Midwest Synthetic Leather Palm Gloves













Why Synthetic Leather you may ask?

This question is best answered by stating the problems with real leather or any animal skin gloves or clothing.

One of the biggest problems we have all experienced is Glove Shrinkage whenever a leather glove gets wet... and it takes days to dry out again.

One of the best attributes of Synthetic Leather is - it does not absorb moisture like genuine leather, rawhide, goat skin, or any other kind of animal skin... therefore ... (no shrinkage), (no staying wet for days.

I have found Synthetic Leather is most often tougher and more durable than genuine leather or any kind of animal skin gloves.

Additionally... Synthetic Leather Gloves are usually thinner and more pliable than animal skin gloves... which as we all know makes for better dexterity (too thick or stiff means loss of dexterity).

Midwest Everyday and Driver's Synthetic Gloves feature - Synthetic Leather palm, fourchette fingers, spandex back, reinforced sure grip patch on thumb with a Velcro wrist enclosure.

Midwest Shooter's Camo Woodland Synthetic Gloves feature - Synthetic Leather palm and fingers with sure grip webbing, neoprene knuckle strap, fourchette fingers, Velcro wrist enclosure, hook and D-ring which is designed specifically for shooters.

For me, I will never purchase another pair of genuine leather or any other animal skin gloves or clothing again. Synthetic Leather is that good... and is usually cheaper to boot.
