Outdoor Research Crocodile Gaiter | Wide Calf | Men’s & Women’s
Award-Winning GORE-TEX® Waterproof Leg Protection for wide calves
Men’s and women’s versions available in the size drop down.
“Crocs” are rugged gaiters, a customer favourite, and an Outdoor Research legacy accessory. The waterproof, windproof, breathable fabric keeps lower legs dry in nearly all conditions, and their fitted design keeps debris out of your socks and shoes. The triple bar-tacked BioThane® webbing and abrasion-resistant Cordura® components provide long-lasting durability. The double-stitched front closure and abrasion-resistant design make these gaiters tough enough to handle any terrain. Compatible with hiking boots, 3-season mountaineering boots, or double-shell plastic boots thanks to reinforced boot lace hooks and an instep strap.
Note: We recommend sizing down one shoe size for the best fit with lightweight hiking boots, shoes, or trail runners BUT it is more important that it fits your calves first and foremost. When wearing your gaiters properly, the instep strap buckle should lie on the side of your boot.

SIZING
SEE IMAGES FOR SIZE CHART.
To ensure an overlap, choose a size that is up to 5cm wider than the widest part of your calf.
The wide Crocodile Gaiters come in men’s and women’s fit, however, we recommend you measure your calf circumference at its largest, and the height from your anklebone to where you would like the top of your gaiters to sit (usually, just a couple of cm below the back of your knee), and choose the size that best fits those measurements.
In general, the women’s fit style is shorter in the leg, while the men’s style fits a longer leg and also a larger shoe size.
If you’re unsure, please email me with your measurements.
