What are the Gold Leaf The Dry Touch gloves like?

Made from a soft, grain leather treated to add water resistance these gloves are fully lined and feel soft and snug inside, particularly in winter. They’re extremely supple and pliant and fit really well, moulding quickly to the hand with a tight fit over the fingers and thumbs that gives great movement and dexterity. They feel very comfortable and the high-quality leather gives them a tough but luxurious touch. The water resistance is good and although they’re not completely waterproof they’ll keep your hands dry through most jobs bar working in the pond. They’re available in two sizes, Ladies and Gents.

Will the Gold Leaf The Dry Touch gloves last?

These leather gloves are sturdy and durable. They dry well when wet and just need hanging up to dry naturally before returning to their original shape. They feel long lasting and tough and should keep your hands dry and snug for a number of seasons.
