walking boots-- which are good?

Waterproof trousers over gaiters is probably the best option in heavy rain, but in snow the gaiters should be worn over the waterproof trousers where there is a risk of a self-stabbing by crampon; hopefully the tough fabric of the gaiter will prevent damage to expensive waterproof trousers. For ice climbing this is the case, but for XC skiing the trousers won't be damaged by anything. the classic knickers, with the gaiters over them, is what used to be common for XC skiing before knickers went out of fashion. Now with the plastic boots for back-country skiing there is no need for waterproofing, but you still need gaiters. Some of the higher end winter pants have integrated gaiters (along with a GoreTex membrane of course). |
