Hestra Oden Nubuck Gloves

Split kindling, hauling wood and camp chores are the work the Hestra Oden Nubuck Gloves are built for. They are unlined cowhide work gloves with a soft, sueded finish and seams stitched to the outside, so you get real protection for your hands while keeping close to a bare-hand feel for detailed tasks.

Why we like it:

The fire-retardant sewing thread is a smart touch for a glove that spends time near a woodstove or campfire.

Features and Functions:

Cow nubuck makes up the whole glove, a hardwearing cowhide with a brushed surface that feels supple from day one. With no lining or insulation, the fit stays thin and precise for gripping an axe handle. Hestra uses a gun cut pattern and outseams so there are no bulky seams across the palm, and the stitching uses fire-retardant thread. A pull tab at the cuff helps you get them on quickly, and an eyelet lets you clip them to a belt loop or pack.

Fit and Sizing:

Close, second-skin fit with no liner taking up room inside. The gun cut pattern and outside seams keep the fingers trim for fine motor work.

Bottom Line:

Best for anyone who splits wood, works around the yard or runs a camp kitchen and wants a leather glove that stays dexterous and holds up to rough use.
