Cowhide leather was the obvious choice for rugged winter conditions due to its natural abrasion and puncture resistance. Every product in their SNOW line, including their full leather gloves, undergoes a special tanning process that turns regular leather into water-resistant, breathable, HydraHyde® leather. Best of all, the water-resistant benefits of HydraHyde® last for the lifetime of the glove – Meaning, you’ll never have to remember to purchase balm every season to protect your favorite pair of gloves!
