Gaiters are recommended when you’re traveling December through February but can also be useful at other times on the trail. Gaiters cover the ankle-high opening of your boots and up your calves. This prevents snow, water, mud, rocks, or dust from getting into your shoes.While it’s highly unlikely you will be walking through snow, it does occasionally happen. Gaiters are also great to help protect your clothing and feet from gathering dust on the trail.
