There’s no question about the importance of leather gloves in particular work settings. It is then vital to select one that is of best quality and is also affordable at the same time. For others, choosing the perfect leather work gloves is not an easy task. It might help to make a comparison of various types to choose the one most appropriate for a particular purpose.

Gloves available in the market are usually made of cowhide, pigskin, deerskin etc and all manifesting unique properties specific to the animal. The leather obtain from cowhide is considered as one of the roughest and inexpensive leathers. It actually does a good job in keeping hands warm, although quite limited in breathability. Another down side is it gets hard after getting wet. The pigskin leather is generally very soft and elastic because it is high in lanolin. It is also more absorbent, which makes it comfortable and resistant to moisture. It’s more affordable than cowhide, but not quite as warm. The leather from goatskin usually has the highest natural lanolin content which makes the gloves very softer and flexible. Just like pigskin leather, it keeps its flexibility after getting wet, although it is not as durable. It does not also provide as much protection from the cold as cowhide does. Deerskin leather is extremely soft, which makes it very handy and flexible. It is best used for its comfort, but not as durable as the others. Its breathability is also very minimal.  Read more...
