Benefits of Cotton

Image
Greeting from KameLo :) Did you know that KameLo only uses  100% cotton lining in our gloves? Here's a post on the benefits of using cotton fabric. Cotton fabric is breathable and transmits  moisture away from the body. It is absorbent and removes liquid from the skin. Cotton allows you to remain comfortable as you do your activities, keeping moisture from building up between your skin and clothing. Especially with gloves, it is difficult to prevent  perspiration in your hands while you work. That is why we use 100% cotton lining in our gloves to absorb any moisture for the comfort of the worker.

You can rely on it to last a long time. It is easy to wash and care for compared to  other fabrics. KameLo gloves with...
