Gaiters

[old man]

Just bought a pair of kenetrek Gaiters and to me they are to noisy. does anyone know of a quieter gaiter?

 

[Schaaf]

A rule of thumb I've always followed, the more water resistant something is, the noisier it is.

With that said I think my OR Croc gaiters are the best value for your money.

I really like my Kuiu gaiters. I haven't noticed much noise.

 

[Tikka06]

I have the OR's also. No complaints at all.

I'll give a vote to the First Lite Brambler gaiter. I previously had the Kuiu gaiter and I find the First Lite's to fit better and be more quiet.

third for the OR gaiters. they are cordura but i don't recall being overly concerned about them being noisy. I have not used them archery hunting though so I haven't paid an aweful lot of attention to noise with them.

The ones I use for hunting are Cabellas w/gortex. Had them for 15yrs.
My other ones are mountaineering models that work real well in anything, but are very noisy.

I also have the Cabelas gaiters with Gortex, I've had them for about 10 years and the work very well. Not sure what material is on the outside but it is no more noisey than the material of my pants.

OR Crocs are what I run. Most everything out there is some variation of that design.

+1 what bowhuntmontana said. I have a pair and have not noticed or been distracted by the noise.

Which Kenetrek did you get? The black ones are a lot noisier then the camo ones.

I just want to find a pair that will last longer than a season. The OR Expeditions didn't even make it through a fall.

I'll third the Cabela's version. Had mine for 10 years. They are regular fabric in the outside, so no more noise than plain pant legs. Always keep me dry.

 

[Gunner46]

Never found the need. I just blouse my boots aka MC style and run the gauntlet.

 

[jdf]

OR Crocs I used for years.

I hear the kuiu gaiters work well- maybe try them?

CAMO,I am sure they are probably quiet enough for hunting the west but i am worried about here in the woodlands of the Northeast.

 

[NoWiser]

I'm very happy with my Kuiu gaiters.
