About this item:

TurtleSkin SnakeArmor Snake Gaiters provide protection for your lower legs against snake fangs, briars, sticks, thorns, and other potential hazards when you're in snake country. The gaiters have a regular size with a 20-inch diameter at the top of the calf, a 17-inch diameter at the ankle, and a length of 16 inches. Each gaiter weighs less than 6 ounces.

These gaiters are reversible, with a camo pattern on one side and a solid tan color on the other. They feature a zipper and cinch strap, as well as grommets, to ensure a secure fit over your pants. It is recommended to wear them with sturdy boots or shoes that snake fangs cannot penetrate.

The Turtleskin system has been tested and proven to repel actual Diamondback Rattler and Cottonmouth snake strikes and bites. It also stopped a simulated snake strike from paired 0.05" diameter needles weighing a total of 150 grams at 0.63 joules. The system successfully prevented a simulated snake bite from a 0.042" diameter needle at 1.49 pounds, with a penetration limit of 0.03".

These gaiters are made in the USA and are waterproof, windproof, breathable, flexible, comfortable, and reversible. They can be machine washed and should be drip dried.

Protect yourself from snake bites while in the desert or woods! In the United States, thousands of people are bitten by venomous snakes, such as rattlesnakes, copperheads, and water moccasins, each year. Rattlesnakes, in particular, can inject large quantities of toxic venom with their fangs, causing tissue damage, swelling, internal bleeding, and intense pain. Non-fatal bites can also result in severe pain and long-lasting tissue damage.

Don't take any risks! Whenever you're in snake country, make sure to protect your lower legs with TurtleSkin SnakeArmor Snake Gaiters. These gaiters are constructed using a patented weave of high-strength ballistic fibers and polyester, making them super tight and durable. Unlike other snake gaiters on the market, they are lightweight, weighing less than 6 ounces each, while still providing effective protection against large rattlesnakes. The reversible design, with a khaki and camo pattern, adds versatility to the gaiters.

When it comes to storage, these gaiters are foldable, convenient for backpacking or saving space. They fold to approximately 8 x 8 x 2 inches. The Turtleskin SnakeArmor system has been tested and proven to withstand a simulated snake strike of paired 0.05" diameter needles weighing a total of 150 grams at 0.63 joules. It also successfully prevented a simulated snake bite from a 0.042" diameter needle at 1.49 pounds, with a penetration limit of 0.03".
