BERGHAUS YETI ATTAK £95

The Yetis first established their reputation during the 1982 Falklands War, when they were used by Royal Marines yomping across the islands’ rugged terrain. Although it requires a fair bit of muscle to actually fit them to footwear, once they’re on, they stay on, offering uber-tough protection for the boggiest walks and fully encasing your lower legs almost up to the knee. VERDICT A tried and tested, old school Gore-Tex gaiter best used with traditional stiff-soled leather boots, but ideal for keeping feet dry in the deepest bogs and stickiest mud.
