Hestra Soft Shell Ski Glove

Item #HES0071 | 0 in Stock
4 Star Rating

not the glove pictured

By Ranked #1296 - Ski Gloves February 11, 2009

I received a pair of these in the mail the other day. they look like promising gloves in many ways, but the strap on these is on the backside of the glove unlike the picture here where it is on the palmside. All the other Hestras seem to have a palmside strap....weird. Maybe this is an outdated stock. Anyone know if the outside strap is a bum deal (catches easily or anything?)?

Also, for sizing, I measure 7.25 long and 8 around. I got 8's. They feel comfortable around the plam, but a tad snug in the fingers (and maybe amm. short). I'm thinking the leather fingers may stretch out, but if they don't I could be looking at some cold fingers....bc.com reps tell me stick with the 8 as the palm perimeter measurement is more crucial and theypredict the fingers will stretch just enough....we'll see.
