Outdoor Research Flex-Tex II Gaiters for Sale, Reviews, Deals and Guides

Well made, easy to use and they seem durable enough to last for a very long time. Perfect for getting outside in the light snow and mud.

These are fantastic gaiters. I was looking for something more substantial and taller than ankle height gaiters, but not so tall they go up to your calf muscle, and these were the perfect size! They pack small enough to carry in the pack and not notice any difference in weight or bulk. Most important they kept glacier slush, snow, and rain out of my boots on a weather tormenting hike up to Camp Muir on Mt Rainier. We had 15mph + winds, with rain, sleet, and snow all at the same time, hiking up a slushy glacier and these kept EVERYTHING out of my boots. But they also allowed sweaty moisture to escape as well. Couldn't be more please with these.

My girlfriend picked up winter trail running this season. The first few runs she said her feet got soaked from running in the snow. So, I bought these for her for Christmas and so far the reports have been that between these and some Gortex shoes, he feet are dry! Easy to use, holds position well and totally waterproof.

Perfect for rainy conditions in the trail. My shoes kept dry and free from any debris. As always another great quality product from OR.

The Flex Tex II is still a pretty good product. There is nothing markedly better available in a scree gaiter. But the change from the original Flex Tex to the Flex Tex II is disappointing; OR did not handle this well. The original FT was good, but had certain specific minor design flaws, which I brought to OR's attention years ago: 1. The Velcro tabs are glued; no stitching. They delaminate. just a couple stitches at the tip would prevent this. 2. The product labels interfere with the Velcro, and must be cut off by the user (minor, but an inconvenience). So I had hoped the FTII would address these. But these were NOT fixed. Instead, additional design flaws have been added, and the price is way up: 3. The underfoot strap has been cheapened to a thinner material. 4. The side patch that engages the tip of the strap has been poorly redesigned and now "traps" the tip; you have to fiddle with it with two hands to get the tip of the strap through. So again, still a pretty good product. But an unfortunate step backwards from the original for a much higher price. I buy these; but it would be really nice and they would get 5 stars if flaws 1 through 4 were fixed in the next iteration.

Light gaiter good for when the snow isn't too deep

Debris in your shoes and boots is the worst. The Flex-Tex 2 gaiters work hard to prevent that from happening. Solid OR construction through out. I particularly like the straps on all OR gaiters. They are super durable. My OR Crocodiles lasted me almost 20 years I expect these to take the same beating.

Great for snow or muddy trails. Set them up with your favorite gore-tex shoes and you are set for any condition.

Use them for snowshoeing in the north cascades, have used them in 2 ft of snow for just regular hiking that I have ran into, they just work after 5 hours of hiking around still dry all the way up to the coverage area. You should not be disappointed and I do recommended to those looking for boot coverage.
