Frequently asked questions about hunting gaiters
Gaiters or gauntlets look like a tube that is pulled over the feet or shoes and over the trousers. This closes the gap between the hunting trousers and the hunting boots. At the upper end, most gaiters have a locking mechanism with which they can be fixed above the calves. At the lower end, the gaiters are fastened with underfoot straps that are passed under the sole of the boot. Many gaiters have additional fastening hooks that are attached to the laces. This prevents the gaiters from slipping up.
Depending on the area of use, gaiters have different functions and are made of different materials.
- For stalking through snow or high, damp meadows, the gaiters should be equipped with a waterproof membrane so that drops of water simply run off. This prevents moisture from getting into the shoes and also keeps the trousers dry.
- If you do a lot of tracking or often go through thorny hedges, you should opt for a thorn-proof version. This provides optimal protection for the legs.
- For use in extreme cold, there are lined versions that serve as an extra layer of insulation and provide an additional cushion of warmth on the legs.
- There are even snake-proof gaiters that protect against the bites of poisonous snakes. These are then declared separately as snake-proof.
