{"product_id":"hestra-powder-short","title":"Hestra Powder Short","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Hestra Powder Short 5-finger is the Powder Gauntlet with the cuff turned around: the same warm, goat-leather-palmed resort glove, worn under the jacket sleeve rather than over it. Hestra's Performance spec states the trade plainly. Warmth 4\/8, Mobility 6\/8, Waterproof: No. There is no membrane in it, and Hestra says so in its own spec panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eGoat leather palm, Niak polyester backhand\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe palm and fingers are impregnated goat leather, the backhand Hestra's own Niak polyester. Goatskin is thin and supple, which is how one glove rates 6\/8 Agile and 5\/8 Durable at once. Inside are synthetic fiberfill insulation and a removable brushed-polyester microfleece liner. The cuff closes with a Velcro strap at the inside wrist, plus attachments for handcuffs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWarmth and weather: windproof, not waterproof\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHestra rates the glove 4\/8 on its eight-point warmth scale: \"Very warm — balanced warmth for everyday cold-weather use.\" The badge Hestra prints is Windproof, and that one holds. Waterproof does not. The structured Performance spec reads: \"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, in Hestra's own words a \"weather-resistant polyester\". The Niak backhand blocks wind and sheds snow; what it does not do is stop water in sustained wet, because without a membrane behind it the shell wets out and moisture reaches the hand. Hestra's answer to that is a liner that comes out and dries overnight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFit and sizing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHestra sizes gloves by hand circumference, a number rather than S\/M\/L, and the wrong number is the most common reason a glove comes back. Hestra's webshop lists sizes 6 to 11 in Black and in Navy, an identical run, so the colour does not change the sizes on offer. PTO stocks 7, 8, 9 and 10 in each of those two colours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho it's for, and who should look elsewhere\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt fits a resort skier who wears gloves under the jacket cuff and wants leather and dexterity at $100, on cold, dry-to-normal snow. It does not fit sustained wet: the CZone Mountain 5-finger at $125 is the membrane glove in the same range, with Waterproof: Yes and Warmth 6\/8 Insulated, and it gives up a step of dexterity (5\/8 Flexible). If the problem is snow up the sleeve rather than rain, the Powder Gauntlet 5-finger is the same $100 glove on identical ratings, with a long cuff and an elastic drawstring worn over the jacket.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hestra","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ 6","offer_id":51449711952167,"sku":"3002800-100-06","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ 7","offer_id":51449711984935,"sku":"3002800-100-07","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ 8","offer_id":51449712017703,"sku":"3002800-100-08","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ 9","offer_id":51449712050471,"sku":"3002800-100-09","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ 10","offer_id":51449712083239,"sku":"3002800-100-10","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ 11","offer_id":51449712116007,"sku":"3002800-100-11","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Navy \/ 6","offer_id":51449711558951,"sku":"3002800-280-06","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Navy \/ 7","offer_id":51449711591719,"sku":"3002800-280-07","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Navy \/ 8","offer_id":51449711624487,"sku":"3002800-280-08","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Navy \/ 9","offer_id":51449711657255,"sku":"3002800-280-09","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Navy \/ 10","offer_id":51449711690023,"sku":"3002800-280-10","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Navy \/ 11","offer_id":51449711722791,"sku":"3002800-280-11","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/7177\/0663\/files\/1776025658602-3002800-100_1_Meta_d912cb31-22dc-42ea-bf8a-f0252ec2fe2b.jpg?v=1780401792","url":"https:\/\/933534.myshopify.com\/products\/hestra-powder-short","provider":"PTO SKI \u0026 Snowboard","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
