Places like these have allowed for meaningful experiences for so many, including our own Associates like Michael. Across the country, from the Appalachian Trail Conservancy to The Trek: Pacific Crest Trail and everywhere in between, 45 million acres of public lands are at stake.

October is here. And that means 5 days left to speak up for the Roadless Rule.

For over 25 years, the Roadless Rule has protected 8,000 climbing routes, 750 miles of white water, and 25,000 miles of trails, including those surrounding Indian Creek in Utah. For climbers like Kahtoola Associate Nicholas Sutherland, the experiences found in places like these are priceless.

As outdoor enthusiasts, let’s protect the wild places that bring us joy and allow us to connect with nature. Submit a comment here 👉 Kahtoola.com/speak-up

Maximum coverage for the toughest conditions. Meet the fully redesigned NAVAgaiter® GTX.

Our most protective waterproof gaiter was already built for demanding days, so we listened to user feedback to make it even better. Starting with coverage, we’ve added extra length to cover up to the knee, and we’ve simplified fit based on calf size. Our new DuraLink® instep strap is easier to adjust, even with gloves on, and the improved routing means a tighter seal around your footwear and less chances of snow, mud or grit pushing in from below.

At 6 oz per pair, it’s one of the lightest full-height gaiters out there, yet doesn’t skimp on durability. We use an ultra-tough 1000D ballistic nylon lower for reinforced protection, while the GORE-TEX upper adds breathability.

Pair it with waterproof boots, and you’re ready for deep snow, wet brush, loose rock, mud and rough terrain where extra coverage and durability matter.

Since Kahtoola was founded in 1999, we’ve focused on our purpose beyond creating products. But what does that mean exactly?

It shows up in two ways: protecting public lands and supporting communities. Through the Kahtoola Philanthropy Program (KPP), we’ve dedicated 1% of revenue to organizations that are making a difference for Indigenous communities, promoting environmental responsibility, and helping to enhance meaningful connections to the outdoors.

Tolani Lake Enterprise is an example of one of those organizations — farm manager Rymond Curley and team work with Native communities in northern Arizona to strengthen food and water security, share agricultural techniques, and pass knowledge to the next generation.

We believe success is better when shared, and it starts with the people and places in our backyard on the Colorado Plateau. This is our Product + Purpose mindset 🌱 ❤️

Full-height coverage for a little bit of everything. Meet the all-new TERRAgaiter™.

Our most versatile waterproof gaiter was created for the days when you want full coverage without the bulk of traditional gaiters. It's ultralight, made with tough ripstop nylon and also features our Aegis rock guard for added durability at critical stitching points. For trips with unpredictable or changing trail conditions, this is our go-to gaiter to keep the elements out.

The Roadless Rule comment period has been extended to October 6. Take action at the link below.

For Kahtoola associate Nicholas, the roadless areas of the Eastern Sierra are a reminder of what wild landscapes make possible:

“I quest out into a sea of granite, dancing across a dime-edged slab 1,000 feet above the valley floor. Towering fins of stone create a syncopated skyline above lush, stream-filled valleys. A true climber's paradise. The eastern Sierra Nevada offers lifetimes of world-class climbing, and every trip reminds me how unique and valuable these wilderness areas are."

The Forest Service is proposing to rescind the Roadless Rule, which could result in 45 million acres of land losing protection from development and extraction. We can make a difference. Make your voice heard by October 6 and submit a public comment: kahtoola.com/speak-up

Fast, light and ready for wet conditions. Meet the fully redesigned LEVAgaiter® GTX.

Our most minimal waterproof gaiter is now better than ever. A new dual-material construction uses a GORE-TEX upper for breathability and ripstop nylon lower plus our Aegis rock guard for durability where it matters. Pair it with waterproof trail running or hiking shoes, and you're ready to take on the messiest trail conditions without missing a beat.

There’s less than two weeks to speak up for the Roadless Rule.

Ten years ago, our teammate Michael thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail at age 21. When he recently looked at the areas affected by the proposed rescission of the Roadless Rule, he found himself tracing that journey again.

“When I looked at the map highlighting the roadless areas that could lose national protections, I couldn’t believe how many appeared along the Appalachian Trail. As I traced the route, they brought me back to memories from my 2016 thru-hike.

Growing up on the East Coast, access to wilderness without roads gave me a rare sense of serenity, peace and self-reflection. That hike launched a lifelong passion for long-distance hiking. These places hold some of the most meaningful memories of my life and helped shape who I am today.

I submitted a public comment in favor of keeping existing protections because I want these places to remain living and wild, and I want future generations to have the chance to form their own memories there.”

The Roadless Rule currently applies to nearly 45 million acres of National Forest System lands. USDA has proposed rescinding it, which would remove the rule’s national restrictions on road construction, road reconstruction and timber harvesting.

Our waterproof gaiters just got even better. Just in time for fall, we’re introducing three new gaiters in the lineup: the all-new TERRAgaiter™, and the fully redesigned LEVAgaiter® GTX and NAVAgaiter® GTX.

We listened closely to real-world feedback and made changes to address common issues customers faced. The result is improved fit, enhanced durability and easier adjustment, making the gaiters more intuitive to use and providing more defense against mud, snow, and debris.
