Alpkit Colca Gaiters

Waterproof and breathable high-cut gaiters for keeping out the elements and debris when hiking, trekking, and backpacking.

'Come rain or shine'. There's something satisfying about really really meaning it, about waking up in the morning and heading out whatever the weather. The Colca waterproof gaiters were designed to keep you protected from the elements on those wet days out in the hills. They save your regular trousers from getting a soaking or covered in mud, allowing you to cut down on your washing or pack less for a longer trip.

  • 3 Year Alpine Bond
  • Waterproof and breathable high-cut gaiter for trekking and hiking
  • Lightweight upper with robust Cordura lower for abrasion resistance
  • Bar-tacked stress points for strength
  • Velcro front closure makes them easy to get on
  • Alloy tension lock top adjustor for a secure fit
  • Stainless steel lace hook and underfoot strap
  • Tapered for a slim fit over boots

And they're only £28!
