Snow Gaiters Top picks from Black Crystal Online

Parlin, NJ, January 23, 2015 (Newswire.com) - Snow gaiters are one of the most essential accessories that one needs while going on a hiking tour. These are especially helpful while one plans a hiking tour that involves wandering around in deep snow. While wearing simple running gaiters or ordinary hiking gaiters, the snow sneaks down between the inner shell of the show and the user's feet. That makes one feel wet and cold, and thus extremely uncomfortable. Snow gaiters are designed in such a way so that users can comfortably walk on deep snow wearing these gaiters. There are two types of snow gaiters. One is made of a nylon cover that prevents snow from falling down inside the boot. The other consists of fur or fuzzy fleece that acts as a barrier against snow from falling inside the boot.

It is essential to choose the right pair of gaiters while going on a hiking tour. While buying a pair of gaiters, one needs to keep its features in mind. Most gaiters are cinched with elasticized drawcords and toggles, although some models feature dedicated top strap with cam buckle. One should also look for instep straps that secure the lower edge of the gaiters. It is essential to choose the right material while buying a pair of gaiters. Fabrics that are commonly used for manufacturing gaiters include Gore-Tex, coated nylon, Cordura nylon, REI elements and Schoeller fabrics.
