The CANELANA gaiters are made of softshell with a membrane. Wind-/waterproof, breathable, do not get wet/damp on the inside and do not make noise. Very comfortable, the fabric is thick enough and the gaiters are soft and nice. Good fit. 4 colors; black, green, navy and red - 3 sizes; S, M, L

About washing and impregnation:

We recommend washing with Nikwax Tech Wash, which is a non-solvent soap that can be used frequently to wash garments and equipment without damaging the waterproofing and membrane. Use this product instead of soap containing solvent. 

For impregnation, we recommend Nikwax TX-Direct, which is intended for re-impregnation of all technical garments with membranes.
Use after washing the garment with Nikwax Tech Wash and after every 3-4 washes. TX-Direct adds a water-repellent layer to the outer fabric, which is important to maintain the garment's breathability in wet weather.

Good reasons to use gaiters:

• Protects boots and trousers against water, soil and vegetation
• You avoid getting gras and vegetation into boots or shoes
• You can take off the gaiters and boots, and your trousers are clean 
• Water- and wind proof
• You can walk as if you had rubber boots on your feet, but with the comfort of hiking boots 
• Economy - you protect your expensive hiking boots and trousers against unnecessary wear and tear
