Review on ๐Ÿงค Hestra Men's Women's Ski Gloves by Chris Laznovsky

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Liners, tight thumbs, roomy gloves

. The gloves sent to me were size XXL/11 and the outer shell is quite roomy but the liner fits snugly around the thumb; just right for me, but i'm shorter than very tall. One of the features are the handcuffs: these are elastic bands that attach to the mittens, so when you remove the mittens they are still attached to the bands. For leather palms, they recommend moisturizing them regularly and then applying Hestra Skin Balm with a soft cloth https://smile.amazon.com/Hestra-Gloves-91700-000-Leather-Balm-Original/dp/B00HH33N8O/ on the Amazon page differs from the balm sample that came with the gloves; the sample contains sunflower oil, beeswax, lanolin, carnauba wax, coconut oil, tea tree oil, peppermint oil, glycerin). Balm on non-leather fabric. (I'm not sure I would trust polyunsaturated oils on my skin; I won't use Hestra skin balm). Mittens can be combined with different linings because the lining is Velcro; The supplied lining is polyester insulation. Velcro is on 2 sides, fluffy and the second with hooks that catch curly fur; The liner has a velcro closure with hooks and if you toss it in the wash the velcro hooks will clog up with loose threads requiring it to be hand washed separately. You can find more balaclavas on the hestragloves website: [.] (where I found the following balaclava descriptions) #34071 Insulated Liner Long: https://smile.amazon.com/Hestra-Insulated-Liner-Long-Mitt/dp/ Liner B00GP1JX8I/A, which can be combined with many different models, such as B. 30571 Army Leather Heli Ski Mitt [pending]. INSULATION Wadding/polyester. LINING Bemberg/polyester FEATURES Velcro fastening. #34161 Primaloft Extreme Lining: https://smile.amazon.com/Hestra-Primaloft-Extreme-Liner-Black/dp/B00FMX7S00/ Multi-layer Primaloft lining for very cold days. Can be combined with a wash mitt, e.g. B. Item no. no 35111, 35811 or 35901. [Not 30571?] OUTER Windproof, waterproof and breathable polyamide ripstop. Machine washable. INSULATION Polyester Primaloft. LINING Polyester. Won't the Extreme Liner be too big for these gloves?
