Gaiters, says right there. Green part goes around your leg/top of your boot, the black part fastens under the boot heel.

I suspect the "fab to be drab" part refers to fashion trends like GORPcore and normcore, where "boring" or outdoorsy clothing is worn as a fashion statement.

"Drab" because that color is olive drab.
