Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

Rab’s most technical protective gaiter using GORE-TEX PRO (Most Breathable) and a tough nylon reinforcement for extreme mountain conditions. The Muztag GTX is their ultimate gaiter for use with modern alpine boots on technical ascents.

Rab says

Go higher and steeper with the Women’s Muztag GTX Gaiter. With GORE-TEX® Pro construction, a low-bulk fit and an advanced feature set, it is built for elite alpinists who need to stay dry, focused and in control.

The Women’s Muztag GTX Gaiter is built from 40D GORE-TEX® Pro Most Breathable – a multi-layer, air-permeable membrane, which shifts sweat fast, helping minimise the accumulation of moisture and preserve dryness, however energetic the ascent. The use of 300D nylon ankle reinforcements helps improve protection against the physical impact of mud, vegetation, rock edges and crampon spikes, while also preserving the condition and performance of your boots and pant leg. Designed specifically to fit a technical modern alpine boot, the ascent-ready Women’s Muztag GTX Gaiter weighs just 190g.

With minimised seam construction, easy-access hook-and-loop front closure and a TPU underfoot strap with internal adjustment, the Women’s Muztag GTX Gaiter is tailor-made for arduous multi-day mountain expeditions.

Our Verdict

Rab’s Womens Muztag Gore-Tex Gaiters are a top of the range, high performance piece of kit that are designed to take on technical terrain in the harshest conditions. The use of Gore Pro is a clear indication of this with durability, high levels of waterproofing and breathability guaranteed. The 40D fabric provides an excellent balance of weight and performance while the 300D reinforcements go higher up the ankle than normal to provide extra protection from scuffs with big boots and crampons.

A full set of features including a tough Velcro closure that’s made more secure with a popper at the top while an elasticated drawcord around the top with rubber grips and a durable hook for the laces ensure they stay in place once you’ve put them on. The thick, durable strap that runs under the boot is great quality and has certainly worn well with regular use under stiff, technical boots on varied terrain.
