Learn how to correctly install C37.1 neoprene leg wraps on Gitzo 0 and 1 series tripods for protection and cold-weather insulation.

Quick answer

To fit neoprene leg wraps on Gitzo 0 and 1 series tripods, wrap each leg section snugly with the Velcro seam facing inward and secure tightly, avoiding cross supports.

Why the C37.1 wraps fit Gitzo 0 and 1 series specifically

The C37.1 wraps are cut for the narrower leg diameters of Gitzo 0 and 1 series tripods. These models lack cross supports, so the wraps can slide on without obstruction. If your tripod has cross braces, these wraps won't work properly.

Choosing the right color and reversible side

Each wrap is reversible: one side is Realtree Max (olive) and the other is plain black. Decide which side faces outward before you start wrapping. The Velcro seam can be placed on the inside or outside, but placing it inward reduces snag risk in the field.

Step-by-step installation

Prepare the leg: Clean and dry the tripod leg section. Remove any dirt or moisture that could prevent the neoprene from gripping. A clean surface prevents slipping and extends wrap life.
Position the wrap: Hold the wrap with the Velcro seam facing inward (toward the leg). Align the wrap so it covers the top main section of the leg, not near any joints or locks. Avoid placing wraps over leg locks or hinges—they may interfere with folding.
Wrap snugly: Wrap the neoprene around the leg with even tension. Do not stretch the material excessively—neoprene should fit snug but not deform. Secure the Velcro closure firmly. Overstretching can thin the neoprene and reduce insulation.
Check for gaps and twist: Rotate the wrap to ensure the seam lies flat and there are no gaps where the leg is exposed. The wrap should not twist or bunch when you extend the tripod. A twisted wrap can loosen during use; rewrap if needed.
Repeat for all three legs: Install wraps on each leg at the same height for balanced protection. Verify that the wraps do not interfere with the tripod's folding or carrying. Uneven heights may cause the tripod to sit unevenly when folded.
