Outdoor Research Men's Helium Gaiters (Pertex® Shield 2.5L)

Waterproof gaiters at just 172g. The Outdoor Research Men's Helium Gaiters are ultralight Pertex® Shield 2.5L waterproof gaiters for climbers, hikers and trail runners who want full protection without the weight.

The 30D Pertex® Shield ripstop upper is fully waterproof and breathable, so rain and wet ground stay out while your legs don't overheat on long efforts. A 420D PU-coated foot panel handles the scuffs, and a replaceable Hypalon instep strap, reinforced lace hooks, hook-and-loop front and an elastic heel with drawcord top keep everything low-profile and in place. They pack down small for fast-and-light setups. Choose the Helium when you're moving fast and light and a heavier gaiter would stay at home.
