Hestra Vertical Cut 2008

Overall

Absolutly a must have for the extreme riders. The grip and dexterity of these gloves are amazing. The quality of leather and stitching is second to none.

Performance

This is the best glove i have ever owned. It is well made and holds up to punishment. It is extremley warm for its thickness, and very water resistant. If you are using poles the grip is amazing, and dexterity is far superior to any other glove on the market. 

Design

Look and feel of these are amazing. The leather is supple and soft and fits right out of the box. The stitching is very high end. I have worn the gloves daily for a season and they have yet to show major wear. Comes in 4 colours and I own two. They are very sharp looking and similiar to the Seth Pro glove 2007-2008. I have worn both and prefer these gloves because of better warmth and dexterity.

Fit

These gloves fit true to size. The black gloves are a bit heavier/tougher leather then the coloured versions. The leather needs minumal wearing before it conforms to your hand.

Durability

The leather in the gloves, while soft; is very durable waterproof and strong. The cuff closure is alot better holding, and easier to open/close with minumal effort. Its thick and hold up to many opening and closing.
