SnakeProtex™ - Expedition Gaiters

SnakeProtex™ - Expedition Gaiters

Engineered for ultimate safety and all-day comfort, the SnakeProtex™ Expedition Gaiters offer scientifically proven protection against venomous snake bites without weighing you down. Developed in Australia and heavily upgraded for superior performance, the new Expedition model is 43% lighter than its predecessor while delivering exceptional puncture resistance for outdoor workers, campers, and hikers.

Best For Campers, hikers, council workers, surveyors, hunters, line trimmers, and home gardeners working or exploring in areas inhabited by venomous snakes.

Key Features

• Ultra-Lightweight Design: Weighing approximately 290g per gaiter (down from 450g on the older Extreme model), the Expedition is 43% lighter, making it vastly more comfortable for long-distance treks and extended outdoor work.

• Certified Puncture Resistance: Rigorously tested using the machine-held hypodermic needle puncture resistance test (ASTM F2878-10), achieving an incredible 20 Newtons of force—double the highest level 5 (10N) rating.

• Secure, Adjustable Fit: Equipped with adjustable top leg straps and flexible boot straps to accommodate a wide range of footwear and ensure a close, secure fit against the leg.

• Enhanced Zipper Security: Features an internal stiffener under the zip to keep the gaiter extended to full height, complemented by a new press-tab closure over the zipper to prevent slippage.

• Dual-Purpose Durability: Tough outer fabric, water-repellent tendencies, and robust inner protective layers also make these gaiters ideal for brush cutting and line trimming.
