What is the Kangri GTX Gaiter?
It's an updated version of Rab's Kangri Gaiter, which is a super tough, reliable, and protective gaiter for a multitude of different activities, from hiking to dog walking in wet weather. The update comes in the form of the latest Gore-Tex ePE membrane, for reliable waterproof protection with a more environmentally responsible construction.
What are they made from?
The Kangri GTX Gaiter is made from 70 denier 3-layer GORE-TEX Performance ePE for maximum protection from the elements, without the use of PFAS/ PFC chemicals.
This tough 70 denier fabric is reassuringly sturdy, yet it's not too heavy or uncomfortable to hold you back. It's robust enough to deal with the abrasion from frequent use in tough terrain.
This latest Gore-Tex® ePE technology is made using recycled fabrics and without the use of PFAS/PFC chemicals for a significantly reduced environmental impact. If you were wondering, PFAS/PFCs are per or poly-fluorinated chemicals, aka 'forever chemicals' that stay permanently in the environment and cause lasting damage to our ecosystems. This is why many companies are working towards a completely PFC-free future, and this latest membrane from Gore-Tex® is a big step forward for the brand. The GORE-TEX Performance ePE membrane provides an exceptional Hydrostatic Head rating of 28,000mm to reliably shield you from wet weather in various wet weather environments.
The gaiters are finished with a PFC-Free DWR (durable water repellent) coating to encourage rain, snow and mud to bead off the material instead of soaking in.
What are their features?
Simple in design, the Kangri GTX Gaiter features a velcro closure for easy on and off’s. Durable reinforcements around the ankle provide protection in high wear areas, whilst a TPU underboot strap and a lace hook keeps the gaiter firmly in place. Pre-elasticated sections of the gaiter keep it snug to your ankle, yet fit comfortably over trekking boots.
