Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I needed a quick pair of Gaiters for an upcoming last minute trip to mount Rainer. I was earlier thinking to rent one from the guides there who recommended Outdoor research gaiters but these costed the same as the rental so I decided to take the risk after reading through the favorable reviews. I had few expectations :- - Correct sizing to go over my mountaineering double layer plastic boots - lightweight and waterproof - tear resistant since I would be using crampons Following are my observations Reviews suggested to go up one size but I did go over 2 just to be safe which worked. However I feel if I would have ordered just one size up that would have worked as well. I am 5'6 140 pounds athletic with proportional calves, ordered large(medium would have worked as well). These were light weight but felt flimsy straight out of the box. Coming to durability, these aren't meant for any serious use, just one day summit trip left these torn at multiple places. I would upload the pics soon. I feel these would work fine for light snowshoeing or fat biking but not for serious climbing adventure over multiple days. I would now need another pair as replacement since these are done. ** if you found this review helpful then don't forget to vote 'Yes', it really helps me to be motivated and share more with the community **
