{"product_id":"hestra-patrol-jr","title":"Hestra Patrol Jr","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Hestra Patrol Jr is a junior five-finger ski glove: an impregnated goat-leather palm, a three-layer Ventus backhand and a removable G-Loft liner. It has no waterproof membrane. What it buys is grip, insulation and durability — not protection from sustained wet snow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFabric and construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe palm is impregnated goat leather — what survives lift bars and poles. The backhand is HESTRA Ventus, which Hestra's specification describes as a three-layer polyester-blend fabric, windproof and breathable: the back of the hand blocks wind, the palm takes the abrasion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside is a removable liner — G-Loft polyester insulation with a Bemberg lining. Because it pulls out, the liner can be dried separately from the shell. A Velcro cuff closure and a puller let a child cinch it unaided; Hestra Handcuffs are on the spec, not just attachment points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWarmth and weather\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHestra rates warmth on an eight-point scale, 1 (Light) to 8 (Expedition), but publishes no figure for this style, so none is quoted here. On the spec: G-Loft insulation behind a windproof backhand, aimed at cold, dry, packed snow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has no waterproof membrane. Hestra names the insert on the gloves that have one — CZone, or GORE-TEX; this glove's specification names none. The ceiling for a glove built that way is water-resistant: nothing in it is engineered to keep hands dry through a day of slush. In heavy coastal snow it will wet out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFit and sizing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHestra's junior scale runs 3 to 7. PTO stocks 5, 6 and 7 — both colourways, Navy and Fuschia, in all three sizes, so no size is locked to one colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom Hestra's size guide: junior gloves are sized by age rather than hand circumference, and Hestra publishes no chart for this style, so none is printed here. Junior size 7 and unisex size 7 are not the same glove: juniors run on a separate sizing scale, so a parent's own Hestra number does not carry across.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho it is for, and who should not buy it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt suits a child who is hard on gear, skis mostly in cold snow, and needs a glove to last more than one winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSkip it if your child skis in persistently wet snow; buy a membrane instead. Hestra's Ferox CZone Jr is specified with a CZone membrane — this glove is not. If the problem is cold fingers rather than wet ones, the Patrol Jr Mitt is the mitt version of this glove, same Ventus backhand and goat-leather palm: a mitt holds the fingers in one chamber where they share heat, and what makes it warm makes it clumsy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hestra","offers":[{"title":"Fuschia \/ 3","offer_id":51449853215015,"sku":"3004830-930-03","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fuschia \/ 4","offer_id":51449853247783,"sku":"3004830-930-04","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fuschia \/ 5","offer_id":51449853280551,"sku":"3004830-930-05","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fuschia \/ 6","offer_id":51449853313319,"sku":"3004830-930-06","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fuschia \/ 7","offer_id":51449853346087,"sku":"3004830-930-07","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Navy \/ 3","offer_id":51449853051175,"sku":"3004830-280-03","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Navy \/ 4","offer_id":51449853083943,"sku":"3004830-280-04","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Navy \/ 5","offer_id":51449853116711,"sku":"3004830-280-05","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Navy \/ 6","offer_id":51449853149479,"sku":"3004830-280-06","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Navy \/ 7","offer_id":51449853182247,"sku":"3004830-280-07","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/7177\/0663\/files\/3004830-930-Large.png?v=1783891757","url":"https:\/\/933534.myshopify.com\/products\/hestra-patrol-jr","provider":"PTO SKI \u0026 Snowboard","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
