It just doesn't get better

By Ranked #1294 - Ski Gloves October 11, 2009

I was skeptical at first of the whole hype surrounding hestra and this glove in particular. I finally sacked up and dropped the money on these gloves and i still feel like an idiot for not doing it sooner, these are far and away the best gloves I have ever owned. Not once have my fingers gotten cold, not once have my hands gotten wet, not once have i gotten snow down through the cuff, and I've never hurt my knuckles when hitting branches in the trees. They also have enough of a low profile fit that it's not an ordeal trying to get my jacket zipped up. They fit bigger than the Fall Line and Boronowski's, finger length is similar but they're wider and hence warmer. The fleece inside is super soft and warm and the leather is incredibly supple.

I balmed them right out of the package but even before treatment the leather was incredibly soft and just gets softer with more use. I've owned these for over a year and there is no damage anywhere on them, they're very well made and designed, recommended to everyone
