Materials
- Leather: Traditionally made from leather (sheepskin, goatskin, cowhide), offering durability, protection, and a classic aesthetic. Often used in formal wear, motorcycle gloves, and industrial applications.
- Textiles: Common materials include cotton, polyester, nylon, spandex, and blends. Provide varying levels of comfort, flexibility, and protection. Used in fashion, gardening, cleaning, and light industrial tasks.
- Rubber/Latex/Nitrile: Offer impermeability and chemical resistance. Used in medical, laboratory, and cleaning applications.
- Neoprene: Provides insulation and protection against water and certain chemicals. Used in diving, industrial work, and some medical applications.
- Specialty Fabrics: Kevlar, carbon fiber, and other high-performance fabrics are used for gloves requiring high cut, heat, or abrasion resistance.
Purpose and Function
- Protection: Shield hands from abrasion, cuts, punctures, heat, cold, chemicals, and biological hazards.
