Sizing Note

Sizing boot gaiters can be a bit tricky.

Generally, if you wear full boots (Kenetreks, Danners, Lowas) and/or have large calves (size 10 and bigger) you will likely want to go with the LG. 

If you have smaller feet or calves (size 9 and smaller) or wear a lighter boot or trail shoe (Salomon, La Sportiva) you will want to go with the SM.

      Used these boot gaiters on recent winter cow elk hunt. Long underwear, jeans, thick socks, I wear the Model 882, elk tracker boots from Irish Setter. They are 12" high. My calves measure 18" around. I have a hard time closing the Velcro on these gaiters. Often I only get them half closed, meaning only 1/2" of the 1" wide Velcro is attached. My pants , boots and feet were dry after spending all day in knee deep snow. Just worried they will start to fail at the Velcro after a couple of more uses. I will recommend to friends with skinny legs only…

      Comments about Brambler Hunting Boot Gaiters

      What I like: These gaiters are beefy without feeling overly stiff and breathe really well. I was hiking in deep snow drifts (rabbit hunting with my dog) a couple of weeks ago and they worked flawlessly at keep the snow out of my boots when I got into knee-high powder. The materials are great and I think you'd have to work really hard to destroy this piece. What I don't like: I typically wear a size L in boot gaiters because they fit my Danner Sierra and Lowa Camino Evo boots well (size 10). However, the size L/XL was too large for my boots as well as my calves (small to medium sized). I had to send back the L/XL and order a pair of the S/M. This latter pair works but I feel like First Lite should offer a more granular size offering (M, L, XL, XXL) similar to Kuiu, Kennetrek, OR, etc... Would I recommend these to a friend? Only with the caveat provided above.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

      Q

      What if you have a size 8.5 full length Kenetrek boot? Sm/m or Lg/Xl

      Asked by ERNIE
      Verified Reply - NathanIf you typically wear a size 8.5 boot, I would recommend purchasing the Brambler Gaiters in size SM/MD.
      Q

      Maybe a stupid question, but will these offer any protection against snake bites?

      Asked by EG
      Verified Reply - KyleWe don't advertise these as being snake-bite-proof. If you need something that can protect you against snakes I would recommend finding a brand/item that specializes in snake bite-proof gaiters!
      Q

      I use kenatrek boots size 9 will l/xl work for me not overly large calf's

      Asked by Todd
      Verified Reply - KyleYou're right in the middle of sizes. I'd probably go with the smaller size and be prepared to exchange it if it doesn't fit. If they're too big on you, you can't tighten them down enough and they don't function properly. Generally, if you wear full boots (Kenetreks, Danners, Lowas) and/or have large calves (size 10 and bigger) you will likely want to go with the LG. If you have smaller feet or calves (size 9 and smaller) or wear a lighter boot or trail shoe (Salomon, La Sportiva) you will want to go with the SM.
      Q

      Will this fit around a 21" calf

      Asked by Jake
      Verified Reply - NathanUnfortunately I do not believe the Brambler Hunting Boot Gaiters will accommodate a 21" calf. That being said, please feel free to make a purchase in an attempt to utilize them anyway! So long as your purchase is made at full MSRP, we will cover the cost of your return shipping for any/all returns for a refund if necessary.
      Q

      I see that large is recommended for full size boots. I wear the caulked Meindl Kootenai boot from Hoffman at work. Will these fit over that boot?

      Asked by Forester
      Verified Reply - CodyYes, a size LG/XL would fit!
      Q

      Does this pair or the other pair of gaiters you sell have any type of snake bite protection?

      Asked by MDW
      Verified Reply - KyleThis gaiter is not designed for snake bite protection. Go with a different product that advertises those features.
      Q

      How do I replace the bottom strap ? Is there a repair kit ? Both have worn through and split in half where it goes under the boot. I don't walk on pavement or concrete. I hunt the Appalachians which is rocky. Let me know. I wear these all the time. There's plenty of life left in them if there's some type of repair kit.
