Thread: Gaiters - opinion on these before I import

They look good.

Will they make me go faster because they are Russian (rush'n).

(yes, yes, I know Ukraine gained its independence in 1991)

You be Nuclear Powered Bruce - made in Chernobyl - Ukraine :-)))))

Where the under wire is attached - I would hope there would be a cord inside where it is riveted - so rivet is over that cord (think that made sense

yes only thing I would say is would hope there is webbing through that part so rivet goes through the webbing and not just the folded inner and outer of the gaiter itself

That's what I was meaning above - hope there some extra reinforcement in there for rivet to go over top of
BUT - my expensive Black Diamond just have strap (not wire) stitched onto inside
That heel/tread loop actually dose not get a lot of tension ah - I think

I will order a sample of these in three colors and see what they are like
So be 2 of each in Med & Large (12 pairs)
