The Full Review:
I bought these gloves off of recommendations from my fellow co-workers. I didn't know too much about Hestra the brand but I have not been disappointed. The first great thing is they offer numbered sizing and thus more options compared to the standard traditional S-XL. This allows you to get a pair that fit just right.
Secondly, these gloves are full featured and come with Hestra's CZone membrane to keep the water and wind out. I have used these multiple days now for snowboarding and hiking in the snow and my hands stay dry, warm, and toasty inside. For those really cold days, or if you have cold hands, they have a pocket you can drop hand warmers into. It's nice to have that versatility.
Two other features worth shouting out are the large pull tabs for getting them on and the cinch located just under the edge of the cuff for keeping snow and debris out. The cinch is easy to use one-handed for getting them on and off.
For $100 these are great. You could easily pay more and not get this level of quality.
The Good:
Warm and comfortable.
Pocket that accommodates a hand warmer for those extra cold days.
Durable.
The Bad:
None.
The Bottom Line:
Warm and comfy glove that is durable and will last a long time with proper care.
