Sweden's gift for your cold fingers... AMAZING PRICE!
If you're someone who has cold fingers then this is your glove. The "funky" 3 finger design is perfect for adjusting your boot buckles... this means U don't have 2 take your gloves off!! The inner lining is feels great to the touch. In damp conditions, I recommend a thin inner liner just in case. Take care of the glove, dry it properly, make sure U use the leather solution to preserve the glove and you might never have to buy another pair of glove for 15 years! I live in Helsinki, FINLAND. Helsinki is cold, windy and damp. Over here this glove costs 110€. Keep in mind that we all have health care. Backcountry.com's price is AN ABSOLUTE STEAL!! Hestra is a Swedish brand. You will see Hestra gloves all over the alps. In Äre, Sweden, I saw over 50% wearing Hestra gloves. Once you put these gloves on you won't want to take them off.

What a great "lobster" glove! I recently dislocated my 4th finger and these gloves were perfect for keeping my fingers protected and warm. And I still had great dexterity. Removable liners were key and easy to reinsert. Love the length on the gloves,too. Will never go back!

Very nice
You can remove and wash the inner lining (5-finger). I had wet hands inside, but they dried quickily.

Training Tips

Heart monitors are useful for knowing when you are in the right zone for your training efforts. If you understand what your maximum heart rate is, you can set up your monitor to beep at you when you exceed the high or low range of your heart rate for the type of workout you are doing.

Cross training gives your body a chance to recover while still exercising. If yesterday has a hard run day up and down hills, then today's bicycle ride gives your aching knees a well deserved break.

Anaeroic threshold is when lactic acid starts to build up in your body as your muscles are not getting the oxygen they require. This threshold is typically expressed as a percentage of your VO2 max - the amount of oxygen per kilogram of weight that a person can use in converting fuel to energy. Elite athletes threshold might be as high as 90% of VO2 max.

Efficient running position allows you to run farther and faster. Keep the heel raise to a minimum, relax your upper body and hands, keep your upper body poised and quiet.
