Hestra Army Leather Gore-Tex 5 Finger Black

The Hestra Army Leather GORE-TEX 5 Finger Black is a waterproof alpine glove with a high cuff for skiing and snowboarding in changeable weather. Its five-finger shape keeps equipment handling straightforward, while the longer opening gives you more overlap with a shell jacket. The pre-curved Eagle Grip construction is intended to support a natural gripping position, useful when holding a pole or working with binding straps rather than keeping the hand flat all day.

The outer combines treated goatskin and recycled polyamide fabric. Leather covers the palm and fingers, where repeated contact with equipment calls for a durable gripping surface. The textile backhand provides a different balance of flexibility and weather protection. A GORE-TEX membrane forms the waterproof barrier, distinguishing this model from the classic Army Leather Heli Ski without a waterproof membrane. That difference matters when wet snowfall is a regular part of your day. No membrane removes the need to manage sweat during strenuous movement.

A Bemberg fleece lining with G-Loft insulation provides the warm interior. The upper cuff closes with a drawstring snowlock, and the wrist adjusts independently with a hook-and-loop strap. That separation lets you secure the hand without overtightening the sleeve opening. Wrist straps and a carabiner are included, with attachment details for hanging or retaining the gloves when you remove them. Choose this version when you want the leather gripping surface, a long cuff and waterproof protection in one construction, and allow the interior to dry between riding days.

Choose room around the fingertips rather than a tight, stretched fit. Close your hand around a pole or a binding strap: the insulation should not feel flattened and the cuff should stay comfortable. Try the gloves with your own jacket sleeves, because the overlap matters when you reach forward. An extra liner takes up space, so check the complete combination before choosing a size. Warmth also depends on circulation, activity and moisture; a glove cannot promise the same comfort in every temperature.

For leather care and drying, follow the label and use a treatment suitable for the leather. Let the shell air dry away from radiators and other direct heat. Open the cuffs to let the inside air out, and follow the washing instructions for the complete construction. Regularly checking the palm, seams and cuff helps you spot wear before a trip. A dry liner and supple outer are more useful than adding layers that make the fit too tight.
