See our entire range from Hestra here!

Hestra Heli Ski Wool Liner Mitt is a soft and warming wool liner in a thumb model , developed for Hestra's thumb gloves with a high collar , such as the Army Leather Heli Ski Mitt . A perfect choice when the original liner starts to wear out - or for those who want an extra liner in their pack to be able to quickly change to during long and cold ski days.

The lining is made from an effective combination of wool terry on the palm and airy wool pile on the top . The construction traps a lot of air and provides excellent insulation, while the natural properties of wool help regulate temperature and transport moisture away. The result is a warm and comfortable lining that works even in cold and damp conditions.

The liner is attached to the outer glove with Velcro , which ensures that it stays securely in place during activity. A durable and long-lasting accessory that extends the life of your Hestra gloves and provides flexibility when temperatures and needs vary.

The Hestra Heli Ski Wool Liner Mitt is a removable thumb liner in wool terry and airy wool pile. It is primarily designed for the Hestra Army Leather Heli Ski Mitt and also fits several other compatible Hestra thumb gloves with a high collar and Velcro fastening.

When replacing, the lining should normally be the same size as the outer jacket.

The measurements are guidelines. Measure both hands and start with the larger hand.

Choose the same size as the outer mitten

If you are replacing a worn or lost lining, the size of the outer mitten should guide your choice:

  • Outer mitten in size 7 – choose lining in size 7.
  • Outer mitten in size 9 – choose lining in size 9.
  • Outer mitten in size 11 – choose lining in size 11.

Check the size marking on the outer mitten or the old lining. The same size number provides the best conditions for the lining's length, width and Velcro fastening to fit the outer mitten.

How to measure your hand

If you are missing an outer mitten of known size:

  1. Measure around the widest part of your hand, just below the knuckles.
  2. Don't include your thumb in the measurement.
  3. Keep your hand relaxed and do not tighten the measuring tape.
  4. Compare the result with the table above.

If you don't have a soft tape measure, you can use a string and then measure the length of the string with a ruler.

If you are between two sizes

If you don't have an existing outer mitten and your hand size is between two sizes, the larger size is normally recommended. A lining that is too small can sit tight over the palm and restrict circulation.

If you already have a compatible outer mitten, however, you should choose the same size as the outer mitten. A larger liner may crease or be difficult to insert, while a liner that is too small may end up misaligned at the thumb and Velcro fastener.

How should the wool lining fit?

The lining should wrap around the hand without being tight. The fingers should be able to move together in the main part of the mitten and the thumb should be able to bend without the material tightening.

The right fit means that:

  • the fingertips are not pressed against the front edge of the lining
  • the lining lies smoothly around the palm
  • the thumb reaches down properly without tightening
  • the hand can be opened and closed without hindrance
  • the Velcro fastener fits right into the outer glove
  • the lining does not crease when the outer mitten is put on
  • there is some insulating air around the hand
  • blood circulation is not restricted

Always try the liner together with the outer mitten. The fit should be assessed with the entire system on hand.

Switching from synthetic lining to wool lining

The Heli Ski Wool Liner Mitt can be used as an alternative to Hestra's regular Heli Ski Liner Mitt with synthetic insulation. Normally choose the same size as the outer mitten even when changing the lining type.

The material construction of the wool lining may feel different from the original synthetic lining, so please check that:

  • the wool lining fits without being compressed
  • the outer glove can be put on without resistance
  • the thumb is right
  • the grip doesn't become too tight
  • The lining remains when the mitten is removed.

Use with a thin base liner

A thin merino wool liner can be used when the outer mitten has enough space. Then try the wool liner, base liner and outer mitten together.

Don't add an extra layer if your fingers are squeezed together or circulation is impaired. A combination that is too tight can make your hand colder despite the extra insulation.

Check the correct model

Heli Ski Wool Liner My liner is a form-fitting main liner with Velcro fastening and should not be confused with a thin, stand-alone merino wool liner.

Hestra has separate liners for several models, so check compatibility extra carefully if you have:

  • Heli Ski Female Mitt
  • Heli Ski Jr. Mitt
  • a five-finger or three-finger model
  • a Hestra mitten without a high collar
  • an outer mitten with a different type of attachment

Important about weather protection

The wool lining is not windproof or waterproof and is intended to be worn inside a protective outer mitten. Remove the lining and let it dry separately after use.
