Durable five-finger glove with GORE-TEX membrane that makes it waterproof and highly breathable. Made of durable goatskin with a durable and stretchy softshell backhand.

Our Verdict
The Hestra Alpine Short Gore-Tex Gloves offer a blend of waterproofing, breathability, and durability, making them a solid choice for active winter activities. Weighing 164g for a medium pair, these gloves balance insulation with agility and are well-suited to activities like skiing. The GORE-TEX membrane effectively blocks moisture while allowing for breathability during high-output activities, keeping hands dry even on more strenuous descents.
Constructed with durable goatskin on the palm and a flexible softshell backhand, the Alpine Short gloves excel in both grip and comfort. The Velcro closure around the cuff provides a secure fit, effectively sealing in warmth while keeping snow out. The snug, short cuff style also allows for better wrist movement, fitting comfortably under jacket sleeves.
