These gaiters prevent foreign objects from getting into your shoes. They make bushwhacking more comfortable for adventure races and orienteering.

High-strength Dyneema laces are used on the soles and are firmly secured with a newly designed buckle(Utility Model Registered. No. 3255468, Japan), so you can hack through the bushes with confidence without having to worry about them slipping up.

We searched for various gaiters, but we could not find any that we could safely use when paddling through the bush. The rubber laces on the soles of our shoes quickly wore out, and the belt fastenings and Velcro got caught in the brush and came off, causing the gaiters to slide up. We focused on the belt and its fastening method, and after repeated prototyping and field testing, we have created a completely original lightweight gaiter for paddling through the bush.

The accumulation of small stresses can reduce your concentration and lead to navigation errors, or you can be concerned about a pebble under your foot and stab your ankle when you land. Take action before these small foreign objects cause big trouble!

merit

  • Prevents damage to your feet, loss of time, and loss of concentration caused by pebbles getting into your shoes.
  • I can't untie my shoelaces.
  • Your shoes and socks will last longer because they won't get dirty. Also, the hassle and stress of washing them is greatly reduced.
  • When combined with shin gaiters, this gear will protect your ankles from exposure and make you resistant to bushwhacking.
  • The front part uses MINO TECH® ripstop, a functional material developed by Teijin Frontier Co., Ltd., offering stretch, water repellency, and UV protection. The knit material also features water-repellent functionality.

Points to note

  • If the Dyneema laces are too long, there is a risk of stepping on them, and the cord on the inside of your right foot is particularly dangerous as it could get caught in a bicycle chain. somake sure there is enough length for the laces to come in and out at the heel, and cut them to an appropriate length.Heat the ends over a flame, and then tie a stopper knot back in place to prevent them from slipping out of the holes.
  • Spare cords and buckles are not included. The buckle has been changed to a non-replaceable design for improved strength and a slimmer profile.
  • Depending on your shoes and running style, the inner buckle may rub against the inner calf of the opposite leg, so we recommend not exposing any skin.
  • The logo is only on one side.
