warreplica British WW1 Long Puttees/British Wool Leggings Wraps / WW1 British Leg Wraps Gear- Historical Reproduction Military Gaiters for Authentic World War I Uniform Costume or Collectors Display

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.

Nice wraps for your ankles. I use these for my job when I need to go outside. I wear shorts inside and don't feel like throwing a suit on so I wrap my legs with these and they work. I also have a pair for my Jedi costume so I recommend since I've bought then a couple times now.

These are very nice and worked out great for my impression.

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.

I use them for hiking and I like them! What can I say.

These were exactly what son wanted for reenactments but they smelled almost unbearably musty

I bought these four years ago when I first started to put together my reenactment kit and have had no reason to replace them! I came back to buy a second pair now just to have as a backup or for a second kit. These are good quality and durable and make a nice solid wrap around your legs!
