Hestra Unisex Viggen SL Gloves

Viggen SL 5 Finger is a short, practical slalom glove with technical details that offers excellent protection for the hand. This glove comes with pre-shaped fingers and external seams for optimum pole grip. Two different shock-absorbing materials are combined on the backhand and the thumb to provide ample protection against bumps and knocks. One material is d30, a high-tech material that’s soft and elastic until it’s subjected to blows, when the molecules lock in place and absorb the impact. The second layer consists of a classic, sturdy foam plastic.Supple cowhide shuts out the elements, and ceramic reinforcements provide extra resilience on surfaces subject to heavy wear and tear. The liner is made of soft, brushed polyester that keeps you warm and wicks away moisture. A neoprene cuff with Velcro adjustment provides a comfortable fit around the wrist.
