PPU DCF Gaiters | 1.6 oz Dyneema® – Ultralight weather shield for fast movement
Built for runners, fast-packers, and minimalist hikers, the PPU DCF Gaiters keep grit, splash, and spindrift out while adding almost no weight to your kit. Made from premium 1.6 oz Dyneema® Composite Fabric (DCF), they’re tough, highly water-resistant, and hold their shape in rough conditions—perfect for all-season mileage on trail or travel.
At an ultralight ~40-48 g per pair, these gaiters disappear on your legs yet punch far above their weight in protection. The clean, low-bulk pattern packs tiny, sheds wind and water, and resists abrasion in high-contact zones. When moving fast is the mission, these are the don’t-think-about-them gaiters you reach for.

About Dyneema® Composite Fabric (DCF)
DCF—also known as Cuben Fiber—is a high-performance non-woven laminate built from Dyneema® fibers, among the strongest fibers in the world. At ~15× the strength of steel by weight, it delivers exceptional tear resistance with minimal mass. DCF is naturally waterproof, dimensionally stable, and highly resistant to UV and stretch, making it a go-to for ultralight packs, shelters, and expedition gear.
The PPU DCF Gaiters leverage this material to maximize durability and weather protection with the least possible weight—no coatings, no gimmicks, just raw performance.
