Hestra Idre Wool Mittens

Classic ski mitt with warming Swedish wool insulation. Sewn in treated lamb nappa with excellent suppleness and lustre, while the inside is a knitted merino wool blend. A stylish model with a great feel, and equally at home on the piste and powder as on chilly weekdays in the town.

Natural materials are the main ingredients in the classic Idre Wool Mitt. As a mitten, it traps more air than a glove, making it ideal if you are prone to cold fingers. The lining is merino wool blend with Lavalan - a warming Swedish wool and corn starch insulation. The exterior is made of ski nappa, a soft and supple leather that has been treated to give similar durability and water resistance to cowhide.

The design is minimalist, with a wide integral elasticated band at the top of the wrist. The width is adjusted with Velcro, and there are attachment points for a wrist strap (accessory). A stylish model for the ski slope and everyday winter life. Also available in a 5-finger version.
