What we like: Very warm, long-lasting build, and comfortable. Insulation: PrimaLoft One synthetic, wool See the Hestra Heli Glove See the Women's Hestra HeliĪ Close Second (With Better Waterproofing) 2. For a truly waterproof version without removable liners, check out the Hestra Army Leather Gore-Tex ($190).
This popular glove has spawned a couple variations, including a mitten for maximum warmth and a 3-finger glove that splits the difference. Some prefer a glove with a nylon shell for better waterproofing, but we find the simple maintenance to be well worth the effort-even for skiing in the wet snow of the Pacific Northwest. The benefit is that the glove flexes easily and is very durable, but you will occasionally need to reapply a leather conditioner to the palm and fingers to keep moisture at bay (a small sample of Hestra’s Leather Balm is included). For these reasons, we think the Heli is the perfect partner for keeping you warm on the mountain.Īs with nearly all Hestra products, the Heli has liberal amounts of leather in its construction. The Heli’s premium build quality, warmth, and comfort all stand out at a price that undercuts other high-end ski gloves. This comfortable and highly functional ski glove has been around for years, but its hybrid leather and synthetic construction remains best in class.
Ski professionals the world over have trusted Swedish manufacturer Hestra for decades, and the Heli is our top pick. What we don’t: Requires some maintenance to stay waterproof. What we like: Beautifully made, cozy and warm, and good dexterity.
