Gaiters

Aria XCR

Paddy Pallin offers a selection of top-performing gaiters from Sea to Summit. The Overland is a great value gaiter designed from durable 450 Denier ripstop nylon for general bushwalking. For those wanting to expose their shins to harsher terrain, the Quagmire Canvas gaiters are made from 8oz core-spun canvas and Hypalon® for additional reinforcement. As a top end option, look to the lightweight GORE-TEX® Alpine Gaiter, which is designed for trekking, mountaineering and ski touring in extreme conditions.

Cutting edge design and high performance construction combine to make the Aria XCR a firm favourite in town and on the trails. Ultra-light for ease of movement, this shoe is still sturdy enough to withstand the rugged outdoor conditions. In fact, the mesh upper and suede inserts have been positioned to wrap the foot for increased stability, and the tough toe rand adds that extra durability. Waterproof and breathable, the Aria shoe is the perfect fit. Weight: Sizes: Colours: Price:
