Mountain Hardwear Ascent Review

Original price was: $65.00.Current price is: $19.50.

SKU: 1071941849 Category:

The Mountain Hardwear Ascent gaiter seems to have been made with close attention to all details, except the instep strap buckle, which broke the first time we put them on. We were a little bummed, as this rendered the gaiters mostly useless, and the piece is pretty much impossible to replace. A quick perusal of online reviews showed us that we were not the first to experience this issue. In addition, these gaiters are heavy and not very breathable, making it hard for us to recommend them for any application. For a durable pair of gaiters that might outlive you climbing career, check out the Outdoor Research Crocodile. Or, for supreme breathability in the mountains, our Editors’ Choice winner, the Rab Latok Alpine, is hard to beat.
