Wrist width is adjusted easily with Velcro. It also comes with an attachment for Hestra handcuffs (wrist strap). This glove comes equipped with GORE-TEX which provides complete protection against wetness while allowing moisture to escape. The backhand is made of supple polyester fabric, while the palm and grip surfaces are made of durable PU-coated synthetic fabric.All in all, a truly all-round winter companion that’s ready to head out with you onto the slopes, or wherever your winter plans take you.

Our Verdict

The Hestra Gore-Tex Perform Gloves are ideal for versatile winter use, offering reliable waterproofing and warmth without excess bulk. Featuring a GORE-TEX membrane, these gloves keep your hands dry while allowing moisture to escape, which is essential for dynamic activities in snowy conditions. The backhand is crafted from durable, weather-resistant polyester, and the PU-coated synthetic palm delivers a secure grip—perfect for everything from handling ski poles to general winter chores.

The brushed polyester liner and fibre-fill insulation provide solid warmth, while the high cuff and drawstring keep out snow. With Velcro wrist adjustments and a wrist strap attachment, they’re designed to stay put even in demanding conditions. Pre-curved fingers offer a more natural hand position that reduces fatigue when worn for long periods. These gloves are machine-washable, which keeps maintenance simple after those heavy-use days.
