Hestra's first glove was originally designed in Hestra, Sweden in 1936 by Martin Magnusson for lumberjacks who needed warmth and high durability for rugged conditions. When skiers began to visit Hestra, he realized they could also benefit from sturdy leather gloves and in 1941 Hestra's first ski glove was born.

For 75 years, the Magnusson family continues to create premium gloves by utilizing natural materials including leather and wool. Today, the Magnusson's are now mentoring the fourth generation of glove making to continue the tradition of fine craftsmanship, testing and development of some of the finest gloves in the world.
