Easy on and off when using with my boots or vans. No more dirt making its way in and ruining socks. Great for keeping the grass off your laces when weed whacking.

I don’t get too many days at the trails and when I do I’m back and forth from laps to digging..cleaning.. moving water and stacking dirt.. I usually dig with boots on and put on sneakers for laps which if you wear vans high tops you know is easier said than done. Ever since I got the bandits I no longer worry about what’s going on with my feet.. I can just slap on the bandits over my vans and boom! All the digging and laps you can handle without the headache.. I even used them a couple times in heavy rain commuting by bicycle and they definitely kept the water out of the lace area..GOOD INVESTMENT!

I often prefer to wear trail runners or low rubber boots/shoes while building or scouting trails. Because I tuck my pants into my socks for ticks I have to wear gaiters. My Bandits have been great at keeping debris out and staying put unlike many others I’ve tried. Other gaiters I’ve tried didn’t do a good job at staying put like Bandits. Being that they are a jean-like material they absorbed permethrin for ticks very well. I assume they will also absorb the cotton nikwax treatment if desired. I’ve worn them almost daily on the job for several months and they’re holding up great.
