Gaiters for hunting

The only time I get STRANGER looks is when I'm wearing full shotgun's!

A good suggestion
Gaiters were used by the military to turn a warm weather boot into a winter boot.
Have just the boot that could be used at least for a backup for a short winter hunt up north, without spending the funds for another insulated boot.
Will look into it. Might need an "intermediate" boot, with an assist from gaiters. Thanks for the post.

Madam, I am pretty sure all here know what gaiters are. They also do not all have hook and loop closures. I don't know if they still wear them in Navy boot camp or not, but there they are called leggings.

Lawdy I hated them things! Getting that 45 degree fold over for your dungarees inside the leggings to stay put was a PAIN! Don't know if they still have them in Boot, been a while since I was in. We were still using wooden ships with sail's when I was in

5yrs old or not, I'm hoping that if people see a thread about hunting gators or half chaps, more folks will start wearing them, and then I won't get so many strange looks when I walk into a gas station wearing them after hunting!

i bought some cheapish gaiters last your off ebay but for a different reason other than leg/boot protection. I coat mine heavily with permitherone (sp?) and keep them handy, and when i hit the woods i slip them on in an effort at tick control. So far they seem to work pretty well.
