Hestra Heli 3-Finger Glove

Item #HES0016 | 82 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Close to perfect for my needs

By Ranked #1820 - Ski Gloves December 10, 2007

I was looking for the warmest possible glove. Keeping 3 fingers together (still individually wrapped inside) really helps. This is much warmer than my Trek Lobster cycling gloves, but I miss that glove's soft absorbent nose wipe area. Similarly, this is about equal in warmth to my almost-warm-enough SWANY X Change glove, except this lacks the zippered area for a heat pack of the SWANY. It's been perfect so far, but today's 20 degrees is as low as it's gotten yet this Fall, leaving another 20 degrees or so for a full test. I particularly like the Heli's elastic wrist bands to keep from losing them. Those work much better than the ones that came with the SWANY.
