Excellent glove, just one minor detail

The Hestra Heli is the warmest, most comfortable, most dextrous glove I've ever owned. I was nervous about trying a leather glove, so I applied a nice thick coat of the supplied wax a few days before I used them. After 4 days at Mt. Baker, my hands didn't get cold or wet once, and so far no damage from my board edge. On the thrid day, a few spots in the leather looked like the wax had worn off and water had soaked into the leather, but my hands never got wet. No cuts from my board edge yet either.

The one issue that I have is that snow seems to work its way into the velcro wrist closure, and if you're in deep powder, by about 10am they won't even close. I had to leave them open all day towards the end of my trip. Not a deal breaker, but I've never had that issue on my last two pairs of Burton Gore-Tex gloves.
