 Poster: A snowHead
|
My beloved Hestras have finally died. They have lasted me for 6 years and over 150 glorious days.
So to replace them.... I have the 'claw' style with 5 finger liner which I can't seem to find anywhere other than on Hestra's website.
https://hestragloves.com/sport/en/gloves/alpine-pro/31462-army-leather-gore-tex/100/
The shops all seem to have similar mitts, but with 3 finger liners.
Does anyone know where I can get these gloves with 5 finger liners?

I have these claw style mitts, and looking at the Hestra website, I think there has been something lost in translation; I don't think they actually do a 5 finger 'glove' inside the claw mitt.
The inners (which are attached and not removable, as they are on the non-Gore Tex Army Leather Heli-Ski) are only 3 finger (the same as the outer), so effectively a thumb, forefinger and the remaining 3 fingers.
I think the reference to a 5 finger inner is somewhat misleading.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Snow and Rock have them on sale. But no mention of the liners in the product information

@bar shaker, I have both the five finger and three finger inners for my lobster claw Hestra’s. I swap them around depending on the temperature. (I find the three finger inners to be warmer).
They are not expensive. I often replace them ( new ones are warmer). I get them online. If you can’t find them let me know. Sometimes I get them in the US as they come quicker/have a larger stock.
I am there in May- PM me if you can’t find them online here.

...except on the version that @bar shaker references, https://hestragloves.com/sport/en/gloves/alpine-pro/31462-army-leather-gore-tex/100/ , the inners are not removable and are a 3 finger liner.

They are the same ones I have. Three finger. Army leather/goretex. Heli Ski. They originally came with a five finger inner. It is removable. Exactly as per the photo and description. Honest. Only mine are red.

@bar shaker, try these people. I bought my original gloves from them mail order and liners since then.
https://www.theski-shop.co.uk/
Or if no joy, these are the people I order through in the US. They seem to have a wide range of stock. They are distributors and speak fluent Hestra.

This time of year is awkward- you may have to wait until the new stock comes in next Autumn.

Thanks for all of your help people.
There are two types of these ‘lobster’ 3 finger mitts. One type has a liner for each zone and the other has a liner for each finger. This last sort is what I had and the part number I linked. These also have reinforcing leather patches over the thumb and fore finger - which you would wear out with snowboard bindings. This 5 finger type also have Goretex gauntlets. When it’s cold, pulling the cord on these makes them super toasty.
Anyway I’m in Covent Garden so called into EB. They only have the lower grade ones. A quick hop over to Snow+Rock and result! £105 in the sale too.
He’s to another 5-6 years of warm comfy hands.

I bought a pair of ‘lobster 3 finger’ Hestra gauntlets with 5 finger removable inners off Amazon for £49.99 - these had PU patches rather than leather, so I suspect they’re the ‘cheap’ version but I was very happy with them!!

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

PU patches sounds more Ressra than Hestra.
