Outdoor Research Helium UL Gaiter – Women's backpacking The insulated sleeve slows heatBuilt for fast packers, thru hikers, and minimalist trail runners who hate carrying extra weight, the Helium UL Gaiter keeps trail debris, scree, and mud out of your shoes without slowing you down. Ultralight ripstop fabric resists tears and abrasions, while elastic closures and a front lace hook keep everything locked in place through technical terrain. When you don't need them, they roll down small enough to disappear into a hip belt pocket.
