Lightweight Protection for Rugged, Buggy Terrain
The Outdoor Research Insect Shield® Ferrosi Trail Gaiter delivers versatile weather protection, abrasion resistance, and built-in insect defense for long days on technical trails. Designed with legendary Ferrosi fabric and updated for improved fit, these gaiters provide lightweight durability without sacrificing mobility.
Constructed from a bluesign® approved recycled nylon blend with stretch, the Ferrosi fabric is breathable, quick drying, and movement-mirroring for all-day comfort. Insect Shield® technology helps repel mosquitoes, ticks, and other biting insects, making these gaiters ideal for buggy alpine and backcountry conditions.
A low-profile elastic cinch at the top hem, reinforced boot lace hook, and durable Hypalon instep strap ensure a secure fit. The adjustable internal instep strap allows fine-tuning without removing your shoes, and the offset hook-and-loop closure makes it easy to distinguish left from right. Reflective logos enhance visibility in low-light environments.
