Waterproof lower limb device, systems, and methods

Abstract

Example embodiments herein relate to a gaiter device configured with a failsafe design that improves the user experience, provides sanitation and increased durability and longevity of the gaiter. Example embodiments include gaiter configurations designed to be worn inside the shoe, which decreases degradation of the gaiter, and further provides enhanced useability, and enhanced durability. The gaiter may be configured with an elastic stirrup to support the gaiter in a shoe, while providing ease of use, sanitation, and flexibility for the user. The gaiter may include a durable lightweight outer film surface resistant to moisture. The gaiter device may be configured as a smart gaiter device, where the elastic stirrup is embedded with sensors and transmitters enabling biometric monitoring and communication of biometrics with smart computing devices.
