Gear materials

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.
