Anyone notice wierd materials on the labels of their gear? I was just looking at one label that lists Cowhide leather, KANGAROO leather and polyester.

Kangaroo leather!

Roo leather is some of the best for comfort and protection. Different qualities and types of leather are used by different brands to hit different price points.

Goat innards are for condoms.

I have some roo gloves, and they are awesome.
It is more resitant to abrasion, so the thickness can be thinner than cow, so you can feel more and the product is much lighter.

Hubby has a pair of gloves with Kangaroo on them. They are really nice and soft but unfortunately he doesn't really like them, after I paid too damn much money for them.

What kind of gloves, what size, and does he want to sell them?

Held has a few high dollar gloves with Stingray Skin. It's weird, pebbled stuff that you REALLY don't want against your paint.

I don't know if I would want something like that. It's very abrasive like sandpaper or worse. It's just like shark skin and if you go against the grain, it can cut you.
