{"product_id":"hestra-womens-patrol-gauntlet-mitt","title":"Hestra Women's Patrol Gauntlet Mitt","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Hestra Women's Patrol Gauntlet Mitt is a women's-fit ski mitten on an Army goat leather palm and a softshell backhand, insulated with G-Loft over a removable liner. It is the Patrol Gauntlet with the fingers in one chamber, and Hestra's spec sheet prices that decision exactly: warmth climbs from 6\/8 to 8\/8, mobility drops from 6\/8 to 3\/8. This is the warm one, and Hestra rates it \u003cstrong\u003eWaterproof: No\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eArmy leather palm, softshell back\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe palm is Army goat leather. The backhand is a three-layer dobby polyester melange softshell, 97% polyester and 3% elastane, so the leather takes abrasion and the back of the hand stretches. Insulation is G-Loft, which Hestra rates as insulating even when wet. Durability is 6\/8, \"Rugged\". The Bemberg liner is removable: pull it to dry, or swap a thinner one for touring. Gauntlet cuff with snow lock, wrist strap, handcuffs, carabiner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWarmth 8\/8, and no membrane\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHestra rates warmth 8\/8, \"Expedition\" — the top of their eight-point scale. A mitten traps more air than a glove, so the fingers share heat instead of each shedding it alone. Mobility falls to 3\/8: basic grip and handling. You do not get both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater is the cost. Hestra's structured spec reads Waterproof: No: \"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.\" Hestra calls the outer material weather-resistant. That is the ceiling: rain or heavy wet snow will find its way through leather and seams. Buy this for cold, not for wet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFit and sizing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cut is slimmer than the men's, for a narrower hand. Hestra sizes by hand circumference at the widest part of the palm, and calls that an indication only: hands vary, and some models fit tighter. Hestra lists sizes 5 through 9. PTO stocks 6, 7 and 8, all three sizes in all three colourways: Navy, Mauve and Light Grey. No colour is short a size.\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 lift-served days in deep winter. Do not buy it if you need your hands to work: at 3\/8 mobility you will pull it off for a binding or a zip. The Women's Patrol Gauntlet in five-finger form is the same leather and the same insulation, rated 6\/8 \"Insulated\" and 6\/8 \"Agile\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd if you ski a wet snowpack, buy a membrane. Hestra's CZone Mountain Mitt reads Waterproof: Yes on a CZone membrane at 7\/8 warmth; the Army Leather GORE-TEX carries a GORE-TEX membrane. Both are unisex cuts, so the trade is this women's fit for the membrane.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hestra","offers":[{"title":"Navy \/ 5","offer_id":51449610830119,"sku":"30601-280-05","price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Navy \/ 6","offer_id":51449610862887,"sku":"30601-280-06","price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Navy \/ 7","offer_id":51449610895655,"sku":"30601-280-07","price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Navy \/ 8","offer_id":51449610928423,"sku":"30601-280-08","price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Navy \/ 9","offer_id":51449610961191,"sku":"30601-280-09","price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Mauve \/ 5","offer_id":51449610666279,"sku":"30601-923-05","price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Mauve \/ 6","offer_id":51449610699047,"sku":"30601-923-06","price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Mauve \/ 7","offer_id":51449610731815,"sku":"30601-923-07","price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Mauve \/ 8","offer_id":51449610764583,"sku":"30601-923-08","price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Mauve \/ 9","offer_id":51449610797351,"sku":"30601-923-09","price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light Grey \/ 5","offer_id":51449610502439,"sku":"30601-320-05","price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light Grey \/ 6","offer_id":51449610535207,"sku":"30601-320-06","price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light Grey \/ 7","offer_id":51449610567975,"sku":"30601-320-07","price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light Grey \/ 8","offer_id":51449610600743,"sku":"30601-320-08","price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light Grey \/ 9","offer_id":51449610633511,"sku":"30601-320-09","price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/7177\/0663\/files\/1776176851665-30601-280_1_Meta.jpg?v=1780398632","url":"https:\/\/933534.myshopify.com\/products\/hestra-womens-patrol-gauntlet-mitt","provider":"PTO SKI \u0026 Snowboard","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
