This is a great in-between glove...by that I mean its great for more mild conditions. When its real cold out you probably need something warmer and in the spring you will want something even lighter but I find myself riding in these gloves more often than you think. They fit well, are real comfortable and they're not bulky at all.

I love these gloves. The goal of every manufacturer of cold weather glove is to maximize both dexterity *and* warmth, which is a challenge because warmth requires insulation, which adds bulk and reduces dexterity. Every serius cold-whether glove is a compromise between these two objectives. The Hestra Fall line has succeeded in achieving both excellent dexterity and warmth better than any glove I've ever encountered.

Of course there are warmer gloves - Hestra's military models or the Black Diamond Mad Max, for example; and there are gloves that provide more freedom of movement - Marmot's Exum Work gloves or Black Diamond's Transition gloves come to mind. But I've never seen such impressive dexterity *and* warmth in the same glove.

The name, "Fall Line," does not mean that these are designed for Spring or Fall skiing. These are intended for heavy duty, take-no-prisoners, January-February skiing, and other outdoor activities. They are made of extremely soft, supple and flexible leather. Your hand feels like they are in a custom, warm cozy home. The insulation is remarkably light for the amount of warmth provided. When the velcro wrist seals are in place, no snow is coming in. The gloves are also completely waterproof.

You can get an idea of the quality of construction by blowing-up each of the pictures.

The only caveat I'll offer is I found them to fit small. I don't know if this is true of Hestra, in general, but it is definitely true of the Fall Line. I normally wear Large and my wife wears Woman's small. Based on other reviews, I ordered a size up, 10, which according to the sizing table is XL. The gloves fit me perfectly. My wife normally wears a woman's small, which the chart shows as a 6. The 6 is too small.

I think these would be well worth the full retail price, and are probably one of the best deals on Dept of Goods at their present price.

IMO, you can't go wrong with this glove.

This is my secondary gloves for skiing, mainly for spring/warmer days. This is an excellent glove by any means, but for colder days I use another set of Hestra gloves. I would highly recommend these, Hestra makes a product that lasts a long, long time.

I've wore these glove's a couple of times including a rainy/wet day in Tahoe and 15 degre day and they ket my hands warm and dry in both conditions. Highly suggest using the Hestra leather balm, be aware that this will darken the color of the bronco/natural gloves. I kinda think they look a little better though. And yes they are very comfortable.

I fully expect to still be wearing these gloves in 30 + years -- making the cost, on an annualized basis, just $1.67/year. Much less than a pack of Lucky Strikes. With a stylish two-tone leather construction, I also expect them to take on a nice patina over time; a functional reminder of all the chutes, hucks, and travels I've experienced over time. Seriously, these gloves rock! They breath well and retain natural body heat. What more can you ask from a glove? The Fall Line's short under-the-sleeve elastic cuff and minimalist design will sell you on the idea that good handwear doesn't need to be bulky and should never involve battery packs. I'm convinced that Hestra has fully mastered the art of glove making during the company's 70 year history. In my granddaddy's words, those are some "handsome" work gloves. WTF?

This is a great glove for warmer days in the ski area. This glove has served me poorly in the backcountry. This glove is not particularly warm and not very waterproof. Your hands will get wet if your working in snow. Love the neoprene cuff and the look of this glove. I also love how durable the exterior has been. This glove is great if you want to stick to lift accessed terrain, but dont count on the waterproofing. Ps. Like other reviewers said, size up

Nice tight fit, quality workmanship. These are called the "Dexterity" glove in Europe and, after wearing them, I see why. Never have to take off the gloves when adjusting a buckle or setting up the camera for a shot. This is my second pair. Cheers.

These gloves are the greastet thing that has ever happened to hands since the invention of fingers! Soft, supple, sexcellent...the list goes on forever. Great fit, warmer than the rear end of a cow. So stylish chairs will de-rail so passengers can get a better look. Buy them. Buy them now!

When I first got these gloves, I was a little shocked by how light they felt. The first time I pulled them on they felt tight and almost uncomfortable. Yet five minutes later (after waterproofing them with some Nikwax with them on my hands), I didn't want to take them off! My experience with these gloves only got better from there. There is very low profile foam on the back of these gloves that serves as insulation, as well as the obviously much thicker pads over the knuckles. These gloves are thin-it is important to note that- but they are warmer than I thought possible. On a 0 degree (F) day skiing in NY, my hands not once got cold, even while my girlfriend complained about her hands in her monstrous down mittens. Equally important is the waterproofing of these gloves. Treated right these will keep you warm even if you take a dive or two. Personally I think that the neoprene cuff on these is excellent and quite comfortable, with the one exception that a slightly larger velcro patch on the cuff might make it more secure. The fit and dexterity is excellent. The finger tips (wolfpaw construction) are accurate, even allowing me to text on my phone on the lift. Only the thumb bothers me slightly; it lacks the more structured and padded feel of the fingers. I would like to see the back of the thumb slightly more reinforced. Finally, while some people might not like the look of the purple leather on the palm, in person it looks far more subtle.

