Gravel Gaiters
Gravel Gaiters
Find my size
Born in the mud of Midwest gravel races, the Gravel Gaiters keep grit out and your momentum up. Inspired by trail-running scree gaiters, this cycling-specific design balances breathability and durability so you can charge through rain ruts, creek crossings, and peanut-butter roads without filling your shoes with debris.
A locking zipper holds steady when the course gets rowdy, while a durable Hypalon midfoot strap secures the fit through miles of pedaling and hike-a-bike sections. A PFAS-free PI Dry® C0 DWR helps shed spray and muck, so the gaiters rinse clean and dry fast for the next ride.
Pair with adventure-ready footwear from our Gravel Cycling Shoes lineup for a head-to-toe setup that thrives when conditions turn sloppy.

USE SIMPLE DETERGENTS WITH NO ADDITIVES Never use detergents with fabric softeners, perfumes or any additive type product. The general rule of thumb is the simpler the better. Many detergents with additives leave "surfactants" behind on a fabric's fibers that inhibit the technical performance. Typically the best detergents to use will have "Clear" or "Free" in their names. Don't pour the detergent directly onto the clothing, put it in the washer first, when you start the water. If something is not functionally working, but is not dirty, try rinsing it twice in warm to hot water. This will help get rid of the harmful surfactants. READ THE CONTENT CARE LABEL: On the inside of your garment, or on the hangcard, there are instructions for the care of that individual piece. On garments this will be on a side seam or back seam label. Follow those directions. On finer fabrics, use a "Gentle" cycle. Close all zippers, attach "hook and loop" closures on gloves YOU CAN USE THE DRYER, CAREFULLY: If you use a dryer be sure to use a lower / warm heat setting (Do NOT use a commercial dryer or a "Hot" setting). This will often restore the fabric and help the water and wind repellent qualities. If in doubt, hang the clothing to dry.

One of my favorite pieces of gear
"Finished a 7 day gravel tour in Iceland and wore these every day. Paired with dense wool socks it was the winning combo. Gets you through stream crossings. Booties would last a day. Keeps feet warm and doesn’t allow pebbles and dirt to get in. I wear a 45 and the large fit perfect and the zipper stayed put. Not for the bike path maybe. But if you’re riding in austere environments they’re irreplaceable. Get em while they’re hot."
"Ordered the larger size per the reviews and they’re perfect for my women’s size 8. 5 winter riding shoes. Cant see how these would fit any size men’s shoe though. Very snug fit."
Weird sizing and a missing size chart
"The sizing chart on the website doesn't work, these seem to be way too small to fit over my biking shoes."
Kept my shoes free of grit and gravel
"I typically end a ride with gravel and mud in my shoes, primarily on gravel rides. I purchased these hoping they would be my cure and I have to say they’re almost perfect. Although I only have two rides in these so far, one was a 60mile ride as a trial run and then wore them in a gravel century and finished both rides free of gravel in my shoes. My complaints are that these do run small, but they were no more difficult to put on than any other shoe cover. You do need to make sure your socks are tall enough because I don’t think these would be very comfortable against your skin. It took a little bit of effort to get them situated so these weren’t pulling my socks down and so that the zipper stayed up. Once they were set they did stay in place for the entire ride. I haven’t tried these in the summer yet, but they are not insulated, so hopefully they won’t be too hot. I wear a size 45 wide Lake MX238 Gravel Shoe and used the L/XL gaiters."
Surprisingly Good
"A good compromise to keep from wearing full booties or full winter shoes. Keep my feet warm and my shoes a little cleaner, and good for those hike a bike routes. I was honestly a bit surprised by how much I like these, and have found them good for gravel and mountain riding."
Large won’t fit my basic shoe.
"You need to be more forth coming with your testing. I can’t believe anyone, excerpt for maybe the company that sold them to Pearl Izumi, actually tried them on. Returned them immediately and got my money back. Just disappointed that a product I wanted was such a disaster."
Doesn’t fit over any shoe I own?
"Not sure what shoes these are made for but I can’t get them to fit over any shoe I own. I ordered the L/XL gaiter and it won’t even fit over the Pearl Izumi shoes I have. I even tried a few regular pairs of shoes. The zipper doesn’t even come close to being able to touch let alone zip up. What’s going on Pearl?"
Snug if over burly shoe
"I wear a size 8 women's X-alp flow pop, and had to struggle to get a S/M over my shoe. Returned for a L/XL. Otherwise great item, zips in rear, sturdy strap, lightweight material."
