Hestra Vertical Cut Freeride Glove

Item #HES0115 | 100 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Dexterous as ****

By Backcountry.com Employee May 6, 2009

What can I say, these gloves are the bees knees. I use snowseal or nikwax to totally waterproof these. I usually heat them up in the oven at warm for 5 minutes and apply the sealant liberally. I repeat this until the gloves will not accept anymore sealant. Then I throw them in the freezer for a couple minutes to allow the sealant to set a bit. The leather is supple, but still holds up to the abuse of skiing everyday. You will not regret your purchase.
