GAITERS

Salomon Trail Gaiters $50

Don’t kid yourself – your feet and ankles are going to take a beating while out on the trails. Gaiters may initially seem like overkill, but as you hack and slash your way through a thorny patch or along a pebbly scree field at high speeds, it’s best to have a pair keeping the elements out so you can soldier on. No one wants an errant stone in there mingling with your foot mid-mountain descent. We recommend the Salomon gaiter as it’s tough, easy to quickly adjust and just does the job right, every time.
