Another Field test.

Well Over the past 2 years I have done extensive field test on the Hestra Heli glove.I decided to go from my size 9 to a size 10. the reason being when Your hands get very cold having a little more room for your fingers to move and have blood circulate helps. So I took these up to the blue hills on a day hike temps around 0. Right from the get go I noticed I had more warmth even when I hit the tree line with more wind and snow. Most average hands run size 9 in these, but try the 10 they are just a tad longer and wider. I would say you get about 10-25 pct more warmth and don't loose any mobility or function. As the last review said about the wrist strap being hoaxy , if your a mountaineer or hiker or skier It is a life saver! I had these on walking across some flat ice over rock and dumped hard and fell onto my wrist ! The wrist lock was on and totally saved me from a broken wrist!!! I walked away with a story and my wrist intact . I have paired these up with a set of patagonia heavy glove liners . They are the best I have come across. hope this latest review helps.
