TurtleSkin
SnakeArmor's patented technology produces the tightest weave ever made
with high-strength ballistic fibers and polyester. Its weave is so tight that snake fangs can't
puncture it— not even large diamondback rattlesnakes! The fabric itself
is snake proof! Turtleskin brand protection is cool, comfortable,
waterproof, windproof, reversible, flexible, patented, and lighter than
other brands. You can also fold gaiters compactly
to approx. 8 x 8 x 2 inches for backpacking, or stuff it into its nylon storage bag. Made in the USA. Many brands of
snake gaiters are heavy, stiff, and bulky, but at 6 ounces each, these
lower leg snake gaiters are lighter in weight than most others on the market, yet are
tested to repel even large rattlesnakes.
