In keeping with the Kangri range these gaiters are perfectly suited to the rigours of hill and mountain walking in the changeable, often very, British conditions. A great set of features and Gore-Tex fabric make for a great bit of kit.
Rab says
Keep your feet dry and your mind focused with our full-length Kangri GTX Gaiter. With three-layer GORE-TEX® fabrics and 300D ankle reinforcements, it provides the perfect mix of tough mountain protection and zero-sweat breathability.
Our Kangri GTX Gaiter will keep your feet, boots and trousers dry, however hard you work. The three-layer GORE-TEX® shell with expanded PTFE membrane delivers extra breathability and toughness without any additional bulk. The 300D nylon ankle reinforcements help increase protection against debris, rock and crampon spikes but the fit remains sleek and low-profile for snag-free progress on overgrown trails. Dry even during mild weather and high-energy hikes, the Kangri GTX Gaiter also features an underfoot strap with internal adjustment to eradicate the possibility of buckle failure.
Easy to strap on, secure when fitted and quick to remove, the Kangri GTX Gaiter combines proven design, advanced fabrics and a practical feature set for class-leading mountain performance.
Our Verdict
Rab's Kangri Gore-Tex Gaiters use a combination of 70D and tough 300D reinforced Gore-Tex fabrics to provide a highly protective and durable package. Built with high quality 70D Gore-Tex 3 Layer of rthe most part, these gaiters provide a hard-wearing, protective shell over your boots that retains a surprising level of breathability for a wide range of adventures whether you're heading out in the snow or in wet, boggy conditions.
There is no lack of features in these great all-rounders. The solid Velcro closure is made more secure with a popper at the top while an elasticated strip around the ankle, elasticated drawcord around the top and a durable hook for the laces ensure they stay in place once you've put them on. The thick, durable strap that runs under the boot is great quality and has certainly worn well with regular use.
