I've been wearing Flex-Tex gaiters, this is my third pair, since their debut in Schoeller Dry Skin about a dozen years ago. This latest iteration is improved yet again! The repositioned more weather repellant storm flap, stiffened lace hook backing, and cinching tops that accommodate anything from bare skin to insulated pants make these the best four season gaiters on the market. No, higher with laminated fabrics would not be progress. Enjoy pebble, precipitation, spruce needle, prickle free hiking without sweating to death every day. Good gear is ranked by cost per use, buy these!
