Hestra Army Leather Heli Ski Jr. Glove 26/27

The Hestra Army Leather Heli Ski Jr. Glove is the kids' version of the glove Hestra first built for Canadian ski guides who needed something warm and reliable for long, cold days. Like the adult glove, it is sewn in hardwearing goatskin with weather-resistant 3-layer polyamide.

Inside is a removable fleece liner with warming G-loft synthetic insulation. A five-finger glove lets kids grab poles, zippers and lift bars easily, but it is not as warm as a mitten, so for kids who always come in with cold hands the Jr. Mitt is the warmer choice.

It is made for kids who ski every chance they get, in the woods, on the groomers or in the park. If your skier only gets out a few times a season, a simpler glove may be all they need.

A wrist strap keeps the glove from getting lost when it comes off on the lift to fix goggles, and an eyelet and finger loop let you hang it up to dry. It comes in junior sizes for growing hands.

We love the Heli Ski Jr. for young rippers who are hard on gear and want the same tough glove their parents trust all season long.
