Snake gaiters are designed to maximize your level of protection against the elements and other hazards likely to be encountered in the wild. They cover the tops of your footwear and offer an added layer of protection against snakes, biting insects, water, and weather.

Do snake gaiters really work?

I'm often asked, "Do Snake Chaps and Snake Gaiters really work?". Without hesitation, I answer "Yes - yes, they do". Most snakes can strike as far as 1/3 to 1/2 of the length of their body, which generally lands most snake bites between the ankle and the knee or on the foot.

What should you wear to prevent snake bites?

Dress in protective clothing when you are out in the wilderness. Wear heavy boots and long pants. Never go barefoot or wear sandals in areas where you are unable to clearly see where you're putting your feet. When you are walking through grassy areas, you should wear closed toe shoes to prevent bites.
