The Hestra Ergo Grip Active Glove is an exclusive glove with Ergo Grip construction. This creates pre-curved fingers, minimal excess material, while the seams are positioned for optimal grip. The glove features durable goat leather on the palm, while the upper section is made from waterproof, windproof and breathable Gore WINDSTOPPER© Breeze.
The lining is made from brushed polyester, while other features include a Velcro closure and reinforcement at the index finger.
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.
