The Trekmates Torridon DRY Gaiters are waterproof, breathable hiking gaiters that use a 2-layer DRY membrane on the upper panels and reinforced ripstop lowers to keep rain, mud and trail debris out of your boots. Weighing just 7.41 oz per pair and offered in three adjustable size ranges from 35 to 48, they seal the gap between boot and trouser so water and grit stay outside on wet, muddy and overgrown routes.
Built with a hook-and-loop storm flap over the front zip and an elastic ankle and rear edge for a secure hold around the boot, this piece of outdoor clothing is designed for hikers, backpackers and hillwalkers who cross bogs, scree and dew-soaked grass. Hand-picked by our gear specialists, the Torridon DRY pairs genuine waterproof-breathable protection up top with tough abrasion resistance where the trail hits hardest.
Who are the Torridon DRY Gaiters for?
These gaiters suit hikers, backpackers and hillwalkers who tackle wet, muddy and rugged terrain, from peat bogs and river crossings to scree slopes and overgrown paths. Anyone whose boots keep filling with grit, mud or dew will benefit most, since the gaiters seal the boot-to-trouser gap that trail runners and low socks leave exposed. With three adjustable size ranges they fit a broad range of users and boot sizes, making them a versatile addition to a three-season hiking kit.
What are the Torridon DRY Gaiters made of?
The Torridon DRY combines two performance zones: 2-layer DRY waterproof-breathable panels across the upper, where staying dry and venting sweat matters, and reinforced ripstop polyester on the lower, where rocks and brush cause the most wear. The whole gaiter is 100 percent polyamide with a PU coating and a DWR water-repellent finish that makes surface water bead and run off. A front zip protected by a hook-and-loop storm flap keeps the closure sealed against debris.
How do you put on the Torridon DRY Gaiters?
To fit them, pull each gaiter over the boot, close the front zip and press down the storm flap, then cinch the elastic ankle and adjustable drawcord for a snug seal against trousers and boot. The elastic rear edge helps hold everything in place as you walk. To maintain performance, rinse off mud after wet outings and periodically refresh the DWR treatment, since the water-repellent finish is what keeps the outer fabric from wetting out over time.

Torridon DRY Gaiters FAQ
Are the Trekmates Torridon DRY gaiters waterproof?
Yes, the upper panels use 2-layer DRY waterproof-breathable technology, backed by a DWR-treated, PU-coated polyamide build. That combination keeps rain, bog water and wet grass out of your boots while still letting perspiration escape, so your lower legs stay dry and comfortable on wet routes.
How much do the gaiters weigh?
They weigh 7.41 oz per pair. That light weight means you get real waterproof and abrasion protection without a noticeable penalty to your stride, making them easy to keep in a pack and pull on whenever the terrain or weather turns wet or muddy.
What sizes are available?
They come in three size ranges: 35 to 40, 38 to 44, and 42 to 48. Combined with an adjustable drawcord and elastic ankle, these ranges fit a wide span of boot and calf sizes, so most hikers can find a secure, custom fit over their footwear.
How do the gaiters attach to boots?
They secure with an elastic ankle and rear edge plus an adjustable drawcord over the boots and trousers. A front zip with a hook-and-loop storm flap seals the closure, so the gaiters stay snugly in place and block dirt and water from entering while you walk.
Are these gaiters durable on rough terrain?
Yes, the lower panels are reinforced ripstop polyester built to resist abrasion. That tougher fabric protects the high-wear area against rocks, scree and dense vegetation, while the waterproof-breathable upper handles moisture, giving the gaiters durability where the trail is hardest on gear.
