It's official - The Hestra Guide Glove has now changed its name. Since Winter 2007/8 this glove has been known as The Falt Glove in honour of
Lars Falt , Sweden's leading expert in the field of survival training and the founder of the Swedish Armed Forces Survival School. Many of our clients have experienced Lars' expertise first-hand on Woodlore's
Arctic Experience courses .
Lars advocates quality and care rather than throw-away purchases, and this is why he chose a pair of Guide Gloves from Hestra to protect his hands.
"These are the best made gloves that I have ever seen," says Lars,
"If you look after your gloves they will last as long as you want."
Ray also recommends The Hestra Guide Glove for use in the Arctic and, as with Lars, these gloves have become one of Ray's firm favourites when visiting the frozen North.
The Hestra Guide Glove is designed for people for whom skiing is a profession: pisteurs, ski instructors, mountain guides etc. In other words to be used under demanding conditions!
These hard-wearing gloves are made entirely of leather and come complete with removable wool liners and a trail sample of
Hestra Leatherbalm . For use over prolonged periods, Ray recommends having a
spare pair of Hestra Liners with you which you can then use while your first pair are left to dry.
Features:
Outer material: Upper section of proofed, natural brown cowhide with proofed, Army Black goat leather palm
Glove liner: Wool pile lining on the back with wool terry cloth palm
Eyelet with snap hook to keep your gloves securely attached when not in use
Sizes: 6 - 11 (As a general rule your shoe size is often your hand size)
