BushWear ThornGuard Gaiters & Leggings

Leg protection for the ground nobody volunteers for — beating through bramble, pushing gorse, walking blackthorn hedges. ThornGuard Pro goes over your normal trousers and takes the damage instead of them.

Gaiters or leggings? The ThornGuard Pro Gaiters cover boot top to knee and are the everyday choice: quick on and off, and they deal with the wet and the worst of the thorn on a normal walked-up or stalking day. The ThornGuard Pro Leggings carry the protection up the full leg, which is what you want if you are beating or working dogs in cover where you are pushing through rather than walking round.

Fit them over the boot properly. The commonest mistake is leaving the instep strap slack, so the gaiter rides up and the boot top fills with seed and thorn anyway. Tension the strap under the sole and check it after the first field.
