Gonex Snake Gaiters, Waterproof Snake Guards, Snake Bite Protection for Lower Legs, Snake Proof Gaiters Fit for Men & Women, Adjustable Size, Pack of 1

These are made well. They are reasonably comfortable for what they are. I'm confident they would protect from a snake bite.

These are rigid, well constructed with excellent straps and clips to secure the gaiters. Good to attach over pants with significant flaps to cover the shoe tops.

There is a pun in the headline above: The seams might be the weak pont in this snake guard.I have now tested it, at least on a walk about in Crotalus scutulatus territory (scorpion collecting). While I received no strikes I felt somewhat protected by the polyporopylene armor and it was easy to put on and use. The guards drop down enough to protect ankles and I felt enough coverage to be somewhat reassured that I wasn't going to dieThere may be more protective guards, but these guards are probably adequate and nearly infinitely better than nothing.

I bought these guards for working in areas where rattlesnakes are common. They are easy enough to put on and are sturdy. If I were going to do a lot of hiking, I would probably want more of a boot, although these were fine over my hiking boots for the purpose I was using them.

Easy to put on; A bit awkward to chinch up the straps but not a problem after doing it a couple of times.

Ordered these not because of snakes but needed lower leg protection when weed whacking the yard. I was kinda surprised at the really nice quality it is good! It took a bit to get the buckles tight enough and I tell you. It fits! It protects my lower legs from the nasty, nasty rocks and pebbles! In a days work I didn't feel any heaviness in my legs. In fact I forgot I had them on! Don't want to know about snake protection but they work when weed whacking!

nice protection

I don’t know anybody who has a completely straight leg. That is all that would fit comfortably for these. They do not get smaller as they get down to the ankle so the fit is very skewed and they shift back-and-forth. My calves are in the range for the recommended fit and it is very uncomfortable and they are so stiff that I would not want to walk very far in these. The build quality is very nice though in the material seemed good. I trust that no snake could bite through these but I also wouldn’t want to bother wearing them. The way they shift around and don’t fit snug makes them impractical, and the straps loosen themselves as you walk. 3 stars only because the build is nice but that’s all that’s good about them.
