BD Black Diamond Distance Gaiters snow gaiters

The Distance Gaiter from Black Diamond is a lightweight softshell gaiter designed to deliver high performance in all four seasons, keeping debris, mud, snow, and dirt out of footwear during trail running or alpine adventures. Thanks to the innovative Heel Hook™ design, this gaiter securely attaches to the back of the shoe, ensuring an aerodynamic and stable fit that does not ride up during movement, ideal for those seeking protection without bulk. Made from abrasion-resistant and weatherproof softshell material, the Distance Gaiter is extremely compressible and easy to stow in a backpack when not needed. The weather-resistant hook-and-loop closure is reinforced with snap buttons at both the top and bottom, ensuring a flawless seal even in the toughest conditions. Optimized for use with trail running shoes and perfectly compatible with BD Distance Traction microspikes, it includes an optional Dynex cord to pass under the foot for added security on technical terrain. Weighing between 43 and 62 grams depending on size, this mid-profile gaiter is the ultimate accessory for high-altitude runners who need a reliable barrier against the elements year-round.
