Do one thing and do it the best it can be done. That’s Hestra’s tried-and-true glove-making motto, exemplified by the Hestra Army Leather Patrol. The moment you slip into this supple yet durable goat leather glove, you’ll notice how it seamlessly matches the movements of your hands—dexterity is a notable standout. This short-cuffed model retains warmth with a removable five-finger wool liner and compressible G-Loft insulation, which is made of thin polyester fibers that dry quickly and keep heat, even when wet. On the back of the hand, a three-layer fabric offers wind- and water-proofing yet enough breathability to mitigate overheating. With some tender love and care in the form of leather treatment and proper drying, the Hestra Army Leather Patrol is an investment that will last you years.
