Hestra Merino Wool Liner Active 5 Finger
Made from a merino mix these goves offer warmth even when damp. Due to their thin material they can be worn either as a stand alone glove in warmer months or as a liner during the winter.
The Hestra Merino Wool Liner Active 5 Finger is a versatile glove with it being able to be a standalone or liner. The glove has been made with ease of use and comfortability in mind with a pull tab in order to take them off easily and minimal seams in order to reduce chafing. Being partially made out of merino these gloves offer the benefits of merino such as breathability and temperature regulation, additionally due to it being a mix these gloves are more durable than 100% merino gloves.
Hestra has a long-term partnership with a 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).
