{"product_id":"hestra-merino-wool-liner-active","title":"Hestra Merino Wool Liner Active","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Hestra Merino Wool Liner Active is a thin merino-blend glove liner built to be worn \u003cem\u003eunder\u003c\/em\u003e a ski glove, not instead of one. Hestra's own performance block puts it at Warmth 2\/8 (\"Moderate\"), Mobility 8\/8 (\"Second skin\"), Durability 2\/8 (\"Light use\"), and answers Waterproof with a flat \"No.\" Those four ratings are one fact seen from four sides: the fabric is thin. Thin is what buys the dexterity. Thin is also what costs the weather protection and the abrasion life. That is a trade-off, and a trade-off is physics, not an opinion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFabric and construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHestra's spec sheet lists the outer as a 70% merino wool \/ 30% nylon tricot at 160 g\/m². The blend does two jobs. Merino keeps working when it is damp — Hestra's words are \"warming even when damp\" — which matters in a layer that sits against skin and collects sweat all day. The nylon is there for wear life, and Hestra credits the synthetic with adding \"extra durability.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe official feature list is exactly two items long: machine washable, and a puller at the cuff. That is the entire list. No membrane, no insulation package, no touchscreen print.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWarmth and weather\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWarmth is rated 2 out of 8. Hestra defines that level as \"Minimal lining for cool conditions or high-exertion use.\" Worn alone, that is a cool-day, high-output glove: skinning, the walk from the car, shoulder season. Alone, it is not a cold-chairlift glove.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn water, Hestra is unambiguous. The Waterproof row on the official product page reads \"No,\" and the explanation printed beside it is: \"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.\" Water-resistant is the ceiling. There is no CZone insert and no GORE-TEX insert in this liner, and Hestra makes no windproof claim for it either. Any listing that calls this liner waterproof is wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFit and sizing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHestra sizes by hand circumference, measured around the widest part of the palm. On the chart published with this product the sizes land almost exactly on inches: size 6 = 152 mm (5.98 in), size 7 = 178 mm (7.01 in), size 8 = 203 mm (7.99 in), size 9 = 229 mm (9.02 in). Hestra adds that \"the recommended size is an indication. Hands vary, and some models have a tighter fit than others.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePTO stocks one colourway, Charcoal (art. 34110-390), in sizes 6, 7, 8 and 9. There is only the one colour, so there is no size-by-colour split to sort out. One practical note: a liner has to fit inside your glove as well as on your hand. If your outer glove already fits close, a layer inside it will fit closer.\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 already own a ski glove and want a layer to extend its range, or if you want a close, light glove for boot buckles, skin-track transitions and the walk to the lift, where Mobility 8\/8 is worth more to you than insulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo not buy it as your only glove if the job is keeping hands dry. That is a membrane's job, and it means a Hestra model built on a CZone or GORE-TEX insert; this liner has neither. Do not buy it as a hard-wearing standalone glove either: Durability 2\/8 is what Hestra calls \"Light use,\" defined as \"gentle everyday wear with minimal abrasion,\" and that is not a rating that survives daily pole grips. And if you want to work a phone without pulling the liner off, Hestra does not list touchscreen compatibility for this model; its Merino Wool Liner Long does.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hestra","offers":[{"title":"Charcoal \/ 3","offer_id":51449875988775,"sku":"34110-390-03","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Charcoal \/ 4","offer_id":51449876021543,"sku":"34110-390-04","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Charcoal \/ 5","offer_id":51449876054311,"sku":"34110-390-05","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Charcoal \/ 6","offer_id":51449873269031,"sku":"34110-390-06","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Charcoal \/ 7","offer_id":51449873301799,"sku":"34110-390-07","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Charcoal \/ 8","offer_id":51449873334567,"sku":"34110-390-08","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Charcoal \/ 9","offer_id":51449873367335,"sku":"34110-390-09","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Charcoal \/ 10","offer_id":51449873400103,"sku":"34110-390-10","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Charcoal \/ 11","offer_id":51449873432871,"sku":"34110-390-11","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/7177\/0663\/files\/1776177665335-34110-390_1_Meta.jpg?v=1780408348","url":"https:\/\/933534.myshopify.com\/products\/hestra-merino-wool-liner-active","provider":"PTO SKI \u0026 Snowboard","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
