Story & heritage

The Fält Guide Glove is named after Lars Fält, founder of the Survival School for the Swedish Armed Forces and an expert in wilderness survival. Hestra says he wanted a hardwearing, warm work glove and turned to the brand; this partnership produced the Fält Guide Glove.

Official copy says it has become a favourite among mountain guides, ski patrols and outdoor professionals who spend much of their time in cold, open air. It is the professional workhorse of the Hestra canon.

Materials & craft

The glove combines extra-tough goatskin leather on the grip surfaces with flexible cowhide on the backhand. A removable wool liner can be swapped and dried, and the relatively spacious pattern leaves insulating air around the hand.

How to choose & style

Size it for warmth rather than a tight fashion fit: the glove is meant to hold air. The natural yellow/off-white version is pure mountain-tool energy; brown/black is the easier everyday winter choice.
