Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, place the gaiter around the ankle and fasten the adjustable wrap securely. Ensure the under-boot strap is positioned across the arch of your shoe; tighten the strap so the gaiter is pulled snug against the heel cup to prevent gaps. For care, keep the gaiters clean by brushing off dried mud after every hike. If they become heavily soiled, hand wash them with lukewarm water and a technical gear cleaner. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach, as these can compromise the waterproof GORE-TEX membrane. Always allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat sources like radiators or open fires.
