Strengths:
The appearance, durable and more water resistant than textile.
Weaknesses:
Short model, varying in size between model years.
Summary:
A very nice leather glove from Hestra. Over the wrist, the size is adjusted with a string that feels really secure and durable for many years to come, much more reliable than a velcro. Inside there is a small loop for attaching wrist straps.
I have a version that is a few years old and the disadvantage of it compared to the newer one is that on mine it is not possible to remove the inner lining. If you buy a pair today, it comes with a separate inner glove. This means better washing possibilities and that you can buy new inner gloves separately if for some reason it is needed. On the other hand, Hestra does not sell the outer part separately, which might have been even more beneficial because it is subject to more wear and tear.
I'm a size 10 and unfortunately my glove is too small for me, but have tried the newer version in store and it fits perfectly in the same size. The newer ones are therefore a little bigger and therefore I am considering buying a new pair.
For me, this is perhaps best suited as an everyday glove as I want a longer glove up over the wrist for skiing. I therefore find it a little strange that it is part of Hestra's Alpine Pro collection.
In summary, a stable glove that will last for many years to come. It still shows no signs of wear in the leather.

Strengths:
- The most beautiful glove made. -heat- gets better with time (?)
Weaknesses:
- requires maintenance (just like all leather gloves) - does not wash the inner glove (which is solved with a liner for longer durability)
Summary:
Definitely the coolest and finest glove Hestra has done. Inside my second couple. Requires some care but it is worth it!
