Thru-hiking's ultralight approach to footwear protection Embarking on a six-month journey across one of America's greatest thru-hikes,
or looking for a lightweight hot weather hiking solution to pesky rocks and scree,
the Thru Gaiter is a winner for all. Its near-weightlessness and easy-on design
makes it the perfect choice for ounce-counting adventurers who need a simple,
streamlined answer to keeping trail debris out of shoes and socks. Its front is
constructed with a durable ripstop fabric with thermo-regulating technology that
breathes in hot weather and traps heat in the cold for total temperature control.
Its back uses the exclusive self-cooling ActiveIce™ tech to provide protection
where you're most vulnerable to sunburns and sweat. All-around UPF 50+ fabric
guards sensitive skin from sun damage, and a hypalon instep strap keeps gaiter
secure and snug beneath your footwear. From calf to ankle, the Thru Gaiter is
your best bet for prolonged ultralight adventures through hot climates.
