G'day Scott,

I have seen these used on elastic-sided boots, as long as you get good tension on the underfoot strap, they shouldn't move too far.

G'day Kim,

They'll get abit easier with time, but you should get away with just adjusting them once when you first get them.
Watch our product review video from about the 5:25 mark to see a demonstration on adjusting the foot strap, I find that's the easiest way.
 

G'day Paul,

The mid-calf is the measurement you will need to primarily go off, as otherwise the gaiters won't fit at all.
The top part is adjustable, so you should be able to get the upper fit ok, and don't forget you'll also need allowance if you are wearing pants.
It sounds like your gaiters will sit quite low over the foot, and maybe have a small amount of bunching, but it should affect comfort or performance.  Dont forget you will also be wearing shoes or boots with gives you extra length.

G'day Richard,

They possibly could be but I think it would be at the cost of practicality and comfort.
I understand the anxiety snakes can cause, having had a few encounters with them myself, but I do want to stress that you cannot rely upon gaiters to give you protection against snakes.
These particular gaiters are known to be one of the best options, but there is never any guarantee for prevention of a bite, especially if its the snake is in heightened defense mode, even if you fold them over.
There's not much that you can do about that other than being aware and staying out of the way whenever possible.
Check out the PDF on the product page on advice about snake prevention and treatment.

G'day Darren,

The Quagmire Canvas Gaiters provide some level of rotection from snake bite, especially in the lower reinforced section, however they are not able to completely stop a snake bite. We'd recommend having a read of the "Advice on Snakebite Prevention and Treatment" pdf on the product page as it outlines some more in-depth information.

G'day Rachel,

It would be worth having a quick look at the size guide, as there is a mid-calf and top-calf measurement. Based on your provided measurements you might be right between the two in terms of calf size. Given you're in Adelaide I'd recommend dropping into the shop if you can, that way you can try them on and make sure they're the right size for you.

G'day James,

I would steer toward the Medium as they'll give you a little more breathing room for pants and your boots. The tops are adjustable, so you can tighten them in at the top of your calf as needed.

G'day Royce,

Base purely on calf circumference I think the Large will be the best option for you. Shoe size doesn't really come in to play as much as calf circumference. 

G'day Jane,

Based on the size guide I think you should be ok with the Medium size, the small might just fit, but I'd hate for your calves to feel restricted, so it's probably best to stick with the Medium.

G'day Mason,

Your calf circumference (at the widest point) with those boots on should fall withing the calf circumference measurement provided in the specifications. Based on the information you've provided I would suggest the Large as the medium may not fit over the boots. These gaiters are really designed to go over ankle height boots, so they do flair out a little at the base to fit your boots, but for higher boots like yours, I think you'll need to extra space if the boots come up to the widest point on your calf.

G'day Jake,

The Quagmire Canvas Gaiters have an adjustable top so should still be able to tightened to fit your calf. I would think the small size should be fine to fit.  

It's more than likely a small size will suit your daughter and possibly a medium for you, Rosemary, but it is dependent of your calf circumference. Good news is that we have this information on our product page. If you look in the 'Specifications' section there is a field called 'Calf Circumference:'. When you choose a different size this information will update to reflect the recommended calf circumference for the chosen size. Hopefully, this helps you to choose the right gaiter for you. 

G'day Gene,

I've just had a chat with our gaiter and hiking footwear experts on the shop floor. They suggested that you'd be best off going for the XL Sea to Summit Quagmire Canvas Gaiters. 

G'day Troy,

You'll have no worries at all using the Sea to Summit Quagmire Canvas Gaiters with your work boots. 

G'day Gary,

Sea to Summit recommend a maximum calf circumference of 47cm so I'd be inclined to say no, they won't fit sorry. I'd recommend looking into One Planet RFG Gaiters that are made in Victoria, but as we don't sell them you'd have to call them direct. From memory thier XL size caters to bigger calves. I hope this helps. 

G'day Sidney,

The Sea to Summit Quagmire Canvas Gaiters are water resistant but not waterproof, no. Prolonged exposure to moisture will cause the gaiters to wet out but they should remain dry inside during light rain, stepping through puddles etc. 

G'day Jim,

My thoughts are only that I think you're right on the money! I reckon the extra large Sea to Summit Quagmire Canvas Gaiters will be perfect for you.

G'day Simon,

For a size US10 boot I'd recommend you go for a Large in the Sea to Summit Quagmire Canvas Gaiter. It'll fit your boot better than a Medium and it'll give you enough room around the calf. 

G'day Phillip, 

From your shoe size I would say that you should go for the Large size in the Quagmire Canvas Gaiters. But, you should also consider the size of your calves, as that's another crucial area.

The Large is ideal for calf circumference between 41-45cm, and the X Large is 43-47cm, so you should be able to find something that will fit from those sizes. 

If that's the case Philip, my colleague has just told me that he had the same Scarpa SL boots (can you believe it?) as you in a similar size, and he wears a small gaiter and finds that is a good fit for him as he has calves that are on the slimmer side. 

A small would be a better fit at 37-40cm than my original suggestion, and will still give you a good seal at the top of the shoe, it just won't cover as much of the boot.

G'day Joe, 

I've just confirmed by having a look at the stock we have on the floor and comparing it to the Sea to Summit website - and you're right, they've changed the velcro strap to an alloy hook/buckle. 

I've just gone through and updated the images and the product description to reflect the correct details, so those should be live right now.

Thanks so much for pointing this out for us, we must have just not noticed that update when the new stock came in!
