Most comfortable glove I have every worn
- Familiarity:

- Size Bought:

I have wanted these gloves for several years, and with the sale, I finally pulled the trigger. These are by far the most comfortable gloves I have ever worn in my entire life. The unique lining is soft and incredibly warm. The retro cinch straps work great, and the gloves are a beauty to behold. I haven't put them through the ringer yet, but I have worn them on half dozen occasions on cold leisure walks and so far they have met/exceeded expectations.

Vast inconsistencies
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Size Bought:
- 8
- Weight:

On the first pair I received from Backcountry, two of the fingers on the right glove had about 5/8” extra material than the left glove/all other fingers. They quickly processed a replacement for me. However, the second pair arrived and is a very different color/leather texture/consistency (fingers are all the same length, at least!). I realize quality leather products generally have inconsistencies from item to item, but the difference here is pretty stark, as the first pair was quite smooth and the second is very wrinkly. Curious if this is a known Hestra issue, if Backcountry has a “bad batch”, or what. I have been waiting to hear back after calling them again, guess we’ll see!

Hestra gloves really are the best
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Size Bought:
- 11
I already had a pair of lobster-style leather glove/mittens from Hestra (Fall Line) that I've used for skiing the past couple seasons and love them, but I wanted something I could wear day-to-day away from the slopes. The Wakayama are just as warm and durable as my other pair of Hestra gloves but come in a form factor that's a little more casual. If you want the best gloves, Hestra is the way to go.
