HESTRA SKI GLOVESÂ
Technical Hestra Gloves for Skiing & Snowboarding
Hestra ski gloves are designed for skiers who want dependable protection, warmth, grip and dexterity on the mountain. From resort skiing and snowboarding to freeride adventures and demanding days in variable conditions, Hestra has developed specialist gloves for different types of winter activity.
​
At Hit The Trail, we offer an extensive selection of Hestra ski gloves and mittens, including technical leather gloves, insulated designs and waterproof options. Whether you prefer the feel and durability of leather, the warmth of a mitten or the precision of a five-finger glove, there's a Hestra design to suit your skiing and the conditions you're likely to encounter.
Hestra Ski Gloves for Different Types of Skiing
Skiing can place very different demands on your hands depending on where and how you spend your time on the mountain. Hestra's range includes gloves designed for resort skiing, freeride and off-piste adventures, snowboarding and more active days in challenging winter conditions.
​
Resort skiing and snowboarding often call for warmth, weather protection and reliable grip, while freeride and backcountry skiing can demand greater dexterity, durability and flexibility. Choosing a glove suited to your activity can make a noticeable difference to comfort throughout the day.
Hestra Gloves for Resort Skiing
For regular piste skiing and snowboarding, look for a balance of warmth, weather protection and comfortable grip. Insulated Hestra gloves with waterproof or water-resistant construction are well suited to long days on the slopes.
Hestra Gloves for Freeride &
Off-Piste Skiing
When skiing away from prepared pistes, durable materials and dependable protection become increasingly important. Hestra's technical leather gloves and freeride designs combine robust construction with the grip and dexterity needed when conditions become more demanding.
Hestra Gloves for Ski Touring
& Backcountry
Ski touring brings a different set of requirements, with higher activity levels and changing conditions making breathability and dexterity particularly important. For dedicated touring, explore our separate Hestra Ski Touring Gloves collection.
Leather Hestra Ski Gloves
Leather has been central to Hestra's glove-making expertise for generations, and many of the brand's most distinctive ski gloves combine carefully selected leather with modern insulation, membranes and technical construction.
​
Goat leather is particularly valued for its combination of durability, flexibility and grip, making it well suited to ski gloves where you need to hold poles securely while retaining good feel and dexterity.
​
Depending on the model, Hestra combines leather with waterproof membranes, synthetic insulation or soft linings to create gloves suited to different temperatures and conditions.
Hestra Ski Gloves or Mittens?
Choosing between a five-finger glove and a mitten often comes down to the balance you want between warmth and dexterity.
​
Five-finger ski gloves give you greater individual finger movement and are particularly useful when handling ski poles, zips and equipment.
​
Mittens generally allow the fingers to share warmth within the main hand compartment and can be a great choice for colder conditions or skiers who tend to get cold hands.
​
Hestra offers both approaches, including technical mittens designed for demanding days in the mountains.

Waterproof & Weather-Resistant Hestra Ski Gloves
Winter conditions can change quickly on the mountain, so weather protection is an important consideration when choosing ski gloves. Hestra uses different materials and constructions across its range, from treated leather and wind-resistant fabrics to gloves incorporating waterproof and breathable membranes.
​
A waterproof membrane can be particularly useful in wet snow and changeable conditions, while well-treated leather offers excellent durability and grip. For active skiing and touring, breathability is equally important as it helps moisture escape when you're working hard on the mountain.
Warmth, Insulation & Choosing the Right Hestra Ski Glove
There isn't one perfect ski glove for every skier or every day on the mountain. The right choice depends on temperature, activity level, weather conditions and how much dexterity you need.
​
For colder resort days, a warmer insulated glove or mitten can be a good choice. If you're skiing hard, touring uphill or skiing in milder conditions, a lighter and more breathable glove may be more comfortable.
​
It's also worth considering how you layer your gloves. Some Hestra models have removable liners, allowing you to dry them between days or swap in a fresh liner when conditions require it.
