. They zip at the back and have a simple rubber stirrup strap. If you want the ultimate weather protection get a ser of the Yetis and glue them to your boots!

D_No Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 I've just nipped into Cotswolds and bought a pair of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/Trekmates%C2%AE-Softshell-Gaiter-Large-XLarge/dp/B005FK3ZNO for £15 (half price by their reckoning) out tomorrow and preparing for the worst, never bothered with gaiters before but I thought at that price, it's hard to go wrong!
