Frequently asked questions

Are gaiters available in different sizes for rental?

Most gaiters are designed with adjustable sizing systems, such as buckles, straps, or buttons. These features allow you to customize the fit to your specific leg and boot size.

Are gaiters built for snow and mud protection?

Yes, gaiters are designed to protect your boots and pants from snow, mud, and other debris. They create a barrier between your footwear and the elements, keeping your feet dry and comfortable.

Gaiters are particularly useful in wet, snowy conditions, as they can help to prevent snow from entering your boots and causing discomfort or frostbite. They can also protect your pants from wear and tear caused by brush and rocks.

Is there a deposit required to rent gaiters?

Yes, a deposit of $100 is required for renting gaiters. This deposit ensures that the rental equipment is returned in good condition. The deposit is fully refundable upon the return of the poles.

Can I rent additional outdoor gear with the gaiters?

Absolutely! In addition to gaiters, we offer a wide range of outdoor gear for rent, including:

  • Snowshoes: Ideal for winter hiking and exploring snowy landscapes.

  • Microspikes: Perfect for icy trails and providing extra traction.

  • Headlamps: Essential for nighttime adventures and low-light conditions.

  • Hiking and Backpacking Gear: Including backpacks, tents, sleeping bags, and cooking equipment.

By renting a complete outdoor gear package, you can ensure you have everything you need for a safe and enjoyable adventure.

Are gaiters waterproof?

Yes, gaiters are designed to be waterproof or water-resistant. This helps to keep your feet dry and protected from snow, rain, and mud.

Can I rent gaiters for multi-day hikes?

Yes, you can rent gaiters for multi-day hikes. We offer multi-day rental discounts and a flexible rental period to accommodate various trip lengths. For rentals of 7 days or more, contact us directly for special offers and discounts.

Can I rent gaiters for both hiking and winter activities?

Yes, gaiters are versatile and can be used for both hiking and winter activities. They provide protection against debris, snow, and water, making them a valuable piece of gear for a variety of outdoor pursuits.

Here are some specific scenarios where gaiters can be beneficial:

  • Hiking: Gaiters can keep dirt, rocks, and other debris out of your boots, especially on trails with loose gravel or muddy conditions.

  • Winter Hiking: Gaiters can help keep snow and ice out of your boots, providing warmth and dryness.

  • Snowshoeing: Gaiters can protect your boots from snow and ice, preventing them from getting wet and cold.

  • Backpacking: Gaiters can be useful for protecting your boots from brush and debris on backcountry trails.

By renting gaiters, you can enhance your outdoor experiences and stay comfortable and protected, regardless of the weather conditions.

Do gaiters provide full leg protection?

No, gaiters do not provide full leg protection. They primarily protect the lower leg and boot area from debris, snow, and water. They typically extend from the top of your boot to just below your knee.

While gaiters are excellent for keeping your feet dry and protected, they don't offer full-leg coverage. For more extensive protection, you might consider wearing waterproof pants or other protective clothing, depending on the specific conditions.
