Short Gaiters

[Brahm]

Okay I cannot find the short gaiters they wear in Africa. What are they called and where can I get them lol I hate crap in my shoes/short hikers this time of year checking trail cams etc. it’s to hot to wear my tall heavy gaiters.

I picked up a couple pair from midway USA, they work ok.

Yep, Boyt. I like them for a minimalist solution.

African Sporting Creations usually have nice Courtney leather gaiters. Tag Safari has a decent set of cloth gaiters. And look up Save Your Socks. They are in Namibia, but make nice leather gaiters at a very reasonable price. I had a set made for my self and my mother and delivered to our outfitter. Very easy to work with

African Creations will help you out. In Tsetse fly country I use knee high gaiters. Those rascals can go up a pant leg in a flash and shake your leg

 

[Elkeater]

I use these. Just wore them for 5 miles this morning with my shorts while doing a bit of scouting for our August bear season.

I use the Courtney’s from African Sporting Creations as well. They are super durable and When I end up having to crawl I will pull them up to cover my knees. Good investment

It's interesting. This is the first time I've heard of such a method. I'll have to try it on occasion.

I saw Save Your Socks gaiters in Safari Outdoors in SA a few weeks ago. A bit more expensive than in Namibia but they’re great gaiters.

Thanks guys. It’s the soft cloth or leather ones I was after

 

[coreydb]

These are great if you're wearing shorts. If wearing long pants, I tuck in the pant legs to high top boots. knee high gaiters are great if you're wearing low cut boots with pants.

Midway carries Boyt cloth.

 

[Brahm]

Excellent thank guys!

 

[Brahm]

Went to order a pair of Courtney zip ups from Africa sporting creations out of Ohio and it’s $99 to ship to me in Ontario. 1 state and border away !! Have to find another solution

Edit I think I can get them cheaper out of Belgium

 

[John Wasmuth]

You could always make them.

 

[BryceM]

Lots of taxidermy shops in Africa sell them. It's always nice to pick up a couple pair, and they're pretty inexpensive too.

 

[Nevada Mike]

The Boyt product works - in Africa and here in Arizona. The are inexpensive and generally available... why pay more or chase around looking for something else?
