Use a tall gaiter when debris or snow is above the ankle. A short dirty-girl style gaiter is enough for dust on runners and weighs less. Waterproof gaiters do not dry a soaked boot. They delay the flood.

Who should buy it. Snow hikes and scrambles.

Best for. Snow, scree, and boots that ship mud into the cuff

Standout limitation. Overkill in summer dust
