Gaiters & shoe covers
In this category you'll find gaiters and shoe covers for outdoor activities such as hiking, trail running, mountaineering, snowshoeing and trekking – from lightweight, breathable models for summer to robust, waterproof gaiters for alpine terrain and winter conditions. Brands such as Salomon, Mammut, Black Diamond and Outdoor Research offer a carefully curated selection for anyone who wants to stay dry and protected in any weather, with fast delivery throughout Switzerland and the Principality of Liechtenstein.
Whether you want to buy gaiters online, find suitable protection for muddy trails or equip yourself for winter snowshoe hikes: the range covers lightweight trail running gaiters, mid-height hiking gaiters for trekking and mountain tours, as well as long, robust models for alpine terrain and high-altitude tours. This makes it easy for hikers, trail runners and mountaineers to quickly find the right leg protection for various activities, weather conditions and requirements – conveniently from home.
For trail running and fast runs in alpine terrain, short, lightweight gaiters that fit snugly around the ankle and protect against small stones and dirt are ideal. For trekking and long hikes, mid-height gaiters with a durable instep strap that reliably protect against moisture and scree are perfect. For mountaineering, high-altitude tours, snowshoeing and winter activities, long, waterproof gaiters with a robust membrane such as Gore-Tex are the right choice, as they reach up to just below the knee and can withstand deep snow and extreme conditions.
A key focus is on waterproof gaiters with a breathable membrane that protect against rain, snow and slush while ensuring good ventilation. Models with Gore-Tex, Pertex or comparable membranes offer reliable moisture protection without overheating the legs. This keeps you protected and comfortable in any weather – whether on wet hiking trails, crossing rivers or in deep snow.

This category is ideal for hikers, trail runners, mountaineers, snowshoe hikers and outdoor enthusiasts in Switzerland who want to reliably protect their legs and shoes from moisture, snow, mud, scree and dust. Hunters, ski tourers and anyone who spends a lot of time in nature will also find the right protection for a wide variety of weather and terrain conditions here.
When buying gaiters, it's worth paying attention to durable materials such as Cordura nylon, a waterproof and breathable membrane and a robust instep strap made of Hypalon or rubber. The right size is based on shoe size and calf circumference – a well-fitting gaiter closes tightly without restricting freedom of movement. After each use, gaiters should be cleaned of coarse dirt and air-dried so that the material properties are preserved for a long time.
