Outdoor Research Rocky Mountain Low Gaiters II – Water-Resistant Hiking Gaiters, Black, XL

The Rocky Mountain Low Gaiters II from Outdoor Research deliver weather-ready protection for on-trail adventures. Built to move with you, they feature an updated pattern that fits a variety of boot profiles, helping you stay shielded from grit, water, and trail debris as you push through mixed terrain.

Durable construction meets everyday usability. Hypalon instep straps stand up to abrasion, while reinforced boot lace hooks stay secured through uneven ground. A self-fastening front closure makes it quick and simple to adjust, so you can focus on the path ahead rather than fiddling with gear.

What makes them stand out on the trail

• Water resistance helps you move forward in damp conditions without soggy socks.
• Breathable yet abrasion-resistant fabric resists wear while keeping you comfortable through long days.
• Updated sizing from S to XL provides coverage for a wide range of boot profiles and leg lengths.
• Rugged hardware—Hypalon instep straps and sturdy boot lace hooks—stays secure during rugged scrambles.

Real-world use cases

• Rocky day hikes through dew-soaked meadows or after a light rain, where trail moisture and damp leaves come into contact with your ankles.
• Alpine approaches and forested trails with loose gravel, roots, and brush that can kick up grit.
• Weekend backpacking across mixed terrain, from muddy trails to dry, dusty sections, where reliable leg protection matters.

Tips for a great fit and care

• Choose from sizes S–XL to match your boot height and gaiter length for a secure seal.
• Fasten the front closure first, then snug the fit around your boots to minimize snagging.

Outdoor Research combines technical innovation with long-term reliability. The Rocky Mountain Low Gaiters II are designed to travel with you, offering dependable coverage as you explore new trails and push your boundaries.
