More than 61 million people hiked American trails in 2023. Guess how many got rocks, dirt, snow, mud, brambles or even ticks in their shoes? 

Meet Hikas™: Ultralight gaiters that keep you feeling dry, comfortable and secure … and, dare we say, lookin’ fab?

Designed for hikers who accessorize with intent, Hikas are ultralight, water-resistant cuffs that protect you from the hazards of the trail. 

Hikas keep out everything that can slow your roll:

🌾 brambles & prickers | 💦 splash | 🥀 thorns | ☄️ gravel, dirt, & dust | 🤎 mud | 🪨 rocks | 🏝️ sand | ☃️ snow | 🪲 even bugs / ticks!

While Hikas may seem like a simple idea, they’re the result of hard work, including extensive study of the human form and ankle flexion to dial in a perfect fit that offers superior function for nearly everyone.

Proudly Patent Pending.

Hikas have endured hundreds of miles of Logged Wear Tests in a wide range of environments.

They can outperform traditional gaiters while also being easier, more enjoyable, and cozier to use.

Performance design. Ultralight construction.

We source quality materials that tread lightly on our planet while working hard on the trail. We use natural and recycled fabrics and packaging, and work with certified factories.

Hikas are easy to wear. People tell us "they feel like nothing!" and "I'm sad when I take them off." (said by real humans)

They're even easier to care for!

Hikas are machine washable, quick dry, odor resistant, and one size.

Hikas perform optimally in sub zero temperatures up to 95 degrees F. They regulate your temperature, keeping you comfortable and not overheated. 

Hikas have been tested with trail runners, hiking boots, chelsea boots, sneakers, and even slippers.

How is it possible that Hikas give you more confidence on the trail?

People tell us that all the time. They love the secure feel around their ankles. They're just so cozy.

Your ankles will thank you!
