I got mine from ebay so did not pay full price. I haven't used gaiters much and was happy with these. Fine for what I paid for them. Continue reading...
Performance seems reasonable but due to the poor quality, these gaiters will not last long and I would not recommend them. Mine had to be returned. Continue reading...
Rubbish. Wouldn't recommend them to anyone. Spend your money on an alternative product that will actually do the job you bought it for. Continue reading...
Completely unsatisfactory, a waste of money, I'll not buy Trekmates kit again. Continue reading...
Better than no gaiters but only just, now looking to replace them after 3 months. Continue reading...

 I agree entirely, Trek mates gear is not fit for serious use...cheap but you get what you pay for.... best to stick to well known and respected brands...though lots of this is now made in the far east...   had the same problems with two pairs of KSBs and have used Karrimor for thirty years ...but wouldn't recommend any of their foot wear any more.

 Trek mates gear is not fit for serious use.

Sorry but I disagree,I've had a pair of their softshell gloves for 3 years now and have found them excellent They're worn through winter as my main glove for both walking and on my mountain bike.I've also got a pair of the Sprint gtx gaiters and they've been fine too.

My brother had these gaiters and the strap buckle broke first time out.

My brother had two pairs of these gaiters and the zip broke on both after a couple of outings.

Trekmates customer "service", contacted after the second failure, was very dismissive and ultimately unsatisfactory.

Whilst it's unlikely all their gear is dodgy, I'd definitely think carefully about buying anything of their's, especially since they don't seem to give a toss.
