What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "The Idre Wool Mitten feels premium the second you put it on. The hairsheep leather breaks in beautifully, and the Lavalan insulation is super warm without feeling bulky. I also love the merino lining—it keeps my hands dry and comfortable on long ski days. It’s one of those mitts that just gets better with time." We appreciate gear that works hard behind the scenes, and the Hestra Idre Wool Mitten does just that by combining natural materials with thoughtful craftsmanship. Its impregnated hairsheep leather exterior offers a timeless look while shedding snow and blocking wind on cold days in the mountains or around town. Inside, a merino wool blend lines the mitten with next-to-skin softness, managing moisture and resisting odor even during long, active outings. What truly sets this mitten apart is its Lavalan insulation—an innovative blend of Swedish wool and plant-based corn starch that creates lofty, quick-drying warmth without relying on conventional synthetics. The result is a warm, breathable, and eco-conscious mitt built to handle both everyday winter wear and dedicated ski days. A secure hook-and-loop cuff seals out snow and drafts, keeping our hands comfortable from first chair to last light.
