I'm on the fence about whether to purchase the Hestra Guide Glove or the Heli Glove. I'm a sit skier, and I'm on track to get about 100 days this season, skiing and teaching at Telluride. I want a glove that will be very durable, very water-resistant, and keep powder out when it gets deep. I would immediately get the Guide Glove, but my only concern is that it looks like the gauntlet can't be tightened around my forearm, whereas the Heli Glove can be tightened. Since I have to stick my arms through outriggers when I ski, this could be a bit of a hassle if I can't get the gloves tight enough. Anyone have experience with both pairs?

I own both pairs of these gloves. I personally prefer the guide over the heli. I tend to take my gloves off quite a bit on a pow day, either to dj or just adjust things when im splitboarding. I found the the cuff on the heli gets a lot more snow in it then the guide. Its also bulkier so it can be a pain to stuff into your sleave. Either way these are both fantastic gloves and I would wear either of them on any day. I just prefer the smaller profile of the guide. Hope this helps
