The material of your gloves is one of the most important factors when making a selection. The better the leather, the longer it lasts, the more comfort it delivers and the greater the safety.
Here are the top five reasons why Goatskin Leather is preferred for driver style gloves:
While Goatskin leather may have a higher upfront cost, it will save you money in the long run. Goatskin provides the best abrasion and tensile strength for its weight making it cost-effective and affordable.
Due to its thinner and softer hide, goatskin is very pliable and flexible, allowing it to be the first choice for driver-style gloves. Goatskin Leather gloves are very popular in work applications like Farming, Woodwork, Construction, Heavy Duty Rigging & Hoisting, Trash & Container Handling.
Goatskin is suppler and softer because of the presence of lanolin in the leather. It's textured like a pebble which gives it distinctive ridges. Goatskin is breathable and offers a nimbler fit making it easier for the wearer to be dexterous without hand fatigue.
"Glove stretch" is a very important quality for certain gloves. Leather has such a quality that when you wear a goatskin leather glove, it becomes a part of you like the way you are wearing a pair of suede jeans. This material is also known to age very well making the gloves last longer.
Due to the natural characteristics of goatskin, namely the alignment of the follicles that once held the animal hair, goatskin is typically the supplest and thus easiest to cut and sew. The result is a better-fitting glove.
