The Army Leather Heli Ski 5 Finger is for skiers and riders who spend full days outside, whether that's lapping the resort on cold January days, ski touring or working in the mountains. It's durable enough for heavy use and dexterous enough for buckles, bindings and avalanche gear. It's also available as a 3-finger model, a mitt and a women's-specific version. Our team at Fresh Air will help you find the right fit in-store at both Kelowna locations. Stop by to work with one of our experienced staff members, or call 250-763-3425.

Q1: How do I find the right size Hestra Army Leather Heli Ski glove?
The Army Leather Heli Ski 5 Finger comes in Hestra sizes. Hestra sizes are based on hand circumference: measure around your hand just below the knuckles, excluding your thumb, then check Hestra's size guide. The glove should leave a little room at the fingertips without excess material, because a glove that's too tight restricts circulation and feels colder. Our staff can help you try sizes in-store.

Q2: Does the Heli Ski glove go over my jacket cuff, and does it work for ski touring?
Yes, it goes over. The long gauntlet cuff fits over your jacket sleeve, and the snow lock and Velcro® wrist strap seal out snow. For ski touring, you can remove the liner and wear a thinner glove on the way up. The carabiner and pinky loop let you hang the glove opening-down so it stays dry inside while it's off your hand.

Q3: Is the Hestra Army Leather Heli Ski waterproof?
Not fully. Hestra doesn't list a waterproof membrane, and rates the glove as not waterproof. The treated goat leather and Triton polyamide backhand are windproof and water-resistant, and the G-Loft insulation keeps insulating even when damp. Treating the leather regularly with the included Leather Balm helps maintain its water resistance.
