excellent, been using them for over 20 yrs. A must for boggy Dartmoor.

Warm, waterproof and protect your boot.

They can ride up but I stick mine down with sycoflex so they don't move (it does mean that they have to stay on for the whole trip but when taken off it doesn't damage the boot). I'm on my second pair as the rubber eventually wears away, especially the foot straps.

GOOD FOR ANY THING THE WEATHER CAN THROW AT YOU

waterproof, i've had mine for 5yrs and still W/P. nor have they ripped, but mine are the "old" style with fabric toe. maybe new ones not so "bombproof", haven't used them so can't comment.

as everyone says are a bugger to get on, my way is:- heat in hwater for 10mins. or so, put heel on first, then, using a hairdryer if necessary, pull toe on. i seen a website somewhere of scarpa people fitting yetis and they reconnened this was the best way. i've found it works for me.

execellent. waterproof. though i'd cut the strap on forefoot off as i find this makes them easier to fit. ( also means you might get them to fit other makes than scarpa ), might seem dear at first but i was having to buy a new set of "normal" gaiters every year. haven't bought any since i bought the yetis @ 5yrs ago. i reckon iv'e saved money as haven't had to get an other pair of gaiters. i'll buy an other pair when this pair are done.

AMAZING GAITER, BUT DONT EXPECT TO GET EM OFF IN A HURRY

Bombproof!

Cant get them off your boot

I love these. They are excellent at keeping everything dry. The high leg protection is great. Have not worried about snow or mud since putting these on my boots.

The big downside is getting them on the boot in the first place. Took me a good half hour to get them on... which is where they have stayed. Cant get them off now. Seem to have glued them selves to my boots. No quantity of soap, hot water, BF&BI have made them budge! Not that I am complaining. They now live in my car boot, ready if conditions change, or I feel like a walkabout at lunch time and don't want to get my trousers dirty.

GREAT GAITERS, VIRTUALLY BOMBPROOF.

Great breathability and water resistance, good high length, especailly good for wet grass and snow that might get in above a lower gaiter.

Pricey and torturous to get on!!!

Place them in boling water for ten minutes then pop the toe of your boot inside and pull with all your might to get the back on, make sure they are pulled well up away from the rear of the crampon attachment at the back of boot (so you can get your crampons on).
