{"product_id":"hestra-army-leather-patrol-mitt","title":"Hestra Army Leather Patrol Mitt","description":"\u003cp\u003eHestra rates this mitt 7\/8 for warmth — its word for that level is \"Extreme\" — and rates it \"No\" for waterproof. It is a warmth-first leather mitt with no waterproof membrane, and Hestra says so in writing. $175.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFabric, and the missing membrane\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePalm and exposed surfaces are impregnated Army goat leather. The backhand is a three-layer Hestra dobby polyester melange — 97% polyester, 3% elastane — which Hestra calls a \"flexible and weather resistant softshell fabric.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeather resistant is the ceiling word. Hestra states the limit plainly: \"The glove does not include a waterproof membrane. It may offer water resistance from its outer material but is not designed to keep hands dry in sustained wet conditions.\" That resistance is an impregnation — a surface treatment on the leather, which wears and needs renewing with balm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWarmth, and what the mitt shell costs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWarmth is 7\/8, \"Extreme\", and the shape is where it comes from: four fingers share one chamber and warm each other. The G-Loft insulation sits in a removable brushed-polyester liner that pulls out to dry overnight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cost is rated, not arguable. Mobility is 3\/8, \"Moderate\", the lowest of this mitt's four scores; durability is 6\/8, \"Rugged\". Buckles, zips and phones all get harder. The five-finger Army Leather Patrol is the same $175 at 5\/8 warmth and 6\/8 mobility — same leather, same money, same missing membrane. You are not paying for the mitt shape, you are choosing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFit and sizing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHestra sizes by hand circumference in numbers, never S\/M\/L. Size coverage is not equal across our two colours: PTO stocks Navy in 7 to 10 and Charcoal in 8 to 10, so size 7 is available in Navy only. The cuff is a short neoprene collar with a Velcro strap, made to sit inside the jacket sleeve — not a gauntlet, so snow control passes to your jacket cuff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho it is for, and who should not buy it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuy it if you run cold and ski cold, dry snow — mid-winter resort days, long static exposure — and you will keep treating the leather. Do not buy it if you want a waterproof glove: for wet coastal snow Hestra's CZone Mountain Mitt carries a real membrane at $125, and for Army leather with a membrane the Army Leather GORE-TEX is $230. And if you need to work a buckle without pulling a mitt off, take the five-finger Patrol.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hestra","offers":[{"title":"Charcoal \/ 6","offer_id":51449615548711,"sku":"30591-390-06","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Charcoal \/ 7","offer_id":51449615581479,"sku":"30591-390-07","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Charcoal \/ 8","offer_id":51449615614247,"sku":"30591-390-08","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Charcoal \/ 9","offer_id":51449615647015,"sku":"30591-390-09","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Charcoal \/ 10","offer_id":51449615515943,"sku":"30591-390-10","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Charcoal \/ 11","offer_id":51449616924967,"sku":"30591-390-11","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Navy \/ 6","offer_id":51449615384871,"sku":"30591-280-06","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Navy \/ 7","offer_id":51449615417639,"sku":"30591-280-07","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Navy \/ 8","offer_id":51449615450407,"sku":"30591-280-08","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Navy \/ 9","offer_id":51449615483175,"sku":"30591-280-09","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Navy \/ 10","offer_id":51449615352103,"sku":"30591-280-10","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Navy \/ 11","offer_id":51449616957735,"sku":"30591-280-11","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/7177\/0663\/files\/1776176779502-30591-390_1_Meta.jpg?v=1780399320","url":"https:\/\/933534.myshopify.com\/products\/hestra-army-leather-patrol-mitt","provider":"PTO SKI \u0026 Snowboard","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
