Product Information
Full details
The Hestra CZone Mountain 3-Finger Ski Gloves are designed for adult males seeking warm, waterproof protection for winter activities like skiing and snowboarding. Their key benefit lies in combining robust waterproofing with excellent warmth and grip, while a potential caveat is the 3-finger design which may take some adjustment for those accustomed to full-fingered gloves. These gloves feature a CZone membrane, a blend of polyester and goatskin, Fiberfil insulation, and a fleece lining, along with a high cuff, adjustable wrist strap, and convenient accessories.

FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for extreme cold?
Yes, the Fiberfill insulation and fleece lining are designed to provide excellent warmth in very cold winter conditions, making them suitable for extreme cold activities.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to Hestra's sizing chart, typically available on their website or the product's retail page. Measure the circumference of your hand at the knuckles and consult the chart for the best fit. A proper fit is crucial for both warmth and dexterity.
Can I wash these gloves in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the leather, the CZone membrane, and the insulation. Hand clean with a damp cloth and air dry.
What is the 'Wolf Paw' design?
The 'Wolf Paw' design refers to specific stitching and construction on the fingertips that enhances strength and maintains dexterity, allowing for better manipulation of gear.
How do I attach the included handcuffs?
The handcuffs (or wrist straps) are designed to loop around your wrist before putting on the gloves. This prevents you from losing the gloves if you take them off temporarily, as they will hang from your wrists.
What is the primary difference between this and a 5-finger glove?
The 3-finger design groups the index finger separately while combining the other four fingers. This design traps more heat by reducing the surface area that can lose warmth, while still allowing reasonable dexterity for the thumb and index finger.
How often should I condition the leather?
For optimal performance and longevity, it is recommended to condition the leather parts of the gloves at least once per season, or more frequently if they are used heavily or exposed to dry conditions.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel damp inside
Ensure the snowlock cuff is properly sealed inside your jacket sleeves. If the dampness persists after use, air dry the gloves thoroughly away from heat and consider if they were exposed to prolonged heavy moisture. Check for any damage to the CZone membrane.
Reduced grip on ski poles
Clean the goatskin palms with a damp cloth and ensure they are fully dry. If the leather feels stiff, apply a Hestra-recommended leather balm to restore its suppleness and grip.
Difficulty with fine motor tasks
The 3-finger design is optimized for warmth and dexterity. Practice may be needed. Ensure the gloves fit correctly; a glove that is too tight can restrict movement.
Stiff or cracked leather
The leather requires regular conditioning. Apply a suitable leather balm specifically designed for outdoor gear. Avoid using heat to dry the gloves, as this can cause the leather to become brittle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The gloves are ready to wear out of the package. Ensure the wrist strap is adjusted for a comfortable and secure fit, and the snowlock cuff is tucked inside your jacket sleeves to prevent snow from entering.
Compatibility: These gloves are designed for skiing, snowboarding, and general winter use. They are compatible with most ski jackets and outerwear.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the leather and membrane.
- Drying: Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators or fires. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture during drying.
- Leather Care: Periodically treat the leather parts with a suitable leather balm or wax to maintain suppleness and water resistance. Follow product-specific care instructions provided by Hestra.
