Description

A pristine pair of specialized footwear accessories for the WWII collector. These are original US Army Ski Gaiters, issued primarily to the 10th Mountain Division and other specialized ski troops.

Design: Distinct from standard infantry leggings, these are shorter and designed specifically to seal the top of ski boots against snow ingress. They feature hook-and-eye lacing and an adjustable leather instep strap.
Markings: The interior stamp is crisp and legible, reading "M" (Medium), "U.S.", and "HOOD RUBBER CO.".
Condition: Unissued / New Old Stock. The canvas retains its original color and stiffness. The leather straps are supple and show no signs of dry rot or cracking.
