Hestra –
The Art of Glove Making Since 1936
Since 1936, Hestra has concentrated on one thing: making exceptional gloves.
​
What began in the Swedish village of Hestra has developed into one of the world's best-known glove specialists, while retaining a strong connection to its Scandinavian roots. Generations of experience, carefully selected materials and long-standing relationships with suppliers and tanneries all contribute to the quality and character of Hestra gloves.
​
From beautifully made leather gloves to highly technical designs for skiing, climbing and mountaineering, Hestra combines traditional glove-making knowledge with modern materials and construction.
​
That specialist approach is one of the reasons we are proud to offer such an extensive Hestra collection at Hit The Trail.
Hestra Gloves for Every Adventure
One of the strengths of Hestra is the sheer variety of gloves the brand creates. Different activities demand different things from a glove, and Hestra has developed specialist designs for a remarkable range of outdoor pursuits.
Hestra Hiking & Walking Gloves
For winter walks, trekking and everyday adventures outdoors, Hestra offers gloves designed to balance warmth, comfort, grip and protection from the elements.
​
From versatile fleece and leather gloves to windproof and waterproof designs, there are Hestra options for changing conditions and different levels of activity.
Hestra Ski & Snowboard Gloves
Hestra has a long association with skiing, producing gloves designed for everything from resort skiing and snowboarding to demanding days in the mountains.
​
Look for warm insulated gloves and mittens, durable leather palms, waterproof constructions and technical features designed to keep your hands protected while maintaining the dexterity needed on the slopes.
Hestra Ski Touring & Backcountry Gloves
Ski touring places very different demands on a glove from a day spent riding a chairlift. Breathability, dexterity, warmth and weather protection all become important as activity levels change.
​
Hestra's ski touring and backcountry gloves are designed for active winter adventures where your hands need to work as hard as the rest of you.
Hestra Climbing & Mountaineering Gloves
When climbing, mountaineering and alpinism, a glove needs to provide protection without getting in the way.
​
Hestra's technical climbing gloves combine close-fitting construction, grip and dexterity with materials designed to cope with demanding mountain environments. Features such as pre-curved fingers, reinforced areas and secure cuffs help when you're working with ropes, equipment and transitions.
Hestra Cycling & MTB Gloves
Hestra also produces gloves for cycling and mountain biking, with designs that focus on grip, dexterity and protection while remaining comfortable during active use.
​
For everything from cold-weather rides to year-round outdoor cycling, the right glove can make a significant difference to comfort and control.
Hestra Everyday Winter Gloves
Not every adventure needs a technical glove. Hestra also makes beautifully designed gloves for everyday winter life, from walking the dog and travelling to getting outside on a cold morning.
​
These styles bring together Hestra's glove-making expertise with the warmth, comfort and understated Scandinavian design the brand is known for.
Why Choose Hestra Gloves?
Generations of Glove-Making Expertise
Hestra has been making gloves since 1936, giving the brand generations of specialist experience in glove construction, materials, fit and function.
​
Exceptional Materials
Hestra uses a wide range of carefully selected materials, from premium leather and wool to technical fabrics, waterproof membranes and insulating materials. Each is chosen according to the demands of the glove.
​
Designed for Movement
A good technical glove needs to work with your hands rather than restrict them. Hestra's designs pay close attention to shaping, dexterity and fit, helping you maintain control when you need it.
​
Protection Without Losing Dexterity
Whether you're handling ski equipment, climbing gear, trekking poles or bike controls, Hestra understands that warmth and protection shouldn't come at the expense of useful movement.
​
Built for Real Outdoor Use
Hestra gloves are made for people who spend time outside. From wet and windy walking conditions to high alpine environments, the collection includes gloves designed around different levels of exposure and activity.
​
A Heritage of Scandinavian Design
Hestra's Swedish heritage is still central to the brand. Practicality, simplicity and a close relationship with the outdoors are evident throughout the collection.

Understanding the Hestra Glove System
Hestra's approach to hand protection isn't always about finding one glove that does everything. In cold conditions, using a combination of layers can provide greater flexibility and warmth.
​
A lightweight liner can provide a comfortable base layer, while an outer glove or mitt adds insulation, weather protection and durability. This allows you to adapt your handwear to changing activity levels and conditions.
​
We've put together our Hestra Glove Guide to explain the different layers and how you can combine them to help keep your hands warm.
​
Looking After Your Hestra Gloves
A quality pair of Hestra gloves is designed to be used and enjoyed for years, and proper care can help extend their life.
​
Leather gloves in particular benefit from regular conditioning. Hestra leather balm can help protect suitable goat and cowhide leather from moisture and wear, while allowing the gloves to remain supple.
Different materials require different care, so always check the recommendations for your particular glove.
​
