Product Description
The Kahtoola Traction System was developed by hand in a small family workspace called “The Shop” in 1999 and set the direction of our company to develop outdoor products that matter. The KTS was the result of founder and owner Danny Giovale wanting to improve safety for snowy alpine approaches based on his personal experience climbing, and desire to create a product that would get people where they want to go and add a new level of security and performance to lightweight flexible footwear.
Kahtoola INSTAgaiters Low
HIKE, RUN AND EXPLORE
Inspired by the word “instigate”—to initiate an action or event—the INSTAgaiter protects against rocks, dirt, sand, burrs, light moisture and whatever else gets dished out on trail runs and hikes. Fit the versatile INSTAgaiter over your shoes when exploring to elevate your hiking or running experience.
EFFICIENT DESIGN: The stretch-woven nylon material is lightweight and durable.
ADDED SECURITY: An attached lace hook provides added security.
LIGHTWEIGHT: The INSTAgaiter has a fitted design that is lightweight, water-resistant, and comfortable while maintaining a high level of durability.
PRODUCT FEATURES
ADJUSTABLE AND DURABLE
The adjustable instep strap easily adjusts to fit a variety of footwear sizes and profiles, and is extremely durable (and replaceable) with an expected life of 1,000 miles.
FLEXES WITH YOUR FOOT
The asymmetrical zipper provides increased comfort as the ankle flexes, the zipper slider folds down at the top and locks to prevent unzipping, and a flap behind the zipper offers extra comfort and moisture protection.
COMFORTABLE FIT
A toggle lock elasticized drawcord seals out elements from entering the top of the gaiter, while a soft undergarment stitching lining the drawcord is comfortable against the skin, making it ideal for all-day use.
BREATHABLE MATERIAL
Carefully tailored for a snug, comfortable fit, the water-resistant and breathable stretch-woven nylon fabric prevents heat from getting trapped.
