What are the Crocodile Classic Gaiters Wide Fit?
They're award-winning, wind- and waterproof gaiters for various outdoor adventures, whether hiking, trekking, rambling, or backpacking for multiple days. Built with durable Gore-Tex® material, the Crocodile™ Classic Gaiters are a staple for those seeking extra protection for extended use in most environments.
What are they made of?
These gaiters are constructed with bluesign® approved Gore-Tex® ePE 3L, which comprises recycled nylon, regular nylon, and PU.
This updated Gore® material uses an ePE membrane, a key milestone in the leading brand's responsible performance journey. If you were wondering, ePE stands for expanded polyethene, which is light, thin yet durable, and PFC-free. If you're familiar with Trekitt descriptions, you may have seen that 'PFC-free' phrase floating around before. PFCs are per or poly-fluorinated chemicals, aka 'forever chemicals' that stay permanently in the environment and cause lasting damage to our ecosystems. Many companies are working towards a completely PFC-free future, so this is quite a breakthrough for the Gore-Tex® brand! In addition, this membrane has a reduced carbon footprint, as it uses laminates with a lower-mass membrane and select textiles, making it an ideal choice for more environmentally conscious adventurers.
The material provides complete waterproof and windproof protection, with ample breathability to prevent sweat and condensation from building up inside, helping regulate body temperature. Overall, it has been rigorously tested to ensure a long-lasting product life, which adds to those eco-friendly credentials, as you won't need to buy a new replacement for a long time, saving energy, resources and waste.
You'll also find Cordura® 2L reinforcements on the upper leg panel, which are made with 100% nylon, and a powerful 1000D woven foot panel, which helps to increase the overall durability of these gaiters and enhance their lifespan to endure years of wear.
Lastly, these gaiters are lined with a 420D packcloth with a PU coating, ensuring optimal performance and comfort.
What are the features?
The combination of strong materials offers complete abrasion resistance, ideal for moving through rocky territory, plus ample water- and windproof protection.
A buckle top hem closure is easy to fasten and reliable enough to stay secure all day.
You also get a double-stitched front closure and a durable BioThane® instep strap that is strong enough to endure various adventures, weather, and environments.
Lastly, a hook and loop front closure is easy to use, even with cold fingers or gloves.
