Hestra Junior Patrol 5 Finger Gloves

Patrol Jr is designed for skiing in slightly colder temperatures and to suit young skiers who like to spend a lot of time in the park and forest, and on the slopes. The materials are durable, weather-resistant and flexible, to protect and facilitate hand movements. The goatskin in the palm is the same sturdy material used in Hestra’s popular Heli Ski model, while the backhand is made from stretch fabric.

A removable fleece liner with warm synthetic insulation keeps small hands warm when the cold bites. The liner is easy to dry after a day’s skiing, or to wash when dirty. The cuff is short and flexible, and can be adjusted with Velcro to stay securely in place. A wrist strap is also included to reduce the risk of losing a glove, for example on a ski lift. Also available as a mitten.
