Goatskin is characterised by its natural softness and suppleness, providing excellent dexterity.

BENEFITS:
High durability
Good sensitivity and comfortable fit
Ideal for precision work

DISADVANTAGES:
Less resistant to abrasion and moisture compared to thicker leathers.

Cowhide gloves are the most commonly used leather type and are known for their robustness and durability.

ADVANTAGES:
Good resistance to abrasion and punctures
Suitable for heavy-duty applications

DISADVANTAGES:

Cowhide split is made from the layer of skin closest to the meat. This type of leather is typically thicker and more robust than regular cowhide.

ADVANTAGES:
Excellent protection against heat/fire, coarse materials, durable and affordable

DISADVANTAGES:
Less breathable and can be stiffer, reducing dexterity

There are several reasons why leather gloves are a good alternative to regular assembly gloves. Leather gloves are favoured for their durability and protection in heavy work, while dipped gloves are better for flexibility and fine tasks.  

They are made from natural or treated leather, known for durability and protection.
Leather gloves are ideal for heavy and rough tasks, such as construction and mechanical work.

Durability: Excellent durability and protection against abrasion, cuts and heat.
Warmth: Better for handling hot objects and offers good shock absorption.
Natural material: Natural material that adapts to the user's hand over time.

Flexibility: Less flexible and breathable compared to dipped gloves - especially in wet and oily environments.
Waterproofness: Do not offer the same level of waterproofness as nitrile or latex dipped gloves
Price: Leather gloves are generally more expensive and less versatile in different working conditions with dipped gloves.
