Hestra Adult Impact Racing Mitt

Description & Features

The Hestra Impact Racing Mitt is a short, close-fitting alpine racing mitten built for protection and reliable pole control in slalom and giant slalom. Treated goatskin leather provides a durable outer shell with dependable grip, while shock-absorbing padding across the backhand and fingers helps protect against repeated gate impacts. Reinforcement details add durability in high-wear areas for the demands of race training and competition.

External seams give the Hestra Impact Racing Mitt a comfortable, precise feel around the pole, while the mitten construction provides added coverage and warmth for cold race days. G-Loft synthetic insulation maintains strong insulating performance even in wet conditions, and the soft Bemberg lining adds warmth and next-to-hand comfort. An elasticated wrist and adjustable Velcro closure secure the mitt around the wrist and help keep snow out during training and race runs.

Construction & Technology

Race Impact Protection

Shock-absorbing padding across the backhand and fingers provides added protection against repeated contact with slalom and giant slalom gates. The flexible construction maintains hand movement and pole control while adding coverage to impact-prone areas.

G-Loft Insulation

G-Loft is a fine polyester-fiber insulation with high insulating capacity, including in wet conditions. It is quick drying, breathable, and highly compressible, providing warmth while supporting the mitt's close-fitting race construction.

Goatskin Leather & External Seams

Treated goatskin leather provides the durability, flexibility, and grip needed for alpine racing. Hestra's external seam construction places the seams away from pressure points inside the mitt for improved comfort and a precise connection between the hand and ski pole.

Bemberg Lining

Bemberg is a soft, warm polyamide fabric used as the mitt's next-to-hand lining. It adds comfort and insulation inside the close-fitting race construction.
