Product Description

The Hestra Army Leather Heli Ski 5 Finger Gloves are the brand’s most celebrated design — a long, durable glove built to perform in harsh alpine conditions. Combining a waterproof and breathable 3-layer polyamide backhand with impregnated goat leather palms, they deliver exceptional protection and grip without compromising flexibility. Inside, a removable Bemberg fleece liner with G-Loft polyester insulation traps warmth while allowing easy drying or layering adjustments depending on temperature and activity level.

Designed with Hestra’s signature curved ergonomic fit, the gloves feel natural from the first wear and maintain dexterity for everything from adjusting boots to holding an ice axe. A snowlock with drawstring closure and Velcro wrist adjustment ensure a secure seal against snow, while wrist straps/handcuffs prevent accidental drops. A carabiner, eyelet and hanging loop add practical attachment options — ideal for touring, climbing, or long powder days. Compatible with Hestra’s modular liner system, these gloves can easily be upgraded or adapted for any condition.

Rugged, warm, and endlessly reliable — the Heli Ski 5 Finger Gloves are built for those who live for deep days and demanding adventures.
