text: I have yet to put them to use in the field so I can't say 100% how much I like or dislike them, but have looked at all the major brands of gaiters as I have needed to replace a pair that is no longer made (which I loved) - and these are the ones I have decided I like the best.  I use these for hunting elk in Colorado (requires protection from snow, mud, and moisture) so the fit has to be just right and I don't want sag as I walk otherwise the noise will kill me.  Plus I am really picky about my gear.  From wearing these around the house I believe they are the best option for what is out there today.  OR Expedition Gaiters were significantly noiser, generally disappointed with the Black Diamond ones, and it was a split decision between these and the Kenetrek Gaiters (which are the only ones I can say are &#34;designed for hunting&#34;).  I chose these over Kenetrek because 1) some guys has said the snow would &#34;ball up&#34; on the softer Kenetrek fabric and 2) the top clasp on the Kenetrek is not heavy duty and I could see it breaking in the field.<br />Fit is good on these but I did order a size down as I read other reports that they did run a bit big - I wear a size 10.5 mountaineering boot and I ordered a Medium for a good fit (MH Size chart said I should order a Large).  Definitely durable/well made, all MH stuff is and if anything does break I know the company will 100% stand behind it.  I read some reviews saying the top clasp was &#34;tough to adjust&#34;, which it is but it is designed to be adjusted 1 time and then you don't touch it - and it doesn't move on you.  For that reason I like it.  Plus the little bit of elastic in the back helps a snug fit on the leg as well as to keep that top closure snug.<br />If they don't perform as I hope I will update this posting.
