Overview

Waterproof snow gaiters from Tour, standing 16.5 inches tall and built from 600D oxford fabric to keep snow and slush out of boots during winter hikes, snowshoeing and ski touring. A drawstring top, full-length hook-and-loop closure and rubber instep strap hold them in place over a range of boot sizes.

At 16.5 inches these sit well above the ankle, closer to a full winter gaiter than a low trail style, with taped seams and reinforced kick panels at the heel and toe where crampons or ski edges cause the most wear. The instep strap uses layered rubber for grip under the boot arch rather than a single thin cord.

  • 16.5 inch tall coverage
  • 600D waterproof oxford fabric with taped seams
  • Triple-layer rubber instep strap with heavy-duty buckle
  • Full-length hook-and-loop closure plus top drawstring

Who it's for

Fits winter hikers, snowshoers and hunters who need real snow exclusion above the ankle. Not the right pick for summer trail use or anyone wanting a low, barely-there gaiter.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • 16.5 inch height covers well above the ankle
  • 600D oxford fabric with taped seams for wet snow
  • Reinforced kick panels at high-wear points
  • Rubber instep strap with heavy-duty buckle resists slipping
Cons
  • No size chart given for boot compatibility
  • Taller height adds bulk versus a low trail gaiter

Performance notes

600D oxford fabric and taped seams are what keep water out at this height, while the abrasion-resistant kick panels protect the areas that take the most contact from boot buckles, crampons or ski edges. The triple-layer rubber instep strap and heavy-duty buckle are what stop the gaiter riding up, which is the usual failure point on tall winter gaiters.
