This is what I was wondering. Wearing gaiters looks silly. I mean, I still wear them for practical reasons. But, I think people who think they look "cool" are either trying to talk themselves into them or think maybe that's why others wear them. My teenage daughter (who is an avid hunter) makes endless fun of me in my Kuiu Yukon gaiters. And she's right.When did wearing gaiters become "cool"?
