Hestras last forever !!

Still using my 20 year old Hestras, though I own newer pairs...

The black and white Hestras are about as warm as a witch's tit and look like crap in two years.

My Dakine gloves lasted 5 - 60 day years and only recently developed a hole. Best glove ever until I lost one last weekend

I think Hestra are extremely overrated for what they cost.

I have their Army Leather Heli Ski model and I don't find them particularly warm at all. I have a set of $40 Gordini that I bought at TJ Maxx as a backup glove and they're honestly warmer than the Hestras I spent North of $100 for.

Ultra cold days I use a Free the Powder lobster claw mit

I'll pack out any glove in 1-2 seasons, and split the seams in 4 seasons. Hestra, Black Diamond, Free The Powder are all good choices.

Kinco's with a layer or 2 of snoseal and for me atleast, a medium thickness glove liner, and I am good to go, and they last a good long time. You don't see a bunch of lifties, patrollers, instructors and various other on the hill employees wearing them because they don't cost tons of $$

Outdoor Research - Alti gloves or mittens are what many folks wear when they summit Everest. I rarely ever wear the liners, I just wear the outer shell on all days above 0, so they don’t get ‘packed out’.

They go in and out of stock depending on the time of year. Might need to have a shop special order them too, these are not commonly stocked.
