"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""I’ve used these on everything from muddy alpine hikes to desert scrambles. They’re so light you forget they’re there, but they do an awesome job keeping grit and water out of your boots. The NetPlus fabric is a bonus—it’s strong and recycled."" We count on the Outdoor Research Helium UL Gaiter to keep our socks dry and our boots grit-free during fast-and-light treks. Made from ultralight 2. 5L Pertex Shield NetPlus fabric—constructed using recycled fishing nets—these gaiters balance waterproof protection, breathability, and packability for serious miles ahead. The minimalist design cuts bulk without sacrificing durability, thanks to a hardwearing Hypalon instep strap and reinforced double-stitched closures. A drawcord cinch at the top hem and under-boot lace hook keep them securely in place, while the offset hook-and-loop closure makes it easy to differentiate between left and right. Whether we’re charging through wet brush or gravel-laden ridgelines, these gaiters keep the trail outside—where it belongs."
