The first thing that struck me about these gaiters is how lightweight they are which raises a question as to their long term durability. They are a mid calf in length which is neither one thing or another. The plastic strap going underneath the boot is difficult to set and a little short for ease of use. Overall the fit is tight for a size 10 boot but that is probably my fault for ordering the medium size. The calf strap isn't good enough to hold the gaiters up. Finally when washing the muddy gaiters it took several rinses to get rid of the apparently ground in mud. Overall construction looks and feels very good.
