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 Mitts are a solid choice for those prioritising warmth and weather protection in winter. These mitts incorporate a GORE-TEX membrane, making them waterproof and breathable, essential for keeping hands dry on snowy hikes or alpine adventures. The durable polyester backhand and PU Grip synthetic palm provide a firm, weather-resistant grip. At the same time, the fibre-fill insulation and fleece liner offer decent warmth for most winter conditions without feeling overly bulky.

A high cuff with an adjustable drawstring keeps snow out effectively, and Velcro adjustments at the wrist ensure a secure fit. For added practicality, these mitts are machine-washable and come with Hestra’s handcuff attachment, helping to prevent accidental loss. The mitts are also designed with pre-curved fingers, offering a more natural hand position that reduces fatigue when worn for long periods.
