Do snake gaiters work?
I’m often asked, “Do Snake Chaps and Snake Gaiters really work?”. Without hesitation, I answer “Yes – yes, they do”. Most snakes can strike as far as 1/3 to 1/2 of the length of their body, which generally lands most snake bites between the ankle and the knee or on the foot.
Should I wear snake gaiters?
You should wear gaiters whenever you visit areas where snakes live. Many southern and western states, especially Texas, Arizona, Nevada, California, and more, are home to a wide variety of poisonous snakes such as rattlers.
Do snake socks work?
The longer socks certainly protect more of you body from snakebites. Research shows that 80% of snake bites occur between the ankle and mid-calf. Crew-length socks help protect from most of those unexpected strikes. There is no difference in the protective material used in the crew-length and knee-high socks.
