Description

Guard your hands with Gore-Tex XCR and Hestra's impeccable quality.

The steepest and deepest beckon, so slip on the Hestra Army Leather Gore-Tex XCR Ski Glove and send it. This big-gauntlet bomb shelter for your hands stays warm on the coldest days and dry in the heaviest snow. Hestra's ergonomic Eagle Grip follows the natural curve of your hands in supple Army Goat leather and burly Triton nylon, while fiberfill and a fleecy lining insulate without sacrificing an iota of crucial grip. Gore-Tex XCR denies soak-through while you dig your test pit, and breathes like a champ when your palms start sweating at the tip of Hypodermic Needle. Hestra's innovative Handcuffs attach these gloves by a lanyard to your forearms, so you can take them off and find your Dermatone without dropping them to the tram floor.

I was looking for something to keep my hands warm since my circulation isn't all that good. These gloves fit that bill perfectly! Great mobility and so warm and comfy! Even when the inside gets wet, they continue to perform.

They mostly kept me warm down to -14C in the Canadian Rockies. The cuff comes well over my ski jacket and prevents any snow from coming in and exposure to the wind.

After reading lots of reviews on several products and careful selection using the Hestra website, I chose this mitten for my wife and Hestra Army Leather Gore-Tex glove for myself. We really had high hopes for these as Hestra had been recommended by some other people we had met while skiing. I used temperature info from morning TV that listed the temps at the bases or in town next to the ski area, to form this opinion. Yes, I know temps up the hill will be less, but I had to use something for a guideline... We are NOT newbies to skiing and know what to expect up on the hill. Upon opening these products, both had a 'cheap' feel to them. The insulating layer of material is so thin (feels like about 1/8" or less) in these gloves I didn't see how they could possibly be as warm as the reviews. Undaunted, we used them anyway. I found that at temps above 22d F, they were OK, especially if the sun was shining. At temps from about 17d F to 22d F, they kept our fingers warm only if the sun was shining. Below 17d F my fingers would get so cold they were hurting and getting numb..... I even went to a store at Copper Mountain that carried Hestra and compared mine to what they had in case we may have gotten some bad issue. They seemed to be exactly the same as ours. I think Hestra needs to check their quality control. For what these cost, they should have worked much better. Thanks Backcountry. I have returned both of these and ordered some North Face mittens from you.

I've worn these gloves in Montana and Washington and they've kept my hands warm and dry. Some reviews noted that you should size down on these gloves... I went one size down and I probably didn't need to. Nevertheless, the gloves still fit but are very snug and would not be conducive to a liner, but so far I have not needed one anymore because the gloves are very warm.

Are these a complete Gore-Tex XCR membrane...

Are these a complete Gore-Tex XCR membrane (i.e. like a goretex glove liner, so under the leather palm as well as the rest of the glove)?

Just trying to work out if they are comparable to the ArcTeryx SV's...

After a 3 day trip on the slopes I can tell these will be great gloves for a long time to come. Nice leather, comes with a leather balm, Gore-tex, warm lining, and wrist leashes. Why other companies don't also have similar wrist leashes is totally beyond me - this is the best idea since the invention of gloves. One can take off their gloves on the lift with 100% confidence they won't lose them. Swedish company. I bought these assuming they know how to manage cold weather - I think that's a good assumption.

I've had these for over a year now, and they are great. I used a normal ruler to measure my hands, and the Hestra size chart suggested 11. They are a bit big, when I get another pair, I'll go down a size or two. The only wetness I get inside is when I don't lock down the cuff, and some snow gets in, but it's only wet a moment. I've used them from -5C days down to -30C, depending on wind and blowing snow. Not a problem yet. Would recommend.

Just put these gloves through the paces at Jackson Hole. Several days of my trip were spent during a cold snap with sub-zero temp down to the -20's. These gloves were amazing, generally keeping my hands nice and warm the entire trip. I did get cold fingers a couple of times, but I have a history having freezing digits and these gloves are the warmest I have ever owned. Fair warning, I haven't been in any conditions in which the gloves have gotten very wet on the outside, so I cannot comment on waterproofness. But I'm pretty confident that these gloves are solid on every front. On sizing: the fingers are a tad longer than other Hestra gloves. Whereas the 9's are generally perfect on my hand, I wear an 8 in this model.

