Hestra Alpine Mission Gore-Tex Gloves

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

A durable, warm and waterproof glove built for tough conditions. The Alpine Mission provides loads of protection and warmth in a practical and hard wearing glove that is ideal for wearing in the mountains this winter.

Montane says

The Alpine Mission Glove is a versatile, warm and waterproof mountaineering glove that combines excellent protection and dexterity. Articulated fingers give a secure grip on equipment while the goat leather full hand protection ensures durability for technical mountain use, single-handed drawcord closure easily seals out the elements.

Our Verdict

Montane’s Alpine Mission Gore-Tex Gloves give you all the protection and warmth you would want in a glove. Tough, hard wearing materials provide the base for a solid glove that works well with ropes, axes and other kit you need in the mountains. A good amount of Primaloft Gold Insulation combined with pile fleece inner linings make these toasty warm and comfortable.

They have all the additional features you’d expect from a quality glove like this with a wrist leash, hang loops, cinch toggle on the gauntlet and serious reinforcements where required. Although they feel a bit chunky for dealing with more intricate tasks like adjusting guy lines they work well for most tasks in winter conditions.
