Review on Hestra Handcuffs Black Red 8 11 by Fred Maki

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not as good as factory Hestra cuffs

Delivered on time, well packaged, all as described. However, I am trying to replace my favorite Henrik Winstedt Pro gloves with stolen Hestra gloves. The HW pros are more or less a thing of the past so I bought the current full leather glove from Hestra with the little metal wrist straps and then bought those cuffs separately. Disappointed 2 design features: 1) The leash is not very long. You have to remember how to handcuff to maximize the length of the leash, which is annoying. 2) The cuffs are much wider (about 2 or 3 times wider) than those designed/built into the Henrik Winstedt Pro. They tend to mix/interfere with the sleeves of my base layer, the insulation layer, and between the jacket and glove itself. The Hestra HW Pro's flatter, more elasticated cuffs are easy to slip on and blend better with all other layers. All in all, I'm very happy that I have leashes and don't risk losing my gloves when sitting on a chair or dropping my gloves in the snow for quick fine motor skills. But still missing my previous higher quality Hestra product. :/
