Gaiters made by German company Mil-tec. The leg protectors are designed for moving through rough terrain. The profiled sheet of material, connecting two opposite ends with a solid Velcro fastener, is resistant to dirt and water. When worn over pants, the booties cover the legs along with footwear from ankles to knees. Proper placement and fit of the protectors is ensured by a steel cable running under the soles of the shoes.
The main function of the gaiters is to prevent dirt (snow, mud, stones, etc.) from getting inside the shoes. They also protect the lower parts of the pants from dirt, wetness and damage. The protectors are made of triple laminate (semi-permeable membrane) and additionally lined with nylon lining on the inside.
