Thread: Stoney Creek Expedition Gaiters Good or Bad?

Had Outdoor Research before this that lasted 7 plus years that wore out and nothing broke on them. A little bit noisy for hunting though. I've actually noticed on a lot of the Duleys shows they are wearing them but obviously not a sponsor as they did a promo on the Shitty Creek ones but often you see the distinctive OR on the side of their gaiters in some shots.
I'm in the process of getting some Outdoor Research Realtree Camo Gaiters sent down to the Dunedin Biviouac store to see what they are like. Will let you know what they are like in a few days.

I brought a pair of OR gaiters this year and yeah they are ok but there must be better out there in NZ. They do stay up and are light but noisy and not much of a lace hook.
