Outdoor Research Ferrosi Trail Gaiters – Water & Wind Resistant, Lightweight UPF 50+, Boot Cover

Rugged protection for trail adventures

The Outdoor Research Ferrosi Trail Gaiters blend lightweight comfort with rugged protection, guarding your ankles and boots against dirt, light moisture, and wind without slowing your pace. These gaiters are designed to breathe with your movement, helping feet feel drier on long climbs and in changeable weather.

2025 update: a smarter fit and enhanced weather shedding

The 2025 redesign emphasizes fit, durability, and ease of use. A bonded stretch hem hugs the ankle for a secure, low-profile fit, while a boot lace hook tucks neatly under laces. The internal instep strap length is adjustable, and the low-profile top cinch seals the opening without adding bulk. An offset hook-and-loop closure helps you quickly tell left from right, and a reflective logo adds visibility in dim conditions.
