Hestra Falt Guide Glove - Brown/Black

  1 of 80

  These are extremely well made, comfortable and while only time and conditions will tell, they look to be very warm and durable.

  Starting at the beginning. The price of the gloves on the site was good compared to elsewhere and was not in a sale. Delivery was extremely quick and efficient. I used the size guide and my hand length came up perfect for the size 9 and I would say that the guide was accurate, so if you are between sizes then go up. The width is a little snug and I don't have particularly chunky hands but the leather is very supple and I am sure will stretch to give a perfect fit. The quality seems to be absolutely superb and they are extremely comfortable but not so bulky that I can't undo zips and buckles or handle a knife. I bought them for winter hill use and winter (or even the cold) isn't here yet so I cannot comment on their performance. I bought them to replace an old pair of Goretex gloves that have finally given up the ghost. First impressions are that they are warmer, they certainly won't melt like the reinforced palm on the old ones if you have to handle something hot and I think they will be a lot easier to take off and put back on with damp hands with the wool liner. My only concern is how well they will perform and then dry out in the wet but being able to remove the liner so easily should help that. On first impressions I would absolutely recommend them. I also own a few items of Fjallraven and Bergans gear. It is all very pricey but so far no piece of this Scandi gear has been anything less than superbly made and high performing. None of them seem to have sold out to the mass market yet.

  As many others have noted, these are a wonderful pair of outdoor gloves for cool to cold weather. Have tested these in the Australian Alps recently and they were perfect for a multi day hike in temps around 3C and winds of 80Kph. Have ordered a couple of pairs of spare liners for those occasions when they could get wet. Consistent sizing across other Hestra gloves I have.

  An expensive pair of gloves. Would be tempting to only use them on special occasions. I haven't. I've used them regularly around the farm in Scotland for the past three months and they have stood up to everything I've thrown at them, including moving a lot of heavy and rough concrete blocks. There is hardly a mark on them. In the cold weather they were warm, rather than hot. For hot, you need Hestra mittens. The only minus point is that they are a snug fit and just a bit of a struggle to get on. A larger size would have meant the finger length would have been too long, and a bit of a struggle to get off for tasks such as for answering the phone or a job that needs fingers. But overall I like them very much and I feel they will last a long time.

  Amazing gloves with excellent advice from Woodlore regarding sizing and a spare set of liners. The detailing and build quality of these gloves really do justify the Hestra price tag.

  These are the best gloves I have ever owned. I found the sizing guide perfect and the gloves are a perfect fit. The two part design is fantastically versatile and the build quality is exceptional. They are supplied with a care guide and small sample of the Hestra balm which is great for ensuring the gloves are well maintained. I highly recommend these gloves. As always the customer service from Woodlore is outstanding.

  This is my Second pair of these gloves, I sadly lost the first pair whilst out walking. They are the best gloves I've ever bought, the quality is superb and they are excellent at keeping you warm. I suffer with Raynaud's syndrome and these are the best non heated gloves, for helping to keep it at bay.

  Very good product for cold and wet weather, once you get used to their bulk. look very durable.

  I bought these to see me through the recent cold snap in the UK winter. I measured my hands as instructed and I was a size 9. When the size 9's were too small with the liners in, so I sent them back and went for size 10 which fitted perfectly. They are beautifully crafted. Precisely cut and sewn, different cuts of leather for different softness to suit the appropriate part of the hand. A comfortable and long elasticated cuff and no zips to break. I tried them at 0 degrees in a stiff breeze and my hands were completely unaffected by the weather. The lining is held in with small strips of Velcro are easily removed for breathing and cleaning. A tube of leather conditioner is provided and this is enough for 1 application. People have mentioned how the leather darkens for this treatment, what I noticed was how much more soft and supple the leather became. Very comfortable, beautifully made, and kept my hands completely warm. Very highly recommended.

  This was a Christmas gift from my Son, the fit was perfect due to me having other Hestra models of gloves. As yet I have only used them out walking in the local woods in temperatures down to -2oC and they are toasty. Roll on when I can camp and put them to test properly.
