Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better!
Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Phone then and check delivery times before placing your order.
Not elasticated around the bottom, so may not be suitable if your boots are soft and flexible.
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Ones that fit
I'm fairly sure there isn't a standard size model, and some come in 2 sizes, others in 3. It also depends on how much you want to spend, which leads to the old "buy cheap, buy twice".
Pretty much all of the big mountain brands sell gaiters, but whether you can find any to try on is another matter. If you have a local outdoors/mountain shop, take your boots and go try some on (make sure you clean your boots first though).
For example, any of these top end brands, will be high quality:

Me and the other half both have older versions of the Rab Latok with e-Vent fabric. No complaints and would recommend the newer version made with GORE-TEX.
