bsolutely love these gloves. They are my go‑to option for skiing in Colorado. Sizing is important with these gloves, so make sure to follow Hestra’s measurement guidelines. I found them to be very accurate. I went into a Sun & Ski shop and tried on several sizes, and the recommended size fit exactly as expected. These gloves are extremely warm. They come with a liner, but I also use an additional thin liner inside the glove. This makes them easier to put on and take off, and it helps keep my fingers warm when I briefly remove the gloves. The wrist straps are also a great feature and keep the gloves within reach when they are off. The three‑finger, or crab claw, design is the standout feature. You get the warmth benefits of mittens by keeping fingers together, while still having the functionality of a glove. I can easily zip up a jacket or handle small tasks using my pointer finger. Regular gloves feel too restrictive to me, and these strike the perfect balance. Overall, these gloves are warm, functional, and extremely high quality. I highly recommend them. Read more

I am a gear nerd who lives in Minnesota. I know cold. I know mittens are much more effective for keeping warmth together at your fingers. However the functionality of gloves is just too hard to give up when you're skiing, doing other outside sports or just outdoor living in the winter. This is like the perfect combo. Its easy on / off mitten with a liner inside. Beautiful leather and it does a good job of retaining heat while not getting too hot. These are my new go to ski gear for my hands and they have made a night and day difference even compared to my favorite pair of gloves (and I owned a lot). Read more

If your wondering to buy or not buy the mittens I will tell you right now they are the best. Even when I went skiing in -10 degree weather my fingers remained pretty warm but got a bit cold towards lunch but that was not the gloves fault that was my own poor circulated hands. No other glove/mitten could even remain this warm that I have tried before. If you really want warm mittens just add in your own silk or wool liner and then you will stay warm no matter what, when I did this my hands started sweating even though it was 5 out and I had to remove the liner to stop sweating. In this glove their is the outer shell which protects from snow, wind, and wetness. Then inside there is a mitten shaped "liner" which is removable and held in place by Velcro which holds it down firmly in place and is easy to put back in. I said "liner" because that liner is all the warmth of the glove and the outer shell is nothing at all except for the leather and waterproof material that keeps your liner dry. Also with this glove there is a very nice leash that you can put around your wrist so if you take your gloves off they are not going anywhere. The gauntlet of the glove is very long which is nice because that fits right over your jacket and then your tighten the string and no element is going in the glove. Because the leather is real you will have to keep it in shape with leather balm, sno-seal, etc. to keep it in good shape and for your gloves to last longer. There is an included Hestra brand leather balm they give to start you off so that is quite nice. Overall this is a great mitten that is super warm and can hold up against extreme conditions.

So warm, high quality. Wore these on a long day of skiing at 10°F outside and my hands were just warm enough without sweating. Read more

These gloves have really been great. I’ve used several pairs of different mits and whatnot through my snowboarding experience, and this are by far the best. I have never used a pair of mits which were more insulating or breathable than these. They hit that perfect point where they maintain good heat but won’t induce sweating, which is very uncommon in gloves and mits. As long as you take care of the leather (leather balm every few trips, just google it), they will not crack what so ever or become wet. They’re incredibly waterproof. They aren’t perfect though, as close as they do come. I believe you should get the mittens, rather than these trigger finger mits. The solo finger can get cold if it’s very frigid out. Also, the leather will slightly darken over time (in my case After a whole season), but I’m sure you could clean them to look like new for the most part. The leather can hold rust if you are holding your board’s edge for some time. Again, these complaints are very minor as compared to how great these are. Like I said, If I were to get another hestra glove I would get the mittens, but these do perform great. Overall worth every penny not having to worry about getting wet gloves from a long day, not to mention the comfort. 10/10 would recommend again. Read more
