Hestra Army Leather Heli

 

Hestra has been the leading brand in high-end gloves for so long that they’re almost synonymous with great performance and fit. Hestra uses a more nuanced sizing structure than most brands, so it’s easier to find a perfect fit that’s not too small and tight, or big and floppy. The Triton shell and goat leather palm provide a durable barrier against the elements, and the removable liner keeps your hands warm in any condition. The Army Leather Heli Ski glove is designed to fit over your jacket cuff, and cinch down to create an impermeable barrier.

Hestra’s Army Leather Heli Ski gloves are a classic for a reason. They set the bar high for how a premium glove should fit and perform.
