The Hestra Leather Gore-Tex ski gloves is a long-cuffed and durable alpine ski glove for those who need a warm and dry glove, in really tough weather conditions, at a high activity level. These hestra ski gloves are rated "Best in test" in several ski magazines. It is one of the most durable options on the market and with some upkeep, which involves re-treating the exterior leather 1-2 times per year, it will outlast most alternatives.
With durable and proofed goat leather to give a superior hold, the premium ski glove also benfits from a liner that is a thin PTFE membrane that behaves in the same way as human skin. It breathes, i.e. it releases excess heat and body moisture, while preventing the penetration of any moisture from outside.
Thin and supple polyester-based insulation, thermolite retains its insulating properties even when wet.

Extract from review: "The Hestra Army Leather Gore-Tex is warm. It's warmer than most ski gloves out there and only bested by a small few. We felt comfortable skiing in most conditions to around 0F, as long as it wasn't too stormy. Our testers noted that the Army had a cozy fleece lining that feels spectacular when you slip them on. Not only does it warm your hand up quickly, but we found that it added to the sensation of warmth and it was something we preferred over both of the previously mentioned gloves, earning the Leather Gore-Tex a high place overall scoring among the gloves. Mittens were, as expected, noticeably warmer".
