Fall Line 5-Finger, Cork

The Fall Line 5-Finger is a warm ski glove from Hestra for freeriders and snowboarders, made for skiers who like off-piste as much as on-piste and don’t mind a short hike. It’s the shorter model, with a neoprene cuff that closes with Velcro and fits smoothly under the sleeve of a shell jacket.

The leather and the liner are what make it last. The shell is impregnated cowhide, sewn with outseams in the palm for comfort and a tighter grip on the pole. A removable synthetic liner is easy to dry and wash, and foam insulation adds warmth and stability. A wrist strap keeps the glove from falling when it’s off the hand, and a carabiner clips the pair to a jacket or a pack. Hestra rates it 5 of 8 for warmth and 6 of 8 for mobility and durability.
