Black Diamond Cirque Gaiters - Black, Size M

Snow, scree, and slush creeping into your boots can turn a great day in the mountains into a miserable one. The Black Diamond Cirque Gaiters keep debris out with a low-profile, waterproof design built for alpine climbing, ski touring, and fast-moving hikes. Made with BD.dry™ 2L upper fabric and a rugged 600d polyester lower, these gaiters shrug off moisture and abrasion while remaining breathable enough for high-output efforts. A hook-and-loop front closure with snap, drawcord top, and Hypalon instep strap deliver a secure, customizable fit over any footwear. Metal lace hooks and reinforced ankles add durability where it counts. At just 110 g per pair, they’re light enough to live in your pack until the terrain demands them.

Tips

For the best fit, put on your boots first, then attach the gaiter's lace hook to your boot laces before securing the front closure and instep strap. Adjust the drawcord at the top to keep snow out without restricting circulation. When not in use, roll them up and store in a pack pocket—they're light enough to forget until you need them.
