Outdoor Research Rocky Mountain Low Gaiters II – Water-Resistant Hiking Gaiters (Pewter, Medium)

Compact protection for tough trail days

The Rocky Mountain Low Gaiters II from Outdoor Research are lightweight ankle gaiters designed for on-trail use. An updated fit and pattern work with a variety of boot profiles to help you move confidently through mixed terrain.

What makes them trail-ready

• Water resistance helps keep your ankles and lower shins drier when you encounter damp brush, wet leaf litter, or light rain.
• Durable Hypalon instep straps and reinforced boot lace hooks stay secure as you move over roots, scree, and steep pitches.
• The self-fastening front closure reduces fiddling time, letting you maintain your pace on long ascents.

Materials and fit for real-world use

The gaiters are built from breathable yet tough fabric that resists abrasion, so you can push through challenging terrain without feeling weighed down. They are available in sizes S through XL to accommodate different boot shapes and volumes.

Practical on-trail scenarios

Use them on alpine approaches, forested switchbacks, or damp meadows. They help prevent debris from entering your footwear and reduce the need for frequent readjustments, which can be especially helpful on long days in the backcountry.
