Use these short gaiters for foul weather running and walking. Keeps the mud and slush out while moving in and out of different conditions on the road and sidewalks.

I have been using OR gaiters for decades, my two new favorite models are the latest iteration of the Crocodile in the full and these mid-lengths. Occasionally I don't wear gaiters because the insulation properties can outpace the level of protection needed particularly on higher alpine pursuits. A perfect solution is a shorter gaiter that provides protection but doesn't cover the whole calf, also great when not wearing tall mountain boots.

Used on two separate backpack trips in the Canadian rockies. Wore them with a goretex salomon boot. They fit over my boots and they kept me dry, which were my two main concerns. I have not tried them with a trail runner. I like the mid height much better than a knee height for both pack weight and comfort of wear.
