Where to buy:
The Fall Line is a longtime favorite for industry and technical skiers who value durability and dexterity over warmth. I’ve traditionally associated Hestra with the warmest ski gloves on the market. The Fall Line is a departure, but retains adequate warmth in all but the coldest weather while offering compelling compromises in other areas.
These hard-working and durable gloves allow the necessary mobility for complicated tasks over multiple seasons of heavy use. Design considerations like baffled knuckles and palm padding outseams facilitate wiggling fingers and keeping hold of slippery slopeside objects.

Notably less warm than other models from HestraWhere to buy:
For their compact and stylish build, Fall Line gloves incorporate many of the features we look for in high-end gloves. Its removable liner is unique among “work glove” models, and as an added benefit, is interchangeable with other Hestra liners.
Notable drawbacks include the price tag, water resistance, and requisite maintenance that comes with any pair of leather gloves. You’ll need to thoroughly treat these gloves with leather conditioner at least a couple times a season to keep them in working order.
