This is a glove that you can trust in terms of gear handling, warmth, and familiarity. When it's new, it may seem a little difficult to maintain, but as you use it, you'll get used to it, so there's no problem. The inner layer is also removable, and when the pile becomes flat, you can replace the inner layer, so you can use it for a long time with love.

A new model made of smooth sheep leather. The insert's waterproof and breathable material ``CZone'' is made for each size, so when you grip the pole, you won't feel any stiffness from the film, and you won't feel any discomfort. It fits perfectly to the natural curve of your fingers and is comfortable. The ribs on the wrist make it easy to fit into the cuff of the garment, and overall it can be said to be a very complete glove.

This is the model that most of our staff have. These thin gloves are great for situations where warm gloves might get a little too hot, such as at the beginning of the season, on the BC Tour, or during spring skiing.
Adopts Ergo Grip. There are special seams at the joints of the fingers, and the grip is designed to feel the closest to a bare hand. Thanks to this, it's very easy to move your fingers in BC scenes where you often work on the snow, or when you're teaching your child how to ski.
It's a popular model that often disappears from stores by the time spring skiing begins in March, so you should get your hands on it while you can. It has excellent heat retention, wind resistance, and waterproof properties, making it easy to work on snow, making it recommended for backcountry use in early spring.

Hiking gloves are essential for backcountry riding. This glove uses a polyester liner, and has a heat retention power that is in the middle of the other lineup (31190 ERGO GRIP ACTIVE WOOL TERRY liner is wool, 32140 ERGO GRIP TACTILITY liner is not included), making it comfortable for a wide range of periods from mid-winter to spring. You can use it.
The palm side is made of goatskin, making it highly durable. The joints of each finger are cut and sewn into a 3D shape that curves inward, giving you a great grip feel. You can do all kinds of work without taking off your gloves. The only disadvantage is that once you use these stress-free gloves, you will have a hard time working with other gloves (lol).

A wool liner version of the Ergo Grip Active, a classic spring glove for backcountry activities. The suppleness and ease of movement of the goat leather on the palm side and the comfort of wool on the inside will make you addicted to it. The fingertips have a shape that makes it easy to work with, so you don't have to take them off while you're on the move, and the wool keeps them from getting stuffy, so they're well made.

Full cowhide leather gloves. The liner is removable. (Only the Almond White model is made of goat leather.)
Some people say that they don't like five-finger gloves because their fingertips feel cold when they're on a snowy mountain for a long time. Power is attractive. The liner is HESTRA's standard five-finger patrol liner. Contains unique polyester filling G-LOFT.

The main body is also coated with Primaloft, and the inner layer is made of wool, so it's very warm, and the leather is very supple, making the poles easy to grip. If the inner wear wears out, you can replace it, and the more you use it, the more it will fit in your hand, the leather will change, and you will grow attached to it.

There are so many designs that I'm having a hard time deciding on one, but it's so warm! The hem is also simple, so it doesn't interfere with the jacket and doesn't move around easily! The price is also reasonable, so you can have several and enjoy coordinating them with your clothes, so fashionable people are rapidly using them.

Even in scenes where the temperature was significantly below zero, my hands didn't feel cold. It is suitable not only for ski slopes, but also for backcountry scenes where various conditions change. Also, the leather is very soft, and it becomes more comfortable in your hand every time you use it. It's nice to apply a good amount of glove oil and see the glove grow.
