It got hot super early this year and the rattle worms are already coming out. I am looking for some gaiters to wear when out training that will hopefully stop a snake bit. I'm not sure I want to trust Amazon for this kind of purchase. Otte is having a sale right now and I can get these, but I am not sure if 1000D cordura is enough to stop a snake bite. Any other options. They don't need to be camo, but a solid earth tone would be appreciated.

I have worn Gaiters since I was kid

But if I was to buy any nowadays, I think I would try the Chaps.

Yea I'm pretty sure that 1000d Cordura won't stop a snake bite.  

Get actual snake proof stuff.

I have used gaiters, chaps, and snake boots.

Snake boots all the way unless you’re going through briars a lot. Then chaps. I hated gaiters.

I've only seen one diamondback so far. Usually about 5, this time of year

1000D Cordura won't work for this.

Buy some snake boots instead for general use. otherwise Snake Chaps!
