Kahtoola INSTA Gaiters Mid

Inspired by the word “instigate”—to initiate an action or event—the INSTA™gaiter Mid protects against rocks, dirt, sand, burrs, light moisture and whatever else gets dished out on trail runs and hikes. A fitted design and breathable stretch-woven nylon doesn’t trap heat. Off-set zipper entry increases overall comfort. And a durable TPU instep strap easily adjusts to fit a variety of footwear and has an expected life of 1,000 miles. Between outings, the high-performing INSTA™gaiter Mid can stay attached to footwear or pack down super small and lightweight in the included tote sack.
