Mine have just turned up. Yet to use them. Look very well made!!!
Looks like awesome gear.
Where did you get them from Paddy?

From Kuiu website. A mate bought some online over there and brought them back to nz for me. I have talked to them about sending stuff to nz. Shipping could be quite costly but they will do it. Also size range is a problem when your a small like me and the lowest they do is medium.
Kuiu shipping is quite reasonable. 16USD for less than $100. Almost bought a pair last night but all gaiters are on back order.
When i emailed them about shipping the lady i was talking to seemed to think it might be round 50USD. I would hazard a guess that she was just guessing though.
Sorry, I was wrong. its 15.99USD on orders up to 79.99USD.Quote:

Have got kuiu gear from the website before.
thanks for the replies, just how long on back order:
@the scudd. No idea. Website has no ETA
I've got a pair of them, seem well made & do the job
For shipping it'll probably be worth using NZ post youshop. Works well
well got an email back from kuiu, the gaiters are on backorder they are expecting a shipment in march but not sure what colour are coming not that the colour would matter. think I might purchase
So i gave mine a work out this weekend. Really comfy. Light and stay up well. I personally think the laces hook needs to be bigger. The dome at the bottom beside the hook had a tendency of coming undone. The bottom strap took a hiding and is looking unscathed which is good. Really good fit around my Haix and let in very little water. But i have managed to put a pin prick of a hole in it (i think from spaniards or matagouri) so will have to glue that before it becomes larger.
Would i recommend them?
Yes if doing tops work. What little bush stalking i did this weekend they were a little scratchy in low ferns when compared to my old huntech ones.
Mine now have a hole in them, must have been from matagouri
I have quite a bit of there gear but not the gators and its been far to hot to test other gear.
Will put up a review etc when I get a chance
