With the company beginning in 1936 and their roots seated in the Swedish province of Småland, Hestra is no stranger to creating some of the finest gloves for cold weather pursuits. Originally intended to outfit the skiers on a local slope, Hestra began working on making some of the most durable and high-quality gloves available. Since their beginning as ski glove producers, however, Hestra has been able to craft hundreds of styles of gloves that often are constructed of waterproof natural materials and will serve you on the slopes, in the streets, or along a snowy trail.
