Otra Dark Green

A light winter mitten from Hestra in Dark Green, with quilting that gives it a slightly retro look. The shell is windproof, and on a bike that matters more than whatever the thermometer says.

The outer fabric is polyamide ripstop, woven with a grid that stops a small tear from spreading, and it is water repellent. Inside is Primaloft Gold, a synthetic insulation that feels a lot like down, behind a brushed polyester lining. A ribbed wool blend cuff closes around the wrist to keep the cold from getting in.

Available in Hestra sizes 6 to 9. Plain enough for the daily commute, warm enough for a long walk on a frosty weekend.
