Sock and gaiter knitted integrally in a single garment. The sock comprises a legging (1) and a foot of the sock (3). Coupled to the sock, there is a gaiter (2) along the sock circular section, between said legging (1) and said foot (3).

Through the inherent elasticity of the sock (1, 3) and of the gaiter (2), namely in its circular section union, one can get an adaptable piece and able to keep in proper position to prevent the entry of foreign bodies or liquids, namely water, earth or sand, to the inside of the shoe, even under conditions of high effort and movement by the user. One can include adjusting means (4).

This type of elastic adjustment, which prevents movements better than existing protections by being coupled to the legging (1) of the sock, allows superior sealing and maintains the comfort and safety of its user.

A tick detecting device for detecting ticks or other insects on the device which includes a signal generator for generating a detection waveform or DC voltage sufficient to traverse ticks; at least one pair of conductive traces driven by said signal generator, adapted to be in a path of ticks traversing the device; a detector for detecting the generated signal from said signal generator and any deviations caused by a tick in contact with said pair of conductive traces; a filter for discriminating between tick and no tick signals received from at least one of said pair of conductive traces; and a device for notifying a user of the detection of presence of a tick.
