One Planet RFG Gaiters

ONE PLANET RFG Gaiters are designed for seasoned bushwalkers. They give knee-high protection when scrub wriggling in remote areas, and are cut to fit well, stand tall and stay closed. The upper is made from hard-wearing, breathable canvas paired with abrasion-resistant Cordura nylon cuffs for outstanding ventilation and comfort.

The carefully considered details of the RFGs add up to better journeys. Left and right gaiters keep the openings shielded, with the security of alloy C-clips at the top and a press-stud at the bottom. A wide hook-and-loop closure at the front adds shin protection and cleverly protects the lace hook. The adjustable under-strap and low-profile buckle complete a tailored fit: reducing snags whilst keeping water, mud and sand at bay.

Bushwalkers know: RFGs are Really Fabulously Good!

Canvas Construction
The upper is made from 500 gsm cotton canvas: it’s tough, durable and has good breathability. It brushes off the sticks, scrub and reduces risk of injury on an adventurous bushwalk, making it the perfect material for gaiters. The 750 denier Cordura^® nylon used on the gaiters’ base gives excellent abrasion resistance and strength in a lightweight material. The two fabrics work together beautifully to create a heavy-duty, tough-as set.

Low-Profile Buckle
ONE PLANET RFG Gaiters are built for hard tracks. They are designed to give protection while allowing freedom of movement. The low-profile buckle on our under-boot strap is specifically designed to sit slim and secure while avoiding snags. It’s one of the many tiny but important details that will be appreciated in South-west Tassie (or the North Prom!), on snow-filled plains, soft sand and rutted tracks.

Left and Right
The RFG Gaiters are designed to keep brush, mud and debris out at all times, even when pushing through harsh scrub. These gaiters have been refined during years of walking through the Aussie bush, and they’re built to withstand antipodean conditions. Each pair has a left and right gaiter: the hook-and-loop closure on the front openings to the outside of your leg, while the C-clip top buckle keeps the closure secure.
