I recently had a disappointment with the regular OR croc gaiters--the fabric just didn't hold up hiking through areas that had some brush under the snow. I think that version is just for hiking on trails that might have snow
Now I'm back to getting another pair. The expedition crocs seem to be tougher to avoid getting damaged by crampons (I don't think brush is a sharp as metal?). Kuiu yukons are the same price and seem to be well regarded. Kuiu Kutana's are a little lighter and seem to be tough as well but it's not clear how they compare to the yukons in abrasion resistance. I'm not married to any of these options though so I am open to others.
Does anyone have experience with how these hold up?
