What is the Hestra layering system?

Keep your hands warm and dry by combining various glove layers with different features. 

Baselayer liner - Closest to your skin, a thin baselayer liner can wick away moisture and offer an extra layer of warmth. Keep it on when you pull your hands out to perform fine motor tasks like adjusting a buckle or a zipper that you would normally do barehanded. Just like you don't put your bare feet into your ski boots and expect to have warm toes, a baselayer liner can increase warmth by around 20 percent.

Main glove - This is your primary glove. If you are a frequent adventurer, you may want to have more than one pair based on the conditions you expect to encounter. This layer keeps your hands warm and dry in the usual conditions for your area. Hestra gloves have fixed or removable liners. Styles with removable liners offer more options for regulating temperature performance for this glove, which may allow you to use the same style in more varied conditions.

Shell glove - An additional layer of protection for the worst conditions. This layer goes over your main glove. Pull it on when it's biting cold, wet, or if you're standing still for prolonged periods to create another layer of air that insulates against the cold.

Adding a baselayer liner and shell glove can increase warmth by approximately 50 percent compared to only wearing your main gloves. A shell glove doesn't take up much space and can easily be rolled up for storage and access.
