Hestra
Short freeride glove for big runs...
Soft and thin liners that provide a good extra layer in colder weather. Compatible with most gloves. The material is a mix of merino wool and polyamide, which makes the liner both warm and durable. It is somewhat more durable than our soft and fine Merino
Our most well-known glove is a modern classic with many functions. A longer model for those who often ski powder and need a durable and warm companion on the mountain. Can be combined with other liners.
The family business Martin Magnusson & Co. was founded in 1936 and is now run by the third generation of Magnussons. Both design and development is done at the headquarters in the small town of Hestra.
Our gloves are manufactured in our own factories and we personally buy all leather, fabric, wool and other materials. This gives us control of the production chain and ensures a high level of quality. Several of our models are handmade by some of the most experienced glove makers in Europe.
In 2015, we produced over 2 million pairs of gloves. The company has about 50 employees at its headquarters in Sweden. We also have a subsidiaries in United States, Norway and Germany as well as agents, distributors and retailers in over 30 countries.
In addition to Scandinavia, the United States, Alp- countries and Japan are our largest markets. The owners and managers are brothers Claes and Svante Magnusson. They have two sons – the fourth generation of Magnussons – who also work at Hestra.
