Our Verdict
The Trekmates Orchy DRY Gaiters are lightweight, low-profile ankle gaiters designed specifically for use with approach shoes. They are made with Trekmates' DRY Protect technology, which makes them durably waterproof and breathable - an ideal combination for keeping your feet dry yet ventilated on the trail.
These gaiters feature a simple hook and loop front closure for easy on/off. They utilize a tough replaceable underfoot strap to prevent riding up or slipping. A metal laces hook further secures the gaiters in place. Despite their compact low-profile design tailored for approach shoes and trainers, the Orchy DRY Gaiters still provide appreciated waterproof and breathable protection.
With a weight of just 81 grams per pair and a one-size-fits-most design, the Orchy DRY Gaiters make an ultralight and packable option for adding waterproof defense to your footwear system. Their minimalist versatility works well for hikers and backpackers looking to shield their approach shoes from trail moisture.
Our verdict is that the Trekmates Orchy DRY Gaiters are an excellent choice for their intended lightweight hiking/approach shoe use. The waterproof breathable construction, easy hook/loop closure, replaceable strap, and low weight are clear pros. The only potential cons are the single sizing option and potentially less overall durability than burlier full gaiters. But for the right waterproof lightweight application, they get the job done very well.
