Part of the Alpine Pro collection the Hestra Patrol Gauntlet Women's Mittens are a warm mitten for women looking for a reliably warm mitten for skiing and snowboarding. Designed for women's slightly narrower hands and made of durable goat leather and weather resistant softshell fabric this is the perfect mitten for powder snow with a long collar and a drawstring to keep snow out, warmth in. The Patrol Gauntlet has a removable Bemberg polyester fleece liner which means you can pop a heat pack in between the shell and the liner on a cold day and enjoy the warmth without the heat pack touching your skin, and at the end of the day, you can pull your liner out, allowing any residual moisture to evaporate overnight, giving you fresh, dry, mittens in the morning. The removable liner also gives you the flexibility to pull it out and replace it with a lighter liner for ski touring, or a puffier one (sold separately) if you’re living in particularly bitter cold. Fit with a carabiner for clipping to your pack so you’re not stuffing damp mitts in with your other gear, and the all important Hestra Handcuffs to securing the mitts around your wrists so you don’t accidentally drop them, either into a snowbank or off a lift, these are a goatskin palm for long wear paired with Hestra 3-layer dobby polyester mÉlange, pre-articulated curves in the fingers make pole grasping easier0 they’re a classic pair of skier’s mittens built for durability, warmth, and versatility. A long-time favorite with good reason.
