The YETI® Attak gaiter gives you that extra layer of protection so flooded feet can’t call time on your adventure. Fit the toe in as far as possible then turn the front of the gaiter inside out so it has a lip you can grab and sits on the laces area....pull the whole gaiter rearwards so you can get on the heel section. Once that's in place grab the front and stretch and peel the front over the toe. viii) put down the dryer and then push your whole bodyweight down on to the gaiter, pushing it down over the toe – you are aiming to hook the front section of the rand over the front tread of the sole. You need to secure that section on the arch of the sole of your boot. When you’ve done this it should hold for a valuable 10 seconds….

If you don’t have a pair of boots with the slot for the front strap then the toe rand will ride up after a few miles. I had glued mine on in the past which does last but depending on the glue is still temporary. I've got Yetis on berghuas Kibo boots and they are excellent. As per previous posts though they are on my winter boots and I don't take them off !They are great if used in the right weather, I find I ended up wet anyway through perspiration unless it was below freezing. My experience is very different from those who write the accolades for this piece of kit (above). My conclusion is based on my recent experience using Yeti Gaiters on one of the most challenging distance walks. The gaiters failed on the first day and had disintegrated by day three. Have recently bought G-Fit Altberg boots to fit my wide feet (even wider than Scarpas) but the Yetis don’t quite work as they are at full stretch & compress the top of the boot & hence my feet ache BUT with a more standard width boot no problem. Avoid at all costs the new ‘Skywalk’ design of rand and opt only for the original trionic design, if you can still find them. ii) Definitely not suitable for a soft sole. The Scarpa SL is almost made for them (not sure if even Berghaus make a compatible sole anymore), you’ll have to cut of the front cross strap, or take a knife to the sole. I’d do the former.

Another great advantage of these gaiters was that the tops could be rolled, preventing spiders (e.g. tarantulas), scorpions and other “nasties” from creeping in. Have a pair of Peter Storm gaiters I bought in haste once for some other boots & they are so lightweight they fall down after a few minutes walking – never even got to a puddle. Never a problem with the Yetis. I’ve been using Yetis for over twenty years and have always believed them to be the best piece of kit a rambler can buy. Until recently that is. The gaiters do not to what they are deigned to do: Essentially, they do not stop water getting into the boot. I noticed on early walks with the gaiters on, what did stop water getting in was a build-up of mud between the rand and the boot. More seriously the gaiters failed in precisely the conditions they are supposed to provide protection. I found this out on a training hike in the Brecon Beacons, when they slipped off as I traversed rough grass that covered a bog. Worryingly, this revealed that the gaiters had trapped a good deal of water and the boots (unable to breath) were soaked.Making sure your boots are well waterproofed does help and on long trips I now always take a tube of Nikwax Waterproofing Wax with me which is miracle stuff for leather booths. And obviously one thing to try is gaiters and I finally succumbed and bought a pair a few years ago, however whilst they help a bit they just seem to stall the inevitable a short while. The first day I wore them it must have taken a whole half an hour longer before my boots were soaked to the bone.

Please note the gaiter is engineered to be tight secure fit on boots and does take some effort, some do prefer to go up a boot size.Select your preferred return option: a FREE Royal Mail return label or a paid via Hermes, Collect+, DPD or UPS

Training or exercise in Brecon, Otterburnor Dartmoor ? Is there a better combination than a pair of Berghaus Yeti Gaiters and a pair of Lowa Mountain Boots ? Berghaus Yeti Attak GORE-TEX® Gaiters features a GORE-TEX® Performance shell upper for durable, breathable & reliable waterproof protection that lets perspiration escape to help keep your feet drier and therefore more comfortable. Essentially, they did not really stop water getting into the boot. I noticed on early walks with the gaiters on, that water came into the boot. After a while, a seal was made. But, on inspection, I found that this was due to a build-up of mud between the rand and the boot. They are full-fronted gaiters designed to be worn below the level of the knee. Relying on a secure fit as a result of the front zip with a hook-and-loop storm flap plus an integrated forefoot strap. Alright folks i'm jist wondering if anyone on here uses Yeti Gaiters on there boots and wot they think of them? I could fit my old style Yetis in less than two minutes. I gave up on my new Skywalks after two HOURS using levers, boiling water and a second pair of hands. They simply would not fit my boots.

The wettest of weather is no match for the three layers of breathable protection in the high-grade Misano fabric by GORE-TEX. FULLY FITTED When used last winter crossing a mostly frozen stream, I did punch through the ice at the bank and went in to within an inch of the top of the gaiter but not a drop got through. The chaps from RVOps are quite right that it’s “hernia popping stuff” to get them on, especially a new pair…contrary to their technique above there is in my opinion an easier way to get them on which should take you about 15mins per boot and doesn’t require lots of boiling water. Not available for destinations in the Highlands and Islands, Isle of Wight, Isle of Man, Northern Ireland, Guernsey and Jersey, Isle of Scilly and mid Wales. I’ve used Yetis for a number of years now, and definitely fall in to the camp who swear by them. If you size them correctly, and stay away from the cheaper ‘softer rand’ imitation versions, they’ll stay on and completely tank your boot. Essential above the snow-line and makes fording shin-high rivers a breeze.
