Snake Gaiters Snake Chaps, Waterproof Lower Legs Snake Guards, Snake Bite Protective Gaiters, Anti-Snake Gaiters for Men/Women, Adjustable Size for Hunting/Hiking/Farm Working

I purchased these snake guards as a replacement for similar ones that I have used for six years. We have copperhead and rattle snakes in our area that I want to avoid while working on our wooded acreage. I wear them over steel toe boots. They work well when using power equipment including chainsaw and line trimmer.I am very pleased with the design of these guards and the ease of putting them on. There are inner velcro straps allowing them to be tightened snug against your lower leg before wrapping the outer layer around and buckling. It was always difficult keeping my previous guards tight around my leg while simultaneously trying to buckle them. At times I had to ask my husband to buckle them while I kept them secure. This design keeps the tension off the buckle and keeps them from coming loose while wearing (which was a continuous problem with my older brand). Another excellent feature is the small velcro band on the straps that keep the ends from hanging from your legs.Wearing a snake guard does add some weight to your legs and may seem cumbersome, but these are light enough that I don't have any problem with my balance or walking with them at 70 years of age. No problems with using insect repellent on them to avoid ticks and chiggers.

I found them very easy to use; two years prior I was hunting my land very dense woods. I stumbled upon a copperhead 1'1/2" away from my boot. I bought my first pair to give me the ease of mind while clearing trails, they did great keeping all the sharp thorns, brambles, and others from digging into my jeans and legs. I didn't run into any snakes that trip, but didn't get cut up either. They were durable, didn't slip around. That is why I purchased two more sets for guests. Well done!

Gave them a 4 star rating because they are a bit too stiff. However, I'm confident they will help should and if a snake decides to bite. Also, they are a bit large for my female thinner legs but I'll use them.

satisfied with these gators. Easy to put on and take of and are excellent protection.

Got them into the field last week. Design is excellent, materials/construction seem to be solid.

Strapped them on after figuring out the snap size. Felt very protected due to the thickness of the item. Especially made me comfortable while I was cutting the thick brush and weeds in the wet section drain ditch near the pond which houses water moccasins.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I bought these thinking they would solve my concerns about hunting in snake country. However I am 5’10” and 235lbs and I could not get these fastened around my calf’s. They seem a tad wonky as well. Luckily I have a smaller son I was an,e to give them to him.

My brother loves them
