{"product_id":"hestra-army-leather-extreme-mitt","title":"Hestra Army Leather Extreme Mitt","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Hestra Army Leather Extreme Mitt sits at the top of Hestra's warmth scale — 8\/8, \"Expedition\" — and at the bottom of its mobility scale, 1\/8, \"Restrictive.\" Those are Hestra's own ratings — one fact stated twice: this mitt buys maximum warmth with your dexterity. It has no waterproof membrane.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFabric and construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe palm is Army goat leather, Hestra's proofed goatskin; durability is rated 7\/8, \"Heavy duty.\" The backhand is Flextron softshell, a 4-way stretch of 92% polyamide and 8% elastane, which Hestra calls wind and water resistant. The removable liner puts G-Loft insulation over brushed Bemberg fleece; Hestra says G-Loft keeps insulating even when wet. Features, all sealing heat in: snow lock, wrist adjustment with duckbill, elastic at wrist, handcuffs, carabiner, removable lining.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWarmth and weather\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWarmth is 8\/8. Hestra defines \"Expedition\" as maximum thermal protection for the most demanding expeditions; its examples are low-output, long-exposure cold: dog sledding, long snowmobile days. This is a mitt for being cold a long time, not for working hard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHestra's structured performance data records \u003cstrong\u003eWaterproof: No\u003c\/strong\u003e: the glove \"does not include a waterproof membrane\" and \"is not designed to keep hands dry in sustained wet conditions.\" No GORE-TEX, no CZone insert. What you get is water resistance — proofed leather, a water-resistant softshell. No membrane cuts both ways: nothing blocks vapour going out, nothing blocks water coming in. It sheds cold, dry snow all day. It will wet through in warm, wet snow or rain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFit and sizing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHestra sizes by hand circumference, measured around the widest part of the palm. Hestra's caveat: \"the recommended size is an indication. Hands vary.\" Hestra publishes no measurement chart for this model, so if you are between sizes, try it on — insulation only works with room to loft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePTO stocks one colourway, Black (art. 35164-100100), in sizes 7 through 10. Hestra catalogues it 6 to 11; those four are what we bought. One colour, so every size we list comes in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho it is for, and who should not buy it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBuy it if your hands run cold in genuinely cold, dry conditions and your fingers are not doing much: a deep cold snap on the lifts, sledding, snowmobiling, or if a normal ski glove has already failed you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSkip it if you need your fingers. Mobility 1\/8 is Hestra's number: buckles, zippers and phones are all harder in a mitt this insulated. Skip it for wet coastal snow: sustained wet is the one condition it is not built for. For Army Leather durability with a real waterproof membrane, look at the Hestra Army Leather GORE-TEX: same goat leather palm, GORE-TEX insert behind it. And if you ski hot, this is too much mitt.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hestra","offers":[{"title":"Blk\/Blk \/ 6","offer_id":51449637503271,"sku":"35164-100100-06","price":210.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blk\/Blk \/ 7","offer_id":51449637536039,"sku":"35164-100100-07","price":210.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blk\/Blk \/ 8","offer_id":51449637568807,"sku":"35164-100100-08","price":210.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blk\/Blk \/ 9","offer_id":51449637601575,"sku":"35164-100100-09","price":210.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blk\/Blk \/ 10","offer_id":51449637634343,"sku":"35164-100100-10","price":210.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blk\/Blk \/ 11","offer_id":51449637667111,"sku":"35164-100100-11","price":210.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/7177\/0663\/files\/35164-100100-Large.png?v=1783891762","url":"https:\/\/933534.myshopify.com\/products\/hestra-army-leather-extreme-mitt","provider":"PTO SKI \u0026 Snowboard","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
