I am trying to decide between this and the Norrona Narvik Goretex/Primaloft 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. How does the white leather hold up? Thanks

Can't comment on the Noronna's but the Hestra is an extremely warm glove, great breathability and very durable. I have two pair, 9 and a 10 which I can use with an additional thin silk liner in exceptionally cold conditions. The glove seems to get warmer with more use as the liner fluffs up and the leather softens. The palms are wide fitting and the fingers are a decent length. The white leather is really tough and holds up well in New Zealand's sometimes wet snow conditions and maintains its waterproofing well. Great glove, warm and practical. Best I've ever had.
