Is the Hestra Heli glove waterproof?

The backhand is a waterproof, breathable 3-layer polyamide fabric, and the palm and fingers are impregnated goat leather. Seams and leather need care over time to keep water out.

Can the liner be removed?

Yes. The Bemberg fleece liner with G-loft insulation is removable, so you can pull it out to dry or swap it.

How does it compare with Hestra's Army Leather Heli Ski?

Both share the long cuff and removable liner. The Heli uses a fabric backhand with leather palm, while the Army Leather Heli Ski uses more leather across the glove for more durability and weight.

What is included in the box?

The gloves come with wrist strap handcuffs.

Is it warm enough for very cold days?

The G-loft liner handles typical resort and powder days. In extreme cold or for people who run cold, a heavier insulated glove is a better fit.

How should I care for the leather?

Treat the goat leather with a leather balm regularly and dry the gloves away from direct heat to keep them supple.
