Hestra Falt Guide Glove - Brown/Black

  1 of 57

  My hands get cold quickly and I have bought quite a few pairs of gloves over the last few years that have claimed to keep me warm but none have succeded very well. I decided to give these ones a try after some searching online and reading reviews. Had them on the other weekend on a trip up the Nevis range and must admit I`m impressed with them. My hands were nice and warm wearing them. Took them off to take some photos and by the time I was finished my hands were getting cold again. Within about ten minutes of putting them back on my hands were warm again which I thought was a good test and a great result. They are a bit expensive but they do their job well.

  As to be expected, item arrived quickly. I already own a pair of the Hestra Fall line gloves so I knew what to expect quality wise. The Falt Guide is no exception; stitching, fit and materials used are on point. The fact the lining comes out would allow for drying quicker compared to the Fall line model, which is a bonus. I would highly recommend the gloves and even more so the company. Thanks once again 5/5.

  Perfect fit if you follow the Hestra guide. A very well made pair of winter gloves, using high quality materials. I've only worn these briefly to check sizing, but they are very warm and just ooze quality. I like the fact they included liners which are removable and that you can also use other liners if the temperature isn't as cold, or the included ones get sweaty. Very supple leather is used, and the carabiner is a nice touch. Hestra in my opinion make the best gloves available, while not cheap they are certainly worth the price. Woodlore is also the most competitive site for these particular gloves in the UK.

  Best gloves I’ve ever bought. Removable liner great. So good I bought 2 pairs.

  I have many gloves, and most perform well for UK use. However after many years of trips to the arctic, and trying everything going, I finally got these. I don't favour dedicated ski gloves with draw cord closures, they are too tricky to get on and off for what I do. The Falt glove is quite a bulky glove, but does fit underneath most Scandinavian wide sleeved jackets. I'm not sure that one could get the sleeve of a UK winter mountaineering jacket over the glove, but my Fjallraven Parka and Haglofs jacket fit over them perfectly, so job done. (the glove just fits nicely into the loop of a ski pole at max length.) This all means they are easy to get on and off, and even after a tumble snow stays out. I am normally a size 10.5 in gloves, having long fingers, and had trouble deciding when measuring my hands what size to go for, so I ended up going for size 11 which proved just right. The easy fit allows good blood flow, but the glove is still easy to perform tasks such as tying knots.The liners are easy to get in and out, and I always carry a spare pair, even though I've never needed them. The glove remains warm even when wet from sweat. I found that the liners are best dried by simply removing and chucking on a warm floor, or placing high up in a warm cabin, while the glove itself needs to be kept away from heat, so chuck it on a chair or table. So far so good, an easy glove to live with for skiing and many other jobs, but is it warm? You bet, best glove for warmth I've ever had, better still it works well over a large temperature range. I've had sweaty but comfortable hands at minus 3 and toasty hands at minus 33. Not the best glove for wet UK, but hands down best for the arctic. They appear durable so I am expecting many years of hard use. The balm is also top notch and should keep them soft, supple and water resistant. I put way too much on, but it sort of soon soaks in so no big deal. Just whack it on with warm bare hands, let it soak in overnight. I have never used liner gloves, but if travelling by sled or snow mobile might consider them, as I would over mitts. Over mitts would also be good for shelter building, as handling snow blocks will make any glove wet in time.

  As yet I haven't had the chance to try these gloves out. I would say that they are very well made and very warm. I especially liked the removable lining, and also the merino insert I purchased also. I will look forward to trying these out.

  Well, I received my glove on time I was confident the size would be right as I have other Hestra gloves but as per your shopping guide they are perfect as good as your description. I read about these gloves on your website years ago and now I am a proud owner. Thank you for your prompt efficient service. I can’t report on function until July or August our winter when I am planning to walk the overland track In Tasmania.

  This is a great glove, my second pair, I work as a mountain guide and ski instructor, these are the only gloves that can handle the work. They will last a minimum of 5 years even longer if well cared for. Thank you for the great service.
