Black Diamond

Distance Gaiters

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I use these whenever I’m running muddy trails or hitting early-season alpine terrain, and they’ve become a must-have. The Heel Hook design is super secure without feeling bulky, and I love that I can add the Dynex underfoot cord when I’m in rougher conditions. They keep debris out, stay put, and pack down small—exactly what I want from a trail gaiter."

We count on the Black Diamond Distance Gaiters when our trail days demand lightweight protection that won’t slow us down. Built from a durable soft-shell fabric, they deliver a snug, comfortable fit that keeps out dirt, mud, snow, and loose debris as we move from forest paths to rocky alpine approaches. The design stays streamlined on the run, resisting ride-up so we can stay focused on the terrain ahead.

With Black Diamond’s innovative Heel Hook™ attachment at the back and an optional underfoot Dynex cord, these gaiters adapt to varying conditions and shoe styles. A secure hook-and-loop front closure, reinforced with snaps at the top and bottom, ensures reliable coverage through all four seasons. Whether we’re winter trail running or pushing toward early-season summits, the Distance Gaiters keep our strides steady and protected.
