Hestra Heli 3-Finger
Hestra manufactures gloves for the Swedish army. Their Heli 3-Finger's innovative design combines the warmth of a mitten with the dexterity of a glove. Mittens generally provide more warmth than gloves, but they make it difficult to grip the ski poles. The insulated, waterproof and windproof Heli 3-Finger has finger articulations at the thumb and the two adjacent fingers. A mitten design covers the ring and little finger, which you will not use in poling. The glove also comes with a removable, five-finger polyester lining. The glove comes in men's and women's models.
