With the lightest weight and most streamlined design, the Bugout Thru Gaiters are ideal for fast-and-light adventures through dirty, buggy environments. Proven to be effective at repelling a wide range of bugs like mosquitos, ticks, flies, chiggers, ants, and midges (no-see-ums), and safe for the entire family, Insect Shield® technology works just like sprays and lotions but stays on your gear - not on your skin. This fabric is just as stretchy as it is durable, with weather resistance that will let rain roll right off and quick-drying for use day after day. A shoelace hook and drawcord cinch at its top hem ensures a snug fit that keeps debris out of your trail runners and low-profile hiking boots, and a replaceable instep strap makes gear fixes on-the-go a breeze.
