question Gaiters Snow MkII

[airportable]

Just back from local car boot with a bag of 'goodies'

Mint pair dress shoes 1989 (my size) other bits. But my question is about the pair of gaiters.

Think they may be late 80's or 90's NSN 8415-99-977-9502, any one know for sure?

What I really want is a 70's-80's pair, any one know what the NSN I would need to keep a eye out for or how they differ?

Thanks. Andy.

You proably have the Goretex ones. I have a pair and used them last snow. brilliant bits of kit, much lighter and warmer than wellies!

Hi,

 

The 70s / 80s snow gaiters canvas and leather mk1 are made of thick Khaki Canvas with no zip or fastening that slip over the foot and have a tie string on the top with grey leather straps to go under the sole of the ski march boot, very hard to come by, I have a pair not sure what markings they have though there packed away at the moment I'll have a look when I get time.

Thanks again for the info. Dan, the info. is great. I know what I'm now looking for, a pic. when poss. would be fantastic. A pair is needed to be correct at a cold, wet event of Falklands era.

Still all a bit lost with these computer thingies!! Goggled the NSN for these gaiters, pressed print, and hey presto got 28 pages of items and no's all to do with climbing, boots, ski's etc.etc.:shocked:
