Berghaus Unisex Yeti Attak II Gore-Tex Gaiter

Product Information

Although they’re very popular with a certain brand of hillwalker today – namely, those who relish nothing more than a long yomp through peat bogs, moorland and those types of hiking trails– Yeti gaiters really built their reputation amongst British Army soldiers and Royal Marines commandos who served in the Falklands campaign of 1982. The testing terrain and extreme weather conditions encountered in the islands were a real problem, leading to wet feet and the onset of ‘trench foot’, a fungal infection that causes painful swelling and blisters, first named after the suffering of men in the trenches during the First World War.

Make sure you keep proof of postage.Have a pair of Peter Storm gaiters I bought in haste once for some other boots & they are so lightweight they fall down after a few minutes walking – never even got to a puddle. Never a problem with the Yetis. ii) put the boot inside the gaiter pushing the toe end of the boot flush into the toe end of the rand. Line up the rim of the rand to where you want it to sit on the boot. You won’t be able to get the whole boot in as the fabric of the gaiter isn’t wide enough, but don’t worry, the important thing is to line up the toe section.

I could fit my old style Yetis in less than two minutes. I gave up on my new Skywalks after two HOURS using levers, boiling water and a second pair of hands. They simply would not fit my boots.

x) At this point the rand is inside out and partly over the boot heel. So get a comfy seat and use the handle of your knife to work the rand completely over the heel as if you’re replacing a bike tyre. The YETI® Attak gaiter gives you that extra layer of protection so flooded feet can’t call time on your adventure. Avoid at all costs the new ‘Skywalk’ design of rand and opt only for the original trionic design, if you can still find them. The trouble with traditional gaiters is that they’re not all encompassing of the boot – water can still get in. However there are a kind of gaiter that apparently solve the problem. Some people swear by Berghaus’s yeti gaiters and they’re used by the military. They fit with a tight seal around the outside of the boot, protecting the laces and seams where water might penetrate the boot. I decided to persevere and refitted the gaiters before setting off to Fort William. Again, a crowbar and three people were needed to do this. I would not have this equipment or manpower available on the trail. Consequently, I decided to apply a small amount of glue between the sides of the boots and the rand of the gaiter.

Select your preferred return option: a FREE Royal Mail return label or a paid via Hermes, Collect+, DPD or UPS My current gaiters, Gelert ones bought whilst walking the Pennine Way, might as well be like paper for all the good they now do and after several particularly damp days walking the Southern Upland Way I began to think about replacing them. Yeti Gaiters are pig to fit. I tried the techniques demonstrated on YouTube and read about on blogs. None of them worked. Eventually, I managed to fit them, but it took three people: one to put a foot in the boot, another to stretch the rand over the boot toe with a crowbar the third to use needle pliers to stretch the rand over each side of the boot. We are unable to offer next working day delivery to Northern Ireland, but the standard delivery is available. I've got Yetis on berghuas Kibo boots and they are excellent. As per previous posts though they are on my winter boots and I don't take them off !

Training or exercise in Brecon, Otterburnor Dartmoor ? Is there a better combination than a pair of Berghaus Yeti Gaiters and a pair of Lowa Mountain Boots ? Berghaus Yeti Attak GORE-TEX® Gaiters features a GORE-TEX® Performance shell upper for durable, breathable & reliable waterproof protection that lets perspiration escape to help keep your feet drier and therefore more comfortable.

Bomb proof piece of kit. Worth the effort. Never had wet feet wearing them in some Scottish serious bogs. Marines & infantry I’ve worked with always swore by them, but I never really needed them until I got out.The chaps from RVOps are quite right that it’s “hernia popping stuff” to get them on, especially a new pair…contrary to their technique above there is in my opinion an easier way to get them on which should take you about 15mins per boot and doesn’t require lots of boiling water. Please mark "Returned Goods/Merchandise" option with no (zero) value when filling the Customs Declaration Form. I've found you need to get rid of the front thin strap on the sole section if using a random boot as I have above and possibly doctor the sole slightly as the gap between the fore and rear section on boot is often too narrow for the large strap. Don’t listen to those who say you can get them on with tyre levers, boiling water, washing up liquid etc., unless you intend to take all those items with you on a hike. And if you don’t, how on earth are you supposed to re-fit them should they come off? It’s for this reason I’ve come to rate my favourite piece of kit as utterly useless.
