the very best gaiter for desert wear
I wear my Flex-Tex gaiters everyday; they are cool and breatheable, in addition to fitting excellently over a variety of styles of shoes. I never have trouble with any trail debris getting into my shoes, even in the most rocky and brushy conditions. I would recommend the Flex-Tx gaiter to hikers and runners alike.

works great in keeping wood shavings out of my shoes.
I don't go trekking but I do make wooded bowls on my wood lathe. The shavings were always filling my shoes up no matter what type I wore. This problem is a thing of the past since I received the flex-tex gaiters. No shavings in my shoes anymore.

great gaiter for its intended use!
This is a nice, very lightweight gaiter for spring/summer/fall hikes. It breathes well first of all. I like that the material is very stretchy - that makes it fit snugly on trail runners to my large hiking boots. The material is tough, but these aren't made for total abuse. Backcountry travel in heavy brush will probably rip these up a lot quicker than some 500D cordura for instance.. but if you don't find yourself spending hours off trail in heavy heavy cover, these are fantastic your general hiking, trail running, light snow, just as it is advertised.
