Low-bulk protection for trail shoes
Montbell says
Offers excellent breathability for activities such as speed hikes and running. Articulated design minimizes bulging when installed. Water-repellent finish helps shed water and dirt in wet environments.

Our Verdict
At 52g (Medium), the Montbell Stretch Short Gaiters are a light, close-fitting option for keeping grit, stones and light mud out of trail shoes. The stretch nylon fabric is the main strength, giving a neat fit around the ankle and shoe without the bulk of taller gaiters. That makes them well-suited to fast walking, running and backpacking in low-cut or mid-cut footwear.
They are not waterproof gaiters, and the short height means they will not protect your lower legs in boggy or very wet ground.
