    My plastic toggle that cinches the cuff broke.

    I'm never buying one of those plastic toggles from Hestra again!!!

    mine came with separate wrist cuffs attached via elastic string. the string was obviously defective, since scissors went right through it. they did NOT send me a new pair.

    After only a few hours of vigorous masturbation with my heli pros I experienced an undue amount of chaffing. Some chaffing is to be expected, but I feel this was above and beyond the limit of what I would consider acceptable. I even used the little packet of lubricant, to no effect, not sure why they even include that stuff, as it doesnt seem to work very well.

    I'd boycott sex before I'd consider parting with my Cloud 9's.

    my only gripe with hestra is that the little lubricant they sell you with the gloves is only good for about half a dexterous fuck and not more.

    MORE LUBRICANT!~ (pm sent)

    You still living in Calgary?

    PM me an address and I'll put some Hestra balm in the mail for you. It's easier for me to send it from Vancouver than Jax from Colorado.

    damit, another joke fell flat

    don't send me lubricant, instead let me know where I can buy hestras this side of the continental divide. the closest i've seen a large selection was in revelstoke and the corporate website lists only vancouver as a store in canada. jeebus knows i don't need a new pair, but i want one so bad

    I don't want a replacement pair, I'm just saying that I wore holes in the leather of my Hestra gloves only marginally slower than I did in my BD gloves.

    Hestras are still better than any other very expensive glove I've wasted my money on.

    Hestras are warmer and more dextrous than any winter glove out there but they are a bit more fragile than some other brands. Still, I stick with Hestra as my glove of choice, fer Grenade, of course.

    I'm pretty sure Couloir in Canmore has a decent selection. Prices I'm not so sure about.

    Banff MountainWear
    Banff Springs Sports
    Monods
    Lous Skiing Performance - Calgary
    Mountain Bike City - Calgary
    Techno Sport - Calgary
    Wilson Sports - Louise

    If any of them don't have the model you want they can special order it, the 2010/2011 stuff should be arriving here mid August and into shops mid Sept.

    We need to get all of our dealers up on the corporate site, currently it just lists us the distributor.
