Tatonka Gaiter 420 HD Junior ghette - nero

Young hikers tackling muddy trails or snowy paths need reliable leg protection, and the Tatonka Gaiter 420 HD Junior delivers exactly that. Built with rugged 420 HD nylon in a T-Square Rip Light weave, these gaiters shrug off abrasion from rocks and brush while a PU coating sheds light rain and splashes. The full-length front Velcro closure makes them easy for kids to put on and take off, even with cold fingers. A metal lace hook anchors the gaiter to the boot, and the adjustable Hypalon underfoot strap keeps everything snugly in place, preventing the gaiter from riding up during active play. With a mid-calf to lower knee height, they offer coverage without restricting movement, and at just 160 grams per pair, they won't weigh down little legs. Whether it's a family hike, a school trekking day, or a snowshoeing adventure, these gaiters keep debris, snow, and moisture out of boots, so kids stay comfortable and focused on the trail.
