Hestra Heli Glove

First class glove. Everything works! Super wrist strap for security on the lift when I tend to adjust my gear and ipod. Super warm and flexible. I purchased a size 9 and had return them for a 10, even after following the sizing chart. I knew better because of a similar review. I am currently using this glove in Chile, Valle Nevado.... Highly recommend this glove to anyone looking for a premium glove at a reasonable price!

These gloves are great. My hands get cold very easily and I had no problems at all with these. Used them for 4 days in Jackson Hole in 20 degree temps. The wrist straps work very well. My only problem is the white leather on the inside of the glove. Gets dirty pretty quickly. Seems like it will hold up, but discolored pretty fast. I ordered an 8, and I had to return for a 9, although I followed their sizing chart.

Best gloves I've ever worn for skiing powder. They are super warm, very durable and the elastic wristbands are sweet for screwing with your gear on the lift since you don't have to worry about dropping one.

The Hestra Heli-Ski glove is a super-hot-looking glove. Get your game on 'cuz these gloves make you look like you know what you're doing! A little less warm than I expected, but your hands won't get wet, and wind won't be an issue at all. All-in-all, an excellent glove with looks to beat anything out there. My friends who have seen these immediately started planning to get their favorite colors of heli-ski gloves when they saw mine.

These gloves fit snug and are wonderful in cold weather. I have had to use an additional liner on very cold nights but on a regular downhill skiing day, the glove is awesome. I usually have trouble with my hands getting cold. I am yet to test these gloves in sub-zero temperatures but so far I am very happy with them.

I used these gloves for 3 days of skiing in Germany and I couldn't be happier. My hands were never wet or cold and the straps let me take them off and not loose them. I would recommend them to anyone.

I bought the Hestra Heli glove for skiing -i gotta have that long gauntlet and these have that and more. i'll start with the bad parts and then i'll get into the good stuff. first the price was a little steep for me, but if you're looking for a great glove your gonna pay for it. i have used the gloves aprox. 45 times this winter and they show almost no wear -small slices in the leather from doing some grabs on skies but that's to be expected. the gloves have a keeper strap that you put on and it's terrific -no more losing gloves off the lift when you gotta get out the cell or the iPod. i skied last weekend in a DOWNPOUR- i made 2 runs and everything was iced and wet except the gloves still dry and warm. i can't say enough about them. as for the folks at this company, they are TOP NOTCH - they get my gear to me when i need it, they stand by their warranty and they care about their customers - keep up the work!

In 35 years of skiing (including multiple Heli trips), this is the Best pair of gloves I have owned. I really like the design of the "wrist retention straps". Everything about the glove is top-notch: the grip, the feel , the design, the materials. Hestra hit it out of the park!

the gloves i bought keep my hands warm. when the temps in Iowa got -32 or below my hands were so warm. i would like to thank these guys for the help with the glove buy.

I returned the Hestra Heli glove without wearing it outdoors because of the fit. While the finger length (size 8) was perfect, the wrist area was too tight, even without securing the Velcro wrist strap/cinch. Using the wrist strap made it too difficult to remove the glove, which I often do. If your someone who rarely removes a glove then it might work fine for you. Also, while the wrist 'leash' is great in that it has a tight wrist-band attached to the cord, it was uncomfortable (too wide), interfering with my layering at the wrist. All of this is personal and you might find the fit fine. I suggest allowing enough time to return for a different size (I subsequently tried on a larger size in a store and it was too big in the fingers but OK at the wrist). I noticed a couple of other skiers wearing the glove and their wrist cinch was not secured, so I suspect this is common. The feel of the glove when on is excellent in its flexibility and form-fitting. I wish they had been just a little wider at the wrist-it doesn't really need the wrist cinch. The gauntlet is great and the insert covers most of it. The Black diamond 'Prodigy' or the 'OR 'Couloir' are alternatives, though the BD doesn't have a wrist strap (there are two small loops that should accommodate rigging your own).

These arrived at my door the day before I flew to Utah for a week of classic powder. The leather palm is great for feel, but you need to keep it cleaned & lathered up with mink oil or something of the like. The liners are wonderful! But only if it's really chilly, because I got too warm after a few hard runs at 32F. Thankfully you can remove & replace them. A kicker for me, outside of the nice gauntlet, is the "idiot straps" that allow you to take off your gloves without thinking twice about dropping them. Though I cannot count the times my mind freaked out thinking I was about to lose my gloves on the lift. Great glove. Looks good too.

buy a pair and your hands will thank you! I have tried many brands and Hestra are outstanding!!

These are the best extreme cold weather gloves I've ever used. I was snowmobiling in -25F and my hands never got cold, everything else did! I noticed the guys on Everest using these, I'll be taking them to Denali this summer. The leather is soft & supple, which makes handling items easy. If you wearing an extra liner glove, go a size bigger. Great glove and an even better deal! Thanks

I had to finally try these gloves because I've heard so much about them. They are the real deal. Really plush and warm with real specific sizes. The leather is so supple I thought it may damage easy but not the case at all. I'm hard on gear and they still look brand new. The wrist strap is the best I've ever used. Buy a pair of goat liners and get a size up if you do backcountry sports and need to have your hands protected during transitions.

the only glove I'd ever buy. I've got a pair of the mitten version and i"ve just bought my husband his second pair. Flexible, warm and hard-wearing - great stuff !!

