Desert gaiter installation
Raidlight is extending its desert racing expertise by now offering the installation of desert gaiters.
This operation involves sewing a Velcro strip onto the shoe so that the gaiters can then be attached. For optimum protection and durability, it is essential to have them sewn on, as glue cannot withstand the extreme conditions of the desert, neither the heat nor the abrasion caused by the sand. This service is carried out in our Saint-Pierre-de-Chartreuse (FRANCE) workshop by our seamstresses.
- If you decide to enter a race such as the Marathon des Sables® or Half Marathon des Sables®, the desert gaiters are essential, as they will prevent sand from getting into your shoes.
- Raidlight desert gaiters are compatible with all brands of footwear.
- The price of €59 includes the installation of gaiters for both shoes.
Step 1 - Trying on shoes and gaiters
Whether you buy on the Raidlight site your pair of shoes and the gaiters or only the gaiters, we ask you to try the products before sending them to us for installation. Fitting desert gaiters is an irreversible procedure, so it's important to be sure of the shoes and gaiters that will accompany you into the desert.
Step 2 - Send us the clean shoes and gaiters, please remove the laces
Shipment of gaiters and shoes is at your expense and via the carrier of your choice. Please send your parcel to this address: Raidlight - Service installation des guêtres, 115 route de Perquelin 38380 Saint-Pierre-de-Chartreuse, France.
Until the parcel has not arrived at our premises, We accept no responsibility for any problems encountered during delivery.
Please include the form with your contact details and the information you need to install the gaiters and return your parcel.

Step 3 - Receive your parcel
Once we have received your parcel, we will check that the shoes are in order and clean. We reserve the right to refuse to install the gaiters if the shoes do not comply with the terms and conditions (for more information, please refer to the terms and conditions or FAQ).
Step 4 - Installation of the gaiters
Our workshop will sew the Velcro strip onto your shoes..
From the date of receipt of the parcel to the date of return, please allow a fortnight.
Step 5 - Return of your shoes and gaiters
We will return your shoes and gaiters to you by Colissimo. You are responsible for the return postage costs, which will be invoiced to you on an actual basis. All returns will be insured up to the value of the parcel.
Step 6 - Reception of your fitted gaiters
You are now ready to visit the desert
- Each gaiter installation is irriversable, no returns or refunds will be possible.
- For technical reasons, we refuse to pay for the fitting of gaiters on shoes with quick lacing (quicklace, speedlace...).
- Raidlight reserves the right to refuse to carry out an installation if the shoes do not seem suitable to us. (shoes with quick lacing or in poor condition) or if they are not clean. If one of these cases arises, we will return your parcel to you and deduct the return costs from the amount of the installation refund.
