Hestra Heli Insulated Gloves vs The North Face Sierra Etip Gloves

The Hestra Heli is the real ski glove: goat leather palm, a removable G-Loft liner, a long cuff with a snowlock, and a handcuff leash. It is warmer and far more durable than the Sierra Etip, and owners treat it as a multi-season glove. The North Face Sierra Etip is a fleece glove with touchscreen fingertips, a silicone palm print and a pairing clip. It is lighter, softer and easier to wear on its own, but it is not waterproof and will wear through faster on rope tows and poles. Buy the Hestra for cold lift-served days and the Sierra Etip for mild days, walking and phone use.

• Choose the Hestra Heli if you ski or ride in cold, wet conditions and want a leather-palmed glove that lasts several seasons.
• Choose the North Face Sierra Etip if you want a soft, light fleece glove for mild days, around town or for using a touchscreen without taking it off.
