Snake Gaiters for Regular Use

Turtleskin SnakeArmor Snake Gaiters are constructed from a super-tight patented weave of high-strength ballistic fibers and polyester, made in the USA. Weighing less than 6 ounces each, these gaiters are one-third the weight of other snake gaiters, yet are tested to repel even large rattlesnakes. The reversible design offers a khaki or camo pattern.

Measurements for the Regular size are 20 inch diameter at the top of the calf, 17 inch diameter at the ankle, and 16 inches in length. The zipper, cinch strap, and grommets ensure a good fit over pants, to be worn with sturdy boots or shoes.

The Turtleskin system was tested and successfully repelled actual Diamondback Rattler and Cottonmouth snake strikes and bites. Additionally, the system stopped a simulated snake strike of paired 0.05" diameter needles weighing a total of 150 grams at 0.63 joules. It also stopped a simulated snake bite of a 0.042" diameter needle at 1.49 pounds with a penetration limit of 0.03". The relevant U.S. Patents 5,565,264 and 5,837,623, as well as other pending patents, apply.

Many snake gaiters on the market are not foldable, however the Turtleskin SnakeArmor brand folds to approximately 8 x 8 x 2 inches, making it convenient for backpacking or saving storage space.

Thousands of people in the United States are bitten by venomous snakes, mostly rattlesnakes, copperheads, and water moccasins, each year. Rattlesnake bites can inject large quantities of toxic venom, causing tissue destruction, internal bleeding, and intense pain, even if not fatal.
