They're great looking and very functional. They keep dirt and debris out of your boots and can give warmth and support to your lower legs. They are very durable and well made. It takes a bit of time to get the hang of wrapping them, and it's a time consuming process, but they have situations where they are very useful. Read more
Everything I hoped for and more. It came very well packaged, and presented nicely. I took a gamble with the 90 inch, and they were the correct choice (I’m 5’6.) The color is true to the pictures, and while they do have a bit of a smell, I can look past it for the quality. I can already tell these are going to last for a while. Definitely going to shop with this seller in the future. Read more
These replica putties probably wouldn't satisfy a purist re-enactor but I like them a lot. I'm not a re-enactor. I use them for the purpose for which they were originally intended, keeping crap out of my boots and out of my trousers. They wrap better than I had anticipated. I had watched several Youtube videos about "real" putties and knock off putties. The knock offs generally don't wrap well, and don't have the regular looking spacing and even-ness that "real" ones do. This product I can wrap well, without weird lumps or uneven-ness. I haven't had to use the trick I saw on Youtube about twisting the roll over to make the wrap lie flat. I use them while doing yard work and they are superb at keeping all the detritus out of my boots and trousers. I was surprised that leaves and twigs and other small things and dirt don't stick to the material. I had anticipated that the material would act like velcro and that I would be spending time getting the stuff off the putties once done with the yard work. I was surprised that this hasn't been so. So far, almost nothing has stuck to them. The one drawback is that of course, they hold in the heat. I live in New Mexico. I try to do the yard work in the early mornings before it becomes blazing saddles. But I'd rather have warm legs than all the bits of twigs and leaves and pine needles in my boots, on my socks and up my trouser legs. Now that I've been using them a bit, I can see why the soldiers of that period liked them. They provide some leg compression and support. They are comfortable. When wrapping, if you draw up the pant legs, then the pants are more comfortable around the thighs and pelvis, and freedom of movement is provided. I just got them this year (2021). Along with the yard work for which I'm currently using them, I'm thinking I'll wear them in late autumn when hiking out in our forests. I might even wear them under my waterproof gaiters while snowshoeing. Read more
They are well made, keeps things out, and honestly perfect for reenactment or hiking. I do highly suggest them! Read more
Works well for hiking, I specifically use these wraps for tick protection. They look pretty nice for a day to day use aswell! Read more
I ordered navy, they sent me the wrong color. They also have a horrible smell, and the string tie is short. It also sheds a lot. Is it the worst product in the world no. But is there a lot to be desired absolutely. Read more
It's a good product so far. Learning to wrap the legs well takes practice. I like this item so far for its thickness and helping keep my shin from being banged so often. Guaranteed to bring with while camping to test some more. Read more
Nice puttees, haven't used them but they work very well for a display piece. No fading, mothing or any wear spots; smells like surplus store. Read more
