Are these much stiffer compared with the Hestra Heli gloves? I see the extra leather inserts on the thumb and index finger, and know there is a Gore-Tex layer, in addition to somewhat different materials used. I'm just wondering if this glove is going to feel too stiff while gripping ski poles compared with the Heli gloves.

This season I ended up getting the XCR, and my best buddy got the Heli. I tried one on each hand and there didn't seem to be too much of a difference. I used them 6 full days and they continued to loosen up considerable through use. I wouldn't be too worried about them being too stiff.
