Why boot gaiters are you guys using? I've used the Cabelas brand for the past 6-7 years now but they were stolen. I've looked at various gaiters over the years and my main issue is the material they are made from. I hate the noisy nylon exterior of most. I liked the Cablelas because they were more of a fabric and were quiet.
Thanks.

If Montana had a standing army, a 270 Win with Federal Blue Box 130's would be the standard issue.

KUIU Yukons - never know they are there, until you get into deep water crossing the creek - when your feet stay dry.

Sleeping Indian makes some awesome wool gators that'll last forever.
I also have a pair of Markhor gators that I have been mighty impressed with. The Kuiu Yukons I had were awesome too, till I ripped a hole in them.

My kenetrek gaiters did not last. I got one season on them and the seams came apart. I am hard on equipment but I expected a better product.

Hate to hear this - I bought a pair last night off Black Ovis.....................
I'm leaning Kuiu if these don't look like a quality product. I'm surprised as Kenetrek makes good products.

When I'm packing with my llamas, I have a pair of Crocs on top of a saddle. It only takes about 30 sec to swap my boots for them for deep stream crossings and about minute to put my boots back on. I like it much better than filling my boots with water.

Ok. I've never heard of those before.

I've used OR Crocs forever. My current pair is pretty worn. All the gaiters mentioned in this thread are copies of the Croc, so that might tell you something. All will obviously work, but the Kuiu is one that might have some meaningful design difference over the OR. I'd actually consider trying them based on the pictures and description. But I'm often disappointed when I actually get something in hand...
