Hestra CZone Mountain 5-Finger Black

The CZone Mountain 5-finger brings genuine dexterity to winter glove performance. The goatskin leather palm is water-repellent and grips ski poles reliably, while the synthetic insulation and CZone waterproof-breathable membrane keep your hands warm and dry through long days in the cold. The gauntlet cuff with adjustable snow guard seals out spindrift, and the elastic drawstring and Velcro closure lock everything in place.

Why we rate it

This is a workhorse glove. Hestra rates it 6/8 for warmth—deep, enveloping insulation without excessive bulk—and it's durable enough for serious use. The 5-finger cut trades some warmth for the mobility and grip that skiers need when adjusting bindings, fastening goggles or holding a pole. The goatskin palm stays supple in the cold and doesn't get clammy. The CZone membrane is proven: it breathes well enough to shed hand sweat while keeping wind and water out.

Who it's for

Intermediate to advanced skiers who want one pair of gloves that works on the piste, in the park and in soft snow. Hands of average build; if you have larger hands, size up (this glove runs small). Anyone who values control and feedback over maximum insulation.

Key features

• Goatskin leather palm — water-repellent grip, stays supple in cold
• CZone membrane — waterproof and breathable, blocks wind
• Synthetic Fiberfil insulation — warm without excessive weight
• Wolf Paw fingertip reinforcement — added durability where gloves wear fastest
• Gauntlet cuff with snow guard — adjustable drawstring seals out spindrift
• Velcro and elastic wrist closure — secure fit, easy adjustment
• Attachment loops — clips to keep gloves tethered to jacket or pack

Fit and feel

Medium volume, regular fit. The gauntlet sits high on the forearm. Sizes run small: many skiers go up half a size. The goatskin is more yielding than synthetic leather, so the glove softens and moulds to your hand within the first season.
