Why Are Gaiters Important?

Honestly,
sometimes they aren’t. I actually hike in shorts and hiking sandals a
lot of the time. Even on longer trips, I wear shoes and pants without
hiking gaiters.


The vast majority of hiking and backpacking
is done on well beaten trails and avoid rock scrambles and heavy brush
almost entirely. On the occasion you encounter some thorns or need to
bushwhack for a bit, your shoes and socks or pants often provide
adequate protection. Too many people get psyched out on gear and go
clunking around the woods with these unnecessary shin guards.

HOWEVER,
there are plenty of conditions that demand more protection than your
pants and shoes can offer. Gaiters will help keep your legs safe and
help you enjoy your time outdoors in these more extreme conditions.
Specifically, gaiters can help:

1) Block Debris. For long
distance backpacking, this is the #1 reason to use gaiters. I hiked a
few hundred miles on the Appalachian Trail before realizing how
frequently I was stopping to remove pebbles from my shoes. Pine needles
were worse and caused splinters. Ultralight gaiters were the solution to
my pesky shoe debris for the remaining 2,000 miles.

2) Shield
Your Shins. Particularly on rock scrambles and thick bush. If you are
traversing rugged rocks or plowing through a wilderness fortress, your
legs are going to take a beating. Your pants could be shredded and your
legs could be exposed. You’ll want some protection.

3) Channel
Rain Runoff. Those long legs of yours are a perfect funnel for rain to
channel down into your boots or shoes. Wet shoes and feet can be
dangerous in winter. Gaiters can divert rain from pooling in your shoes.
Note, in warm weather, I argue that wet feet are just part of it - use
breathable trail runners and keep hiking.

4) Insulate. Beyond
getting wet, your feet and ankles could use an extra layer of insulation
in the winter time. Waterproof gaiters help repel ice and snow from
collecting. The thicker the gaiter, the better the insulation.
