The wearing of gaiters reduces the risk from snake bites. As there is no current Australian Standard for gaiter design, we make no guarantees with respect to the same.

FITTING

Gaiters should sit snugly around the body of your boots to stop water and mud migrating . To fit, first, get the correct side. Then:

1. Identify the left and right gaiters. The front opening should face the inside of the leg, with the top buckle on the inner side.
2. Starting at the back, wrap a gaiter around your calf.
3. Ensure the under-boot strap sits neatly in your instep and tighten to remove looseness. This will help to keep out water, debris and muck. (Once you have fitted your RFG gaiters, you can cut off excess strap, leaving a few centimetres above the buckle and then heat-sealing the ends.)
4. Fasten the front hook to your laces as close to the toe as possible.
5. Securely fasten the hook-and-loop closure on the front of the shin.
6. Repeat for other gaiter.
