Hestra Ergo Grip Active Glove
The Hestra Ergo Grip Active 5 Finger is a versatile, all-season outdoor glove built around Hestra's patented Ergo Grip design — where seam placement is engineered to maximise your hand's natural freedom of movement. Crafted with hardwearing goatskin leather palms and a windproof, breathable Gore-Tex stretch fabric backhand, it delivers exceptional dexterity (7/8 mobility) without compromising on durability (6/8).
Whether you're hiking, hunting, fishing or ski touring, this supple 5-finger glove offers a near-bare-hand feel with just enough insulation for crisp days and shoulder-season conditions. A thin fleece liner wicks moisture away from the skin, while the neoprene cuff with Velcro closure ensures a secure, adjustable fit. It's the kind of glove you'll reach for all year round.
description
The Hestra Ergo Grip Active 5 Finger is a true four-season workhorse, designed for outdoor enthusiasts who demand precision grip and unrestricted movement across a wide range of activities. At the heart of this glove is Hestra's patented Ergo Grip construction — a thoughtful approach to seam placement that follows the hand's natural contours, dramatically reducing bulk and allowing for intuitive, fatigue-free dexterity.
Materials & Construction
The palm is crafted from Hestra's renowned hardwearing goatskin leather, offering outstanding grip, abrasion resistance and a supple feel that improves with use. The backhand features a windproof stretch fabric (Gore-tex infinium windstopper breeze) that provides excellent breathability, making this glove comfortable during high-output activities where moisture management is critical. Inside, a thin fleece liner efficiently wicks perspiration away from the skin, keeping hands dry and comfortable throughout the day.

sustainability
Hestra has a long-term partnership with a new German leather supplier. The hides come from farms in southern Germany, a region known for good animal welfare, small-scale operations, and lots of natural grazing. They are then processed at a Bavarian quality tannery located in the same geographic region. One initiative was building its own purification plant, which removes 99 % of the contaminants from the water used in the tanning process, and a bio power plant that produces all the energy needed for production from in-house waste products. The tannery is ECO2L certified (Energy Controlled Leather) for its low CO2 emissions and “Gold rated” by the industry organisation LWG (Leather Working Group).
Wool is a natural “high-tec” fibre and possesses several advantages, such as its ability to uptake and release moisture vapour up to 36% of its dry weight, while being water-repellent at the same time. Recycled wool is a very sustainable option, as it saves a considerable amount of water, reduces land use and the use of chemicals for dyeing.