Excellent glove, holding up well so far (I've gone thru a dozen gloves in the past dozen years, usually the leather stitching breaks down) and a fine price.

I purchased three pair of these gloves for my sons and my husband for Christmas, they love them! My boys both snowboard and my husband and I have a small horse farm in Pennsylvania so warm hands for any of our outdoor activities are important. Previously, gloves I purchased were too small for their big hands or too bulky to move. My only regret is that I didn't order a pair for myself!

great glove warm and comfortable.

Excellent glove. Well worth the money. I did purchase a glove liner in addition though, just for extra warmth on those really cold mornings.

This is my first Hestra glove. I honestly had never heard of the brand before buying this glove. I tested this glove out on some very cold days in Vail Colorado. I previously owned a pair of North Face gloves. I really like the feel of the Hestra Heli Gloves. My fingers felt nimble and able to do whatever I needed. I ended up not using the hook and loop strap underneath the glove. My fingers were a little cold, but then again it was 2 degrees with a 15 mph wind so I expected it. All in all, I love these gloves and will not be going back to my North Face ones any time soon.

I took these gloves out in Vermont in about 25 degrees...my fingertips actually got a little cold, though it wasn't unbearably cold. but besides that, the gloves are very well constructed, comfortable, and work very well. they just weren't as warm as i thought they'd be

Great gloves. Purchased for my husband who has very large hands and difficulty finding gloves that fit. Size 12 gloves fit his hand like a glove! They are also warm and well made. we won't be able to judge durability yet, but so far so good. It is unfortunate there aren't more options and choices for large hands, but these work and he is happy.

I just spent a week in Breckenridge in which mid-mountain wind chills were well below zero. I was the only one in our party of six that did not have cold hands. This included my wife, who was sporting new Spyder gloves in the same price range. Worse yet, her Spyder gloves had hand-armer pockets and she used them. Best of all, was the way the Hestras handled moisture. Through circumstances too humiliating to recount, I ended up beginning one day with snow inside my right glove. I braced myself for a day-long ordeal. Within 15 minutes the snow had been wicked away from my finger tips and I was completely warm. I have never been so utterly satisfied with a piece of equipment.

I've been wearing gloves for a long time that loose function and warmth. Not anymore these gloves are outstanding extremely warm, versatile, and made to kick the crap out of. Have not had any problems, the wrist leashes are brilliant.

These gloves are all they are cracked up to be. Just used them in Late Tahoe, in 40 degree whether...and didn't sweat a drop in them, week later skied in the east coast in about 5 degree weather stayed warm the whole time. One feature i loved were the wrist cuffs, you can take off ur glove while on the lift without ever worrying about dropping it from the lift.

Okay...phalangies = fingers! When all my friends were complaining how their fingers were freezing, I was like "I don't know what you guys are talking about, mine are Toastie!" I did get some snow on one of the finger slots from an unfortunate tumble. When I was resting at the lodge between runs, I took out the liner and dried it up in just a few minutes. And back to toastie phalangies! I kept offering them to my girl who kept complaining how cold her hands were, she declined.... sucks for her! These are Highly recommended!

not a warm glove. Should get a little better when it packs out some.

Bought these gloves for my girl friend who always has cold hands-not any more. The gloves fit great, and her hands are VERY WARM now.S he even took the liner out one day. Can't beat these gloves. They are so nice I even bought a pair.

They list this glove as not for snowboard, but that's what I use them for. They are great, just be sure to keep the leather oiled/waterproofed. The wrist closure straps would be great for ice climbing, but these gloves are too thick for that anyway. The wrist cuff/strap is great for climbing or exposed backcountry skiing when you need to take your gloves off but don't want to lose them. Elastic closure on the gauntlet works great. One of the best ski gloves I've had.

I am completely satisfied with my Hestra glove purchase. They are easy on and off, warm, dry, and not nearly as cumbersome as others I've tried (I used a small camera without removing them). I used them in deep Utah powder, and they worked wonderfully. The “idiot straps” are really handy as well. Nice recommendation by the online helper here.

The gloves are great. Make sure you put the leather protection on as the snow will ruin them if you don't. There's a lot of hooks to ensure that you don't misplace these expensive gloves; a huge bonus! However, get a light glove to wear underneath for added warmth and for the moments where large gloves are too much.

These gloves are warm and have a removable liner that you can take out and dry as needed. I like the leather palms and fingers for durability and gripping. The whole glove is water resistant at least and water proof at best. My fingers and hands stayed dry even after several "Busts".

Just have two days use of these gloves, and boy I am pleased. I've searched many days and found these fit the ticket. Warm, easy to put on, easy to take off, and the Goat leather can't be beat; so soft and supple. You can "feel" the poles, and you don't have to take them off the undo your jacket. Such a well made glove and it looks cool too. Very sweet.
