These gaiters do exactly what they should, they are lightweight and mid length. They provide a good amount of protection with Gore-Tex waterproofing and some sturdy features.

Montbell says

These lightweight and compact mid-calf gaiters don’t take up much space in your backpack. GORE-TEX® LIGHT SPATS SEMI LONG is suitable for variety of activities, such as all-round hiking to multi-day trekking.

Our Verdict

Montbell’s Gore-Tex Light Semi Long Gaiters use 3 layer Gore-Tex fabric combine durable 50D material with reinforced 210D edges. These gaiters worked well in very wet and muddy conditions. The reinforcements on the zipper fabric help prevent the zip snagging the fabric whilst zipping and unzipping – this combined with a broad toothed YKK zip with metal pull help increase strength and add durability especially when using them in wet and dirty conditions.

The stuff sack is very small and tricky to use, especially with the stiffened zip column that doesn’t comply with being bent – I prefer to keep mine flat. The under-foot strap has been great so far and has a small amount of stretch at either side and feels secure in position.
