Description
Canadian Gloves, often known for heavy-duty rigger styles, are primarily constructed from durable natural leather (cowhide, goatskin, deerskin), frequently reinforced with split leather, cotton drill backs, and safety cuffs. They are designed for maximum protection against abrasion, heat, and punctures in construction, forestry, welding, and industrial applications.
Key Materials and Construction:
- Leather: Cowhide, goatskin, and deerskin offer superior abrasion resistance and durability.
- Split Leather: Used for palms and fingertips to provide reinforcement and grip.
- Cotton Drill Backs: Often dyed blue or striped, these allow breathability on the back of the hand.
- Thermal/Safety Lining: Frequently included for insulation against cold or heat.
- Rubber/Nitrile Coatings: Used on some variations for enhanced wet/oily grip.
