Tough as Nails

TUO’s new Boot Gaiters to become the defacto choice for western hikers and big game hunters and off-the-grid whitetail zealots.

MUSKEGON, Mich. (February 4, 2025) – The saying “tough-as-nails” likely had its origins in England during the mid-1800’s – at least that’s what an AI search said. Today, it describes people or products that are resilient and unlikely to be defeated. In terms of TUO’s new Boot Gaiters, tough-as-nails are what field testers and early users have been saying.

There are conditions where even the burliest brush or field pant are no match. Think about western big game hunters who crawl jagged rock formations for the perfect glassing position. Or undaunted whitetail hunters who push through any thicket to hang their saddle on a desired tree. That’s TUO Boot Gaiter country.

“In a word, they’re ‘kickass’,” said TUO Marketing Director, Steve Allie. “If there’s such thing as over-testing, we did it with the TUO Boot Gaiters.”

The virtually impenetrable and durable Boot Gaiters are also lightweight and packable, as well as waterproofed with the company’s proprietary H-TUO™ waterproof membrane. A durable 2-way stretch fabric defends against menaces like firethorn and crucifixion thorn, while highly abrasion-resistant Bemis™ overlays protect the high-friction inner cuff areas. Bemis fabrics set the bar for abrasion-resistance in hunting apparel, used by only the best in brands.

TUO Boot Gaiters also fit like your favorite jeans. Rugged calf buckle adjusters afford a customized fit, while a front hook and loop closure and lace strap collaborate to keep your gaiters locked in place. On the inside, specialized grip tape keeps them securely in place.

“Where them once and you’ll be sold,” said Allie. “Tough-as-nails isn’t an exaggeration.”
