Description

Remlite’s Hardscrabble Gaiter Pro by SKRE delivers waterproof protection, breathability, and durability; redesigned gaiters built for New Zealand’s toughest hunts.

The Hardscrabble Gaiter Pro by SKRE represents the next generation of hunting gaiters, engineered to deliver superior performance across New Zealand’s most demanding backcountry conditions. Completely redesigned, these gaiters provide hunters with the perfect balance of waterproofing, breathability, and ergonomic fit, ensuring reliable protection without excess bulk.

Constructed with a three-layer waterproof membrane, they create a complete barrier against moisture. Rain, snow, and stream crossings are no longer threats, as the gaiters prevent water from reaching boots and trousers. Despite their robust waterproofing, they remain highly breathable, preventing sweat build-up during long ascents and active hunts. With a face fabric blend of 95% polyester and 5% spandex, they offer abrasion resistance alongside natural flexibility, moving with the hunter’s stride rather than restricting it.

At just the right weight for all-day use, the Hardscrabble Gaiter Pro by SKRE embodies the Remlite ethos: gear that is ultralight, high-performing, and tested in real backcountry environments. Ergonomic construction enhances comfort and reduces the bulk commonly associated with traditional gaiters, making them easier to wear across long hunts.

Every detail has been designed with hunters in mind. A hook-and-loop front closure allows for quick adjustments, while abrasion-resistant panels protect against rugged bush, scree, and sharp rock. The Teflon Shield+ DWR finish adds an additional layer of defence, ensuring that water and mud roll off the fabric surface. This durability ensures that the gaiters withstand the unique terrain challenges of New Zealand, from muddy North Island trails to snow-covered alpine valleys.

The Hardscrabble Gaiter Pro by SKRE is more than an accessory; it is a vital layer of defence. By keeping lower legs and boots dry, hunters maintain warmth, comfort, and focus. Whether trudging through Fiordland swamps, navigating the Tararua ranges in winter, or crossing braided Canterbury rivers, these gaiters adapt to the challenge.

At Remlite, we prioritise products that offer hunters reliable protection and efficiency. The Hardscrabble Gaiter Pro by SKRE delivers this in full, making it an essential part of a serious hunter’s kit.
