Gaiter question…

Dirty Girl gaiters also use front hook/rear velcro, though most other gaiters use front hook/strap underneath.

For knee-length gaiters, check out the MLD snow gaiters, but they also have a strap underneath (though it’s a bungie strap, so you can tension it to hold where others might not).

You could also use any gaiter and just sew velcro on the back if you wish.

Altra and Dirty Girl gaiters are primarily for keeping dirt, twigs, sand, and the usual trail detritus out of your shoes, and for that they work great!

if you’re talking about knee-high gaiters, are you talking about deep snow/winter mountaineering? There are loads of options for that, though if you’re dealing with that much snow (.g., knee-deep and no snowshoes) Lone Peaks mi9ght not be your best option.

Maybe if you cold provide a little more information you might get more helpful answers.

Full disclosure: I’m a Dirty Girl ;-)

Strap or cording under the Altra would NOT last. Dirty Girl gaiters are the way to go for summer travel and NO snow.

Thank you for the responses….I’ll be fine with the Altras, was just hoping there was a taller & slightly looser style with the same attachment method.

Dirty Girls get a lot of love on this site. Another gaiter manufacturer is Joe Trailman.  They make an excellent gaiter that is similar to the Dirty Girls.
