Synthetic materials

Synthetic materials offer the advantage of greater choice of colours and versatility. They are washable and colour-fast, usually more comfortable, flexible and durable. They retain their flexibility after being exposed to wet and damp, unlike most leather gloves. Synthetic materials are also always tested for hidden faults insuring that quality is maintained.
