Fall Line 5-Finger, Black

The Fall Line 5-Finger is a Hestra ski glove for freeriding and snowboarding, for skiers who are as happy off-piste as on it and will hike for a line. This is the shorter model: the neoprene cuff closes with Velcro and slides under a shell jacket’s sleeve.

Its strength is in the leather and the liner. Impregnated cowhide is sewn with outseams in the palm, which feel better and grip the pole tighter. The synthetic liner comes out to dry and wash, and foam insulation adds warmth and stability. A wrist strap keeps a glove from dropping in the snow while the hand is out, and a carabiner hangs the pair from a jacket or a pack. Hestra rates it 5 of 8 for warmth and 6 of 8 for mobility and durability. Shown in Black.
