TYPES OF LEATHER:



Cow leather is the most commonly used type of leather
in welding gloves.
The biggest reason being that it is easy to care for.
It is dirt and water resistant!
It is a great value for its texture, appearance,
durability, and comfort.

Cow leather is mainly used in stick and MIG gloves.





Pigskin is a more dense type of leather
with a soft and supple fee.
It stays soft even after getting wet
and is breathable.

Pigskin is used in stick, MIG, and TIG gloves.





The main characteristic of sheepskin is that
they're extremely soft and comfortable.
It is lightweight and delicate.
They're suitable for gloves that require
more dexterity and flexibility in the hands.

Sheepskin is used in TIG welding gloves.





Goatskin is slightly softer and 
tougher than cow leather.
It is also flexible and water resistant.
They're economical, strong, and durable with a 
smooth fine grain.

Goatskin is used in TIG welding gloves.





Deerskin is one of the softest leathers available
in the leather market.
It stays soft even after getting wet like pig leather.

Deerskin is mainly used in TIG welding gloves.





Buffaloskin has superior abrasion resistance,
is extremely durable, rugged, and strong.

They're used when gloves require strong resistance to abrasion,
such as sanding gloves.





Last but not least,
horseskin is tough and durable,
but at the same, they're comfortable when worn.
