Hestra Falt Guide Glove

Hestra Fält Guide Glove

A hardwearing, warm work glove trusted by mountain guides, ski patrols, and outdoor professionals who spend long days in cold, demanding conditions. Named after Lars Fält, founder of the Swedish Armed Forces Survival School, the Fält Guide was designed by someone who needed a glove that would actually hold up to serious outdoor work and has become a benchmark for professionals who can't afford gear that fails in the field.

Why We Carry It
It's the glove we recommend for guides, ski patrollers, and serious backcountry skiers who want a durable, warm leather work glove built to last years rather than seasons.

Highlights

• Army goatskin leather on the palm and grip surfaces — One of the toughest leather options available for a work glove, providing exceptional abrasion resistance and grip exactly where a glove takes the most punishment. Rated 7 out of 8 for durability for a reason.
• Flexible cowhide on the backhand — A softer, more supple cowhide that allows natural hand movement and finger articulation without the stiffness of an all-goatskin construction. Rated 5 out of 8 for mobility for a glove at this durability level.
• Removable wool pile and wool terry liner — Nature's most effective insulating material in a removable liner that can be swapped out for a dry one on long multi-day tours. A practical design detail for guides and professionals who spend multiple consecutive days in the cold without access to a dryer.
• Spacious fit for insulating air — A deliberately roomy design that traps air for deep, enveloping warmth rated 6 out of 8 for a glove that functions as a serious work tool in harsh winter conditions.
• Outseams on the palm — Seams positioned on the outside of the palm rather than the inside for improved comfort and reduced pressure points during long days of gripping poles, tools, and equipment.
• Elastic wrist closure with carabiner attachment — A secure, adjustable wrist fit with a carabiner loop for clipping off the glove without losing it on technical terrain or during equipment handling.
• Handcuff attachments — A practical feature for mountain guides and ski patrollers who carry rescue equipment and need a reliable way to secure gloves during hands-on work.
• Made in Rakamaz, Hungary — Hestra's European manufacturing commitment for a glove built to the quality standard that defines the brand.
