El material es de muy buena calidad... Sin embargo para terrenos donde tienes que estar subiendo y bajando colinas o cerros se vuelve poco practica... La rigidez de la polaina te limita el movimiento sobre todo que al subir por un cerro se tiende a doblar mas las piernas para tener mas impulso pero eso hace que la polaina tope con el zapato o con la parte posterior de la pierna y te limita el movimiento... Para terrenos planos es una muy buena opción caminar entre pastizales o donde no haya pendientes o subidas y bajas pronunciadas es practica

3-10-2015. My pair have worked satisfactorily since their purchase in 2012. They are used with my volunteer work off trail with invasive weed control, and nature/landscape photography. They are light, and also guard well against cacti spines and thistle thorns.8-31-2016. Purchased a second pair for hiking wife. Only complaint was the extreme length of time for delivery (several months), but that had nothing to do with the product's quality. Highly recommended. The camo pattern shows gouges and scratches much less than the solid green color.

The product appears to be quality. The inserts are, in fact, in such a way that they overlay each other for full protection. There will be no gaps between the inserts. This is great. I was a bit concerned about it. I loosened the buckle length to all the way out so that while on, there is room for circulation. I don't care if they fit loose, they will still do the job. Also if loosened, they fall a bit over your foot for a bit more protection. The straps and buckles are typical plastic and nylon, not much to say here. I know a herpetologist that uses these and the pair he bought (another brand) had the buttons come apart, so he took his to be altered. He had zippers put on, it was cheap and an easy fix. So if for some reason this should happen, I will do the same. I look forward to testing these out on my hikes when I'm looking for rattlesnakes to study and photograph. Since I have already worn a similar pair, I can say that these definitely make you feel a bit more confident walking around snake habitat. I hike in the desert twice a week. Don't let these give you a false sense of security, however. You should always be aware of your surroundings regardless of using gaiters. Great purchase, great price. Let me also add that if you put them on snugly, they should fit just below the knee to the ankle. Since I want the circulation and will wear them loosely, they actually come down to rest over the top of my foot, lowering the whole thing below my knee a little. You'll have to play with them yourself.Oh, and they will obviously protect you from thorns and cacti. I live in Arizona where it's hot and thorny everywhere. My legs will thank me for having these...no more scratches and cuts!1/30/16 Update....still love these! Nothing has broken, warped or worn. I use these day and night during the summer and definitely say these are one of the best purchases I have ever made!3/5/2022 Update....I'm still wearing the pair I purchased in 2015. I still love these. I read a few of the other recent reviews and wanted to say that if your buckle is breaking, it's because you have it too tight and are putting too much stress on the plastic. I wear these in 117 degree weather in Arizona. Even after years of use, the plastic buckles have never gotten brittle and broken from the extreme heat, as what typically happens to plastic in Arizona. You don't want to wear them tight. You want them loose enough that they go down over the top of your shoe. These aren't meant to be, and certainly don't need to be, tight fitting in order to work.

I live in the middle of nowhere with lots of copperhead, timber rattlers and cotton mouth. I have a cpl pair of snake boots that I wear when I have to, but I much prefer these gaiters. I have no doubt it will protect against a possible strike. the protective plates overlap each other and would have to be a one in a million strike for them to not be effective, but I would say your boots would be the cause of it. Easy on off, lightweight very tolerable to wear even in hot humid weather. Stays in place and wraps all the way around your leg with no gaps I can see wearing 8" boots.

The product was as described and arrived nicely packaged without damage. There weren't any instructions included but not as there needs to be, just take them out of the box and put them on. They the straps are adjustable for various sized calves and fit mine nicely under or over pants when wearing boots. These have hard plastic connectors not velcro, it is possible to break them if you aren't careful or from long term repetitive use. I would consider these good for occasional to moderate use, if you plan on wearing them daily then you may want to invest a little more in a heavy duty pair. I saw lots of questions about comfort, they are alright considering the purpose, comfort wasn't the priority. But it really feels no different from taking corrugated cardboard wrapping it around your leg and duct taping it. Obviously these are plastic and prevent snakes but it will give you the idea of how it feels to walk in them. I purchased the camo pair and they were as pictured, had wished the straps were a color similar to the pattern but they are black and kinda stand out.

Have not had it tested yet and hope I never have them tested. Overall though they look like they wil work in case of a snake bite. Fit around my legs fine had no problem fairly comfortable to I have worn them all day on a couple occasions and felt pretty safe and comfortable with them. Would buy again if I lost these.

I bought the Rattler Scaletech Gaiters to protect my lower legs while cutting wood and cleaning up after the storms. The sharp sticks and heavy briars had been going thru my heavy duty blue jeans and socks. I just spent a day in the worst conditions I have, and nothing penetrated the Gaiters. They are easy to put on, very comfortable, and light. Mobility is not compromised. The overlapping shells not only protect, they keep the Gaiter in place. These are true leg armor. If you do anything in the woods from working to hiking, these are a must have protection.