I hope my review can say a few of you some frustration. Before I bought the Army Leather GTX XCR gloves, I read the customer reviews about the fingers being about 2 inches too long. A little skeptical, I conversed with the chat line and even downloaded the printable sizing chart. Both said I should order per the chart and that meant getting a 9. When I received the gloves, sure enough, they a full inches 2 too long. NOw, I am returning the gloves for a 7. Do not trust the printable size chart or what you have typically worn in other Hestra gloves. This particular model runs very long.

These have all the features of the heli, but with a gore tex insert... enough said. Removable liners are not an available on these, but that is not an issue in my mind. Go with the gore tex, you won't be wet or disappointed.

I have to say this is my favorite glove to wear...except for a few issues. First the good.
These gloves are incredibly dry. I have never had an issue with my hands getting wet. The gauntlet of the glove comes up far enough to make sure that no snow gets in. The leather is suple and smooth and makes working with small items a breeze. My favorite part are the cuffs. No way are you going to loose these gloves off the lift or in some powder. Only thing that would make these gloves perfect would be a removable liner. I have pretty hot hands. So unless it is pretty brutally cold I have to wear something else. I would love to swap the liner out for something thinner and rock these every day!! I bought these gloves my self but I do review and test products for gore sometimes through the Mountaintech program.

So I just got a pair of these, they fit...

So I just got a pair of these, they fit ok but the fingers are a bit long. I am using them for patrolling and need dexterity but I also need warmth. I'm wondering if these were designed to leave some space in the fingers to create an air pocket for warm air? I'd rather not return another pair of gloves to Backcountry, it would be the 3rd pair and I'm getting tired of hunting for a good glove.

I have always worn my hesteras tight without space in the end of the fingers. They are not supposed to have space at the end of the finger tips.

I just received my pair of these Hestra Gloves and I also noticed the fingers to be way too long, so I may have to try the next size down.

Hestra Balm darkens the gloves

Just the outside finger has been done with the balm. You can clearly see the color change.

So? these are bomber utility and storm gloves. If you're worried about how the leather looks then why even take them outside at all?

David, Hugens, I fail to see how my demonstrating what the balm does to the gloves means one would be worrying about taking them outside. If someone wants a stark white glove maybe they would like to know that will not be the case with the hestra gloves.

I am torn between the Heli and the XCR....

I am torn between the Heli and the XCR. Am I understanding correctly... The heli has a removeable liner and the XCR doesn't?
I see that the XCR has a couple extra pieces of leather and the XCR in the lining.
How water resistant IS the DWR Heli gloves compared to the XCR?

the XCR is far more water resistant

I was looking for a warm glove to replace my worn out Swanys. I have a pair of old Hestras, and I never thought they were warm, but well-built and sturdy, so I took a shot based on all of the good reviews. I ordered the same size as my old pair, and the fingers on the new gloves are quite a bit longer, which is making it much harder to hold my ski poles. If I could return them after one use, I would and get the next size smaller. That said, they are very warm and the quality is high.

What do i do if the sizing is off? I just...

What do i do if the sizing is off? I just got a pair of hestra Kaj and Sverre pro models in a size 9 and they fit perfect. The size 9 XCR gloves i just got are a full inch too long on my fingers. I see lots of comments about the sizing being on target so am I to assume I just got a weird sized pair?

Probably, I would hope on Live Chat and they should be able to help you out with ordering a new pair in the same size. If you're crunched for time, I would order a size smaller as well and then just return whatever doesn't work. Tell the live chat guys and they'll take care of you.

I just had the same problem. I had a pair of the Falts (guide gloves) in a sizee 8, they fit perfect but I got these in an 8 and the fingers are too long.

My hands ALWAYS get cold. My hands are always cold on and off the mountain. I actually stopped searching because I gave up hope on finding the perfect glove. Until ... A friend gave me these hestra gloves. He got won a pair of hestra gloves at a benefit & his new ones matched his steeze better.

These gloves have given me the warmth I need on the mountain. I would recommend them to anyone.

As for size, I usually wear a women's medium. For the men/unisex medium, I wear my north face etip liners and hestra gloves and it provides the snug fit that I prefer. Plus, by wearing the NF etip / liner, it provides the snug fit but also lets me use my iphone without exposing my hands.
