Hestra Heli Glove

5 Star Rating

Fantastic! but have a few questions.

By Ranked #16 - Ski Gloves January 2, 2011

These were the best gloves I have ever owned. I went night skiing at squaw valley in the 15 degree temperatures, and never got cold. Once, I accidentally got snow in the glove, and within 10 minutes they were toasty again.

The color of the leather got darker, but when dried, it went back to normal. Is this normal?

Should you put the leather polisher on every day, or every few days?

just to add to the great advice already given, allow the glove to sit at least overnight after using the conditioner, and moistening the glove just a touch is a good idea too.

Put on more leather cream when the leather starts to dry out or leak water. It's for waterproofing and conditioning the leather (prevents the leather from cracking). It's only lanolin, wax and vegetable oils (Oberon).
