Pro tip: I thought a $40 pair of gaiters was a dumb purchase until last weekend

Got caught in a surprise downpour on the Timberline Trail and my boots stayed completely dry while my buddy's socks were soaked in minutes. Anyone have a go-to brand for wet spring hikes?

My old Outdoor Research gaiters have lasted almost a decade now. That initial sting on the price tag fades when you realize you just never have to think about wet feet again.

Wait a decade? My gear usually falls apart after two hard seasons. What are you doing, just staring at them on a shelf?