i just received the gloves & agree with other reviewers ... they run small, so size up.

other than that, they look like great gloves. taking them out for a spin this weekend

I fly an open cockpit ultralight trike and the gloves are everything I wanted. I ordered a pair for myself and liked them so much I bought a pair for my friend who is also a flyer. I did the measurement as instructed and got 7.5 inches. I sized up to a 9 but they were still too small. Size 10 fit perfect and I got size 11 for my friend and that worked out well. If the glove is just a little tight the lining will pack down and the leather will stretch. So wear them a couple of hours before you decide to send them back for a larger pair. I'm telling you folks I can work the buttons on my cell phone and my radios easily. Best gloves I've ever owned. Be careful when you put the Hestra cream on the gloves. The material on the back to protect the knuckles will bleed into the red.

I've been using these for over a year, rock solid gloves & much warmer than a normal spring glove. I ended up using these in really cold, under 10 degree weather just because they're so much more dextrous than my heavy duty winter gloves. Held up fine, plenty warm, great for the skin up as well as the way down. These are also pretty waterproof if you treat the leather...if not they'll soak water up like a sponge.

these gloves are the dope'st gloves you will ever have they are warm yet breathable and they fit nicely under your jacket cuff super lightweight and durable and you never have to take them off to unzip a pocket or anything its a complete extension of your hand definitely worth it to buy

The bottom line is that these gloves are fantastic. They are warm, durable, and provide an amazing ammount of dexterity. Really, there isn't much more that you could ask for in a glove. Two things to watch out for though: First, order a size up. According to their mesurments I should be between a 7 and 8, but a 9 fits much more comfortably. This is my second pair of hestras and the same was true with my first. Also, be sure to use the leather balm often, if you don't they will loose their waterproofing and get soaked. Enjoy.

I just got back from 4 solid days of powder skiing in Jackson Hole. These gloves exceeded my expectations by a long shot. They get soaking wet on the outside but the inside still stays warm and dry even in 50 mph 20 degree windy conditions up top. The fit is rather small though so be warned. I measured 8.5 inches around my hand and the 9 feels a bit tight but it definitely wore-in this past week. I definitely recommend these!

These are the most comfortable gloves I have owned, period! I haven't had the chance to try them in really cold weather but so far I've been satisfied with their warmth. The leather and construction allows a suppleness unsurpassed. I can turn the tiny volume knob on the car radio, pick up coins, and comfortably drink a cup of coffee with them on.
The only caution I would advise is to try them on in a retail outlet first because of small size gradations. I ordered a size "9" (Large) which was too small and had to send them back for a size "10" (also Large).

I have had these for about a year now and they are stellar! I used them in all weather and they've held up great. The glove is well made and durable and should last a long time. Chaulk another one for Hestra - well done!

the fit is incredible. But they do not stand up to abuse. Seams on the right glove have frayed increasingly, and the palm doesn't stand up to the abuse of carrying skis with sharp edges over time. Also, they are not the best choice for days under 10 deg F. A good glove for the weekend warrior/on-piste all-around glove.

I have tried on all the Hestras and these were by far the most comfortable and dexterous. Been wearing them everyday this season between -5 and 40 degrees. They are a little chilly under 10 degrees but that's expected. I can't recommend these enough.

this is a great cool looking all weather glove. But its not as warm as other gloves ive had. Something else to note is the neoprene cuffs keep snow out, but arnt really compatible with a watch.

My experience with these gloves are somewhat ambivalent. The fit and feel is perfect, the durability a big disappointment. I have used them for one season of skiing, about 30 days worth, and the seam on the side of the index finger have come completely undone. Also the leather on this finger as well as many ofe the others are frayed and worn down. I have been using the gel or what ever it is that Hestra produces on the gloves frequently. Franly I have to say that I had expected to have these 110$ leather gloves for years to come, so I'm quite dissapointed. What makes mathers worse is that i received these gloves as a compensation for another pair of Hestra gloves where one of the seams in the palm of the glove came undone after about a week of wearing them in town. As I said, I love the feel and fit, and they are just right in terms of warmth; not to cold and not to warm. To bad they are not very durable

Nice snug fit. These are going to make great Spring gloves. Remains to be seen how durable the palms are going to be as they've already gotten sort of scuffed up after only five or six days of use on the hill. However, they're comfortable, have been surprisingly H20 resistant, and have done exactly what I bought them for so far.

look & feel great, will add the fifth star if my hands stay warm in -17C, that will be next season though
