ABSTRACT:
A pair of gaiters, each gaiter having a waterproof neoprene member with opposing top and bottom portions, front and back surfaces, and a seam running lengthwise from the top to the bottom. Each gaiter also has a nylon interior and exterior disposed about the back and front surfaces, respectively, and running lengthwise from the top of the sleeve to the bottom of the sleeve. The neoprene member, the interior, and the exterior define an open-ended sleeve having a frontside and a backside. The gaiters also include a first cinching structure at the top of the sleeve for enclosing the neoprene gaiter around the user's knee region, and a second cinching structure at the bottom of the sleeve for enclosing the neoprene gaiter around the user's ankle region. The first and second cinching structures allow the user to easily slip on and off the neoprene gaiter in order to prevent water, snow, dirt, or mud from entering into the user's boot or shoe. Furthermore, the first and second cinching structures provide waterproof and other protection to the user's lower leg region.
