As you walk, you disturb the elements on the ground. They can hinder you, dirty you, and get stuck in your shoes, disrupting your stride. In the mountains, it’s even worse, with snow and unpredictable weather often in play! To ensure you have a complete mountaineering kit, don’t forget to bring a pair of gaiters to attach to your mountaineering shoes. If this accessory seems trivial, give it a try; you won’t be disappointed and will wonder how you managed without them.

Short, medium, or high gaiters, they are tailored to your activity, the trails you traverse, and provide varying levels of ankle protection according to your needs. Comfortable and perfectly adjustable to your physique, you won’t even notice them during your ascent. Well secured to your mountaineering shoes, they won’t hinder your movements. Choose a strap or velcro closure to ensure your gaiters stay in place.
