What Are My Options for Non-Waterproof Gloves?
• Polyester/Cotton – Poly/cotton blends are commonly used in string knit gloves because
of their comfort, durability and excellent laundering characteristics. By mixing polyester with cotton, shrinkage can be minimized.
• Kevlar® – Kevlar is a man-made organic fiber developed for use in high performance applications. The par-aramid fiber has a high-resistance to cuts and slashes which makes
it ideal for use in applications where sharp objects are being used. The high tensile strength and low weight of Kevlar makes it durable yet lightweight to wear. Kevlar is flame resistant, self-extinguishes, and can be used in elevated temperatures.
• Blended Kevlar/Cotton/Polyester – As gloves are knit, Kevlar is mechanically blended on the outside of the gloves to provide cut protection. Only a few Kevlar threads are woven into the cotton and polyester threads that are used on the inside to provide a very comfortable protective-glove material.
• Leather – Leather is the hide, or skin of an animal. The most widely used leather for gloves is cowhide. Other leathers used are pigskin, goat skin and deerskin. Leather is used because it offers abrasion resistance, is flexible, and allows air through its pores. Hides are processed in tanneries by applying chrome sulfate and bichromate of potash (the reason they are called "chrome tanned”) along with coloring agents. After processing, the hides are split. The durability of leather is in direct proportion to its thickness, not to its location on the animal. Hides are separated as follows:
Grain Leather – The leather is in the outer, or hair, side of the hide.
It is split off the side or belly. Side grain has few cosmetic blemishes.
It varies in thickness and is supple. The leather is generally used in
garments. Belly grain are small hides that are consistent in thickness Shoulder Shoul r and have a good feel.
Split Leather – A split is the under portion of a skin or hide. Hides are usually split three or more times. This split may be from the shoulder, side or belly. The shoulder split is the neck portion of the hide. This split is more consistent in thickness and is relatively free from blemishes. The
belly split, or underside portion of the hide, has very good tensile strength.
