- Stops grit entering at the boot cuff on a loose descent; instep strap survives being walked on.
- cyclingnot advised
- An instep strap under a shoe on a pedal is a snag risk, and there is nothing here a cycling shoe needs.
- commutingusable
- Works over a boot in a wet winter, but they read as trail kit anywhere else.

the piece
Short gaiters with a 210-denier lower panel, a hook at the lace and an instep strap. They keep grit and standing water out of the top of a boot.
what it does, and where it stops
how we test- garment weight
- 96 g in EU 50 / M
- packed volume
- 0.2 L
- water repellency
- standard — PFC-free DWR, C0 chemistry, applied to the face fabric
- when the finish runs out
- 20 to 30 machine washes, sooner where a pack or saddle rubs
- how you will know
- water stops beading and rolls into the weave instead; the face fabric darkens where it soaks in
- how to renew it
- Wash it clean first, then apply a wash-in or spray-on repellent, then reactivate with a warm tumble dry or a warm iron through a cloth.
- hydrostatic resistance (EN ISO 811)
- Not published.
- breathability (EN ISO 11092)
- Not published.
Measured stuffed into its own pocket and compressed by hand — not a machine-compressed figure.
Sheds a shower and wind-driven spray. It is not a rain barrier: in steady rain the face fabric wets out and water reaches the layer underneath, first at the shoulders and the seat.
Not measured. This garment is water-repellent only, so no hydrostatic figure is published for it.
Not yet measured. No breathability figure is published and no breathability claim is made until it is measured to this standard.
- 210-denier lower panel
- Lace hook and replaceable instep strap
- Rear hook-and-loop closure, no zip to clog

Garment measurements in centimetres, taken flat. Tolerance ±1 cm — a run of fabric is never exact, and we would rather print the tolerance than pretend it away.

environmental characteristics
- Coated face fabric — sort as textile, not as plastic packaging
- Finish is a surface treatment, not a laminate, so the base cloth stays a single fibre family
- Zips and pullers are replaceable rather than bonded
