Our Verdict
The Hestra Army Leather Gore-Tex Mitts, offer robust weather protection and warmth for winter pursuits. With a waterproof Gore-Tex membrane, these mitts seal out moisture while staying breathable, making them suitable for wet, snowy conditions. They feature a durable polyester backhand and a grippy synthetic palm, built to withstand rugged use on the slopes or trails. The high cuff with an adjustable drawstring provides additional coverage, keeping snow out while offering a secure fit.
While these mitts are insulated with synthetic fill, they’re not heavily padded, so adding a liner could be beneficial for extreme cold. A thoughtful addition is the included tube of waterproofing wax, which helps extend the life of the leather over time. Overall, these mitts balance warmth, durability, and skill, making them an excellent choice for skiers and winter adventurers.
