Black Diamond

FrontPoint GTX Gaiter

Exactly what i was hoping for

These are terrific and worked as well as I'd hoped they would in the 2 times I've worn them so far. These feel very durable and I'm looking forward to putting them to the test more this season.

Strong Velcro! Light weight

I was glad to find these lightweight gaiters. These are simple with a strong Velcro closure down the front. My ice climbing boots have a gaiters built in but I generally need something to protect my pant cuffs snagging my crampons, getting torn up and / or tripping me. These gaiters are tough and low profile, staying out of the way.

Gaiters

I don't know how I lived without these! I am a snowmaker at a Utah ski resort and in the past I was constantly having to deal with wet boots, water wicking up my pants, etc. That is a thing of the past when wearing the gaiters. They are very well made and durable. Additional bonus is they keep the early season weeds, stickers, and cockleburrs off my pants as well. Very simple and easy to use. I will never be work without them again! Three thumbs up!

Ideal gaiters

Ordered XL for my side 11. They help bridge the gap on my buffalo salopettes in the snow as I’m 6’2” and the legs high water a bit. Velcro opener is great for easy on/off and the Black Diamond logo is a nice touch to evidence their obvious quality.

No Complaints - "modern fit" gaiter

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

The fit is great and to call out as someone mentioned these aren't super-duper tall, for me that's a plus. If you want that more old-school super tall puffy gaiter the other brands still have 'em.

Work as they are supposed to

They work as advertised. We bought them for our 9 year old son. They go up to his knees but hold fast on a full day of fort making and snowball fights in deep cold snow.

Worth the extra money in comparison to other brands. Holding up well with mountaineering in various conditions. Keeps snow and water out of my shoes or boots.

Solid Gaiters

My haters have taken all the abuse I have thrown at them for years. They are awesome I am happy enough I bought another set as a gift. I bought them for snow use - but they are rugged enough for use on sceei fields in summer.

Awesome—

Using these for snowshoeing in deep powder primarily. They’re perfect - like everything from BD… 🙏🏽

Well Built, but short.

I really liked these gaiters, but they reached maybe half way up my calf... maybe. My daughter who is 15 and 5" 8" tried them on as well, and they reached exactly half way up. I don't know how these gaiters would stay up being so short. They shock cord top closure definitely does not help either, and I could see that cord quickly wearing out. The bottom of the gaiter seems to be made for tall boots, as I feared they would not snug up to my Asolo 520 GVs very tight. I liked the slim cut on these, but I could see them getting very tight over winter layers. I hoped for something better than my ORs, but these are not the ones... for me.
