Impact Racing Jr. Mitt
What We Love
- • Serious impact protection (knuckles, fingers, back of hand)
- • Extremely durable goatskin construction
- • Warm enough for full race days
- • Designed for aggressive skiing and repeated use
Worth Knowing
- • Expensive
- • Lower dexterity than non-race mittens
- • Snug, race-oriented fit isn’t for every kid
- • Overbuilt for casual skiers
The Hesta Impact Racing Jr. Mittens are built for kids who are skiing hard, not just staying warm. These are race mittens, and it shows. There’s reinforced padding across the knuckles, fingers, and back of the hand designed to absorb impact from gates and crashes. The outer is durable goatskin leather with additional reinforcement in high-wear areas, so they hold up to seasons of use instead of falling apart mid-winter. They’re also genuinely warm, with synthetic insulation and a soft liner that holds heat even in cold, wet conditions. This is the kind of mitten you buy once and expect to pass down. But they’re purpose-built. The snug, low-profile fit that racers want can feel tight for casual skiers, and the added protection reduces dexterity compared to softer, everyday mittens.
