Ankle SV Gaiters

As with everything I have purchased from Hilltrek, these gaiters are robustly sewn together and fit perfectly.Hilltrek has been my first stop for outdoor clothing for a very long time.

Absolutely thrilled with product. Good quality material and well made. Easy to put on and take off. Highly recommended

Comfortable, easy to put on and take off, breathable and stop stones getting in boots. I love them

Very well made . Robust.

Perfect for strolling about the countryside, paired with my traditional leather boots...

I used these while hill walking and wild camping in Scotland over 5 days. They were great at preventing wet grass and dense heather from getting my socks and boots soaked, and easily stood up to consistent light rain.

The gaiters are designed so they stayed in place even without the strap.

Would highly recommend these for everything other than wading through above-ankle deep water.

Very well made, would have given five stars but there is no hook to attach to the boot lace, This may not be a problem since I haven't tried them in thick heather yet. All in all, I am very impressed with build, stitching and the material, and I am consequently contemplating a pair of Hilltrek breeks. It is very pleasing to see a British company producing such good quality, and individualistic, outdoor clothing. I shall recommend Hilltrek to my friends.

In the 1970's Karrimor made a 100% cotton canvas Stop Tous. That worked well in keeping small stones out of the boots but allowed the feet to breath. Today I have been hunting high and low for fully 100% cotton canvas of the same thing because all the other materials, even Goretex gaiters, do not allow my feet to breath. Even after just a 5 mile hike all the sweat is on the inside of Goretex gaiters. I didn't really want to pay for Ventile gaiters because it is not a heavy weight like canvas and the inevitable chaffing will wear a hole at the ankel bones of both left and right legs'. I know because I have been wearing full length and short ankle gaiters since 1970's, every week and that is where they wear out (apart from the straps). Anyhow, as Hilltrek is the only supplier of real breathable ankle gailers in UK, it was worth waiting a month for this made to order item to arrive. 4 stars out of 5 because I would rather pay for thicker 100% cotton canvas rather than this thinner Ventile as you don't need Ventile to stop the stones. If there is any chance of the feet getting wet then naturally I would wear full length Ventile gaiters.
