TECHNICAL INFORMATION SHELL LEATHER / PALM Due to the natural pores in the animal skin, leather is one of nature’s most breathable materials. Auclair leathers are treated to be resistant to abrasion if permitted to dry naturally. All leather for ski gloves is drum-dyed which preserves the softness of the skin, the clarity of color and the luxurious feel of the natural leather.
cooler in hotter climates and warmer in colder climates, compared to many other leathers, this quality makes deerskin an extremely versatile “all-season” choice.
SHEEPSKIN Natural sheepskin is soft, light, extremely warm and exceptionally durable
to abrasion. Weather resistant with great thermal insulation properties even when wet. Light and comfortable.
MICROFIBER Densely woven fine yarns of nylon and/or polyester. Water beads off the surface but allows perspiration to pass through.
PIGSKIN / PIGSUEDE
POLYESTER FLEECE
Soft, highly breathable due to its porous texture, very flexible, great gripping and very durable.
Lightweight, warm, soft napped insulating synthetic hydrophobic fabric. Retains insulating powers even when wet.
TECHNICAL SYNTHETIC FABRICS
STRETCH FLEECE
LEATHER CARE If leather is wet, dry naturally. Keep away from direct or extreme heat. Wash only with mild saddle soap and water. Avoid using any harsh detergent as this removes the natural oils from the skin.
GOATSKIN Specifically tanned for durability, water repellency and suppleness.
GIGATEX Laminated 2 Way stretch nylon - water repellent, breathable, windproof, flexible and highly resistant to abrasion
TASLAN NYLON COWHIDE Cowhide leather is flexible, breathable and supple while conforming to the wearer’s hand. It ages well and lasts up to five times longer than fabric. Extremely tear and puncture resistant, it naturally repels moisture, retains its shape and resists sun and heat damage making it ideal for handwear.
DEERSKIN E xtremely sof t, supple and dur able. Natur ally w ater resistant yet dr ies soft after having been wet. The fiber structure of deerskin leather will stay
102
Extremely durable fabric with polyurethane water repellent coating to enhance seam strength and durability. Nylon dries quickly and washes well.
RIPSTOP NYLON Woven nylon fabr ic using special reinforcing technique that produces a fabric that is extremely resistant to tearing and ripping. Polyurethane coated for water repellency.
NEOPRENE A synthetic rubber material designed to be flexible, resilient and highly resistant
Moisture wicking, resilient stretch. Highly breathable. Performance fit and easy care.
NO-PILL FLEECE Lightweight, warm and soft. Pilling occurs after frequent usage because of friction of the fibers causing the edges to fray. No-pill or anti-pill fleece resists the pilling.
SPANDEX Lightweight, soft. Smooth and supple. Can be stretched repeatedly and still recover to near its original length and shape. Stronger, more durable and higher retractive force than rubber.
SILK Great softness, abrasion resistant and optimal thermal regulation.
WINDBLOCK FABRIC A wind barrier that provides thermal insulation by blocking wind from penetrating though the fabric. Extremely soft and breathable.
LINING BEMBERG FLEECE Ultra-soft, 100% polyester fabric, optimal comfort and additional warmth.
POLYPRO MICROFLEECE Quick-drying, soft, combines warmth and the ability to keep you dry in a low-bulk package.
POLYTEX Woven 4-Way Stretch polyester fabric with very strong water repellent spandex. The elasticity in this product is greatly improved by the special construction of micro fiber spandex in the material. The result is greater freedom of movement and breathability providing the ultimate in fit and comfort.
Due to its low thermal conductivity, polypro possesses high insulating power. Polypro enables the air to become trapped in its tiny apertures, creating the most efficient thermal insulation of any fabric in the marketplace today.
RAGG WOOL Nature’s best performance fiber. Heavy duty, sturdy and warm. Inherent wicking and anti-microbial functionality.
