Hestra Army Leather Couloir Glove - Men's reviews and deals for sale

Disappointing...

I bought these gloves for mild weather resort snowboarding / side-country / some backcountry. I have a high end pair of Hestra heli gloves (OutDry) for colder resort conditions and colder backcountry and hoped to wear these on warmer resorts days. My hands sweat easily once I get moving and I figured the lighter profile of the glove would work better. These gloves offer decent insulation,… read more I wore them comfortably from 20F-32F. They were too warm and sweating became a problem at >32F when I was moving. Below 20F there isn't enough there in the fingers if you're sitting on chair... My main critique of the glove is that despite waterproofing them a few times with the Hestra balm the palm is soaking through after a 1/2 day of riding. Right where my jacket cuff meets the palm. And it spreads from there. I just came back from Wyoming and the weather turned a bit warmer (25F-35F) with heavy wet snow at lower elevations and some fresh snow every day. The gloves were soaked by lunch each day and I had to swap them out for afternoon riding. Maybe this would be better if I had a ski pole in my hand? When I used them on crisper blue-bird days this was less of an issue. I enjoyed using them snowshoeing. I'd maybe recommend them for mild dry days but overall they haven't lived up to my expectation.
