The grade or quality of leather is usually indicative of appearance and not glove-wearing quality. The wearing quality, like softness and toughness, is generally determined by the weight.
FULL GRAIN
A soft and subtle hide ofter taken from the upper section. These hides are not buffed or sanded which means the grain remains in its natural state allowing best fiber strength and durability along with better breathability.
TOP GRAIN
Unlike the name this is not the highest quality. Slight imperfections where a deer or lamb may have rubbed against a branch could be on the leather. Hence this leather is often stamped with a grain, often to imitate peccary leather which has a natural course grain apperarance. The major advantages over a full grain hide is its price plus Top Grain has a greater resistance to stains
SPLIT LEATHER
Often used to make suede. It is taken from the fibrous underlayer that is found once the top grain has been removed. There are variety of techniques to make a split leather look full-grain. One way is to apply a leather finish to one side of the split leather which is then pressed together through rollers giving the aperance of a full grain. A full grain if lightly scratched will leave a lighter coloured streak.
HAND PROTECTION with KEVLAR®
5–6 TIMES STRONGER than steel wire and twice as strong as ordinary nylon fiber on a strength-to-weight ratio.
DuPont™ Kevlar® is an organic fiber in the aromatic polyamide family. The unique properties and distinct chemical composition of wholly aromatic polyamides (aramids) distinguish them – and especially Kevlar® – from other commercial, man-made fibers.
Kevlar® has a unique combination of high strength, high modulus, toughness and thermal stability. It was developed for demanding industrial and advanced-technology applications. Currently, many types of Kevlar® are produced to meet a broad range of end uses.
Aves Cut-Resistant products are extensively used in industrial, construction and food processing markets.
