There are about 3000 snake bites reported in Australia each year, with the feet and ankles among the most common target. The Kayahan Snake X Gaiter has been engineered to reduce the risk of snake bites, whether you're hunting, hiking, or working on the land. These snake-resistant gaiters are constructed with ultra-tough 600d poly spun dual bonded canvas.
The fabric has been tested on various Australian snake species, including the Jungle Carpet Python, Olive Python, Coastal Carpet Python, Tiger Snake, Death Adder, and two Mulga snake species. We tested how the gaiters stood up to both snake bite force and striking and found 0% fang penetration or 100% resistance. While the Kayahan Snake X Gaiter will provide a layer of protection for your lower legs and we're confident in our testing, we cannot claim that the gaiters are "snake proof" nor guarantee that the wearer won't get bitten. We always advise caution outdoors, especially in areas known for snakes. These gaiters have been tested and approved by professional Australian snake handler Sean McCarthy.
The Kayahan Snake X Gaiter is also a high-performance, heavy-duty gaiter for a range of outdoor activities, whether you expect to encounter snakes or not.
