Protect yourself against snake bite while in the desert or woods! THOUSANDS of people are bitten by venomous snakes (mostly rattlesnakes, copperheads and water moccasins) in the United States each year. Rattlesnakes possess a set of fangs with which they can inject large quantities of toxic venom. The venom travels through the bloodstream, destroying tissue and causing swelling, internal bleeding, and intense pain. Even non-fatal bites can cause severe pain and long-lasting tissue damage. Don't take a chance! Protect your lower legs whenever you're in snake country! TurtleSkin SnakeArmor Snake Gaiters are constructed from a super-tight patented weave of high-strength ballistic fibers and polyester. Most snake gaiters are heavy, stiff, and bulky. Weighing less than 6 ounces each, these gaiters are one-third the weight of other snake gaiters, yet are tested to repel even large rattlesnakes. Reversible design (khaki / sage). Made in USA. Regular size: 20 inches Top of Calf, 17 inches Ankle, 16 inches Length. Also available in Husky size (separate Amazon listing) which is: 23 inches Top of Calf, 20 inches Ankle, 16 inches Length.
