Re: Who makes the best gaiters?
quietest I've found is Kenetrek, brushed fabric outer layer, but they aren't the most durable or waterproof, use them for bush hunting, never mountain hiking
I have a set of hillsound gaiters which are ok, waterproof but annoying to zipper closed, the draft guard catches in the zipper and I personally think the calf sizing is a bit off compared to other brands
had a set of kuiu which liked, albeit very short lived before I left them somewhere lol...I can see myself ordering another pair
from your list 1 and 3 you can get together, but I'd say you sacrifice both of those qualities if you want quiet
I think 3 years is probably decent life, depending how often and terrain you use them...if only using them sparingly than 3 years could be disappointing
Unfortunately, the rifles are getting lighter because we are getting heavier and more unfit as a society. This is the key to the mainstream acceptance of the short magnums. - Nathan Foster
