Pure Grit. Pure Adventure.
Bikat means difficult. But with us, that’s not a warning—it’s a promise. Of stories worth telling. Of adventures worth chasing.
Bikat's HOW TO USE series provides information about how to choose and use trekking or climbing equipment like backpacks, boots, gaiters, microspikes and a lot more.
Gaiters are sleeves made of synthetic, abrasion-resistant material that protect your boots, ankles and lower legs. They prevent dirt, pebbles, mud, and snow from entering your boots. Some gaiters also have a durable water repellent (DWR) membrane for added waterproofing. Cold weather gaiters have an inner lining that provides additional insulation.
HOW TO CHOOSE
As important as knowing how to use gaiters, is choosing the right one. A well built gaiter will have the following components:
HOW TO USE
A gaiter is useful only if worn properly. If not, it will not prevent mud and snow from getting into your shoes, and you will waste valuable time readjusting it later.
Now that you know how to use Gaiters, you are all set to take on treks such as the Bhrigu Lake, Pin Parvati Pass, Digar La, etc.. where you will have a chance to use gaiters if there is an ample amount of snow on the trail. Explore our activity page to choose from a list of treks you wish to do.
