I am trying to decide between this and the Hestra Heli Gloves. What is the comparable warmth, breathability, durability of the two? Will be using them for skiing in the Pacific Northwest. Also, do they run large or small? I have a large palm but medium fingers.

the Hestras have a single piece of leather on the palm, so you dont have to worry about Norronas rubber grippies to peel off and leave you hanging,(or not hanging on i guess) The sizing of these is nearly dead on, if your fingers are thicker, then you might want to do some 12oz curls with them on until they pack down. I had a pair of these, and I'd go Hestra. the full leather palm, larger gauntlet and nicer (and elastic) "idiot strap" to keep them on your person. (I am an idiot and lost the norronas because i never put the strap on my wrist)
