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.

yea it's nothing new... goat skin was the ish with the cheaper brands made in the Middle East for a while.:idk:

roo leather is what you want.

I thought goat skin was for good condoms?

yea they've been using them in China and India for centuries...

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.

Thats off the MotoGP tag from my jacket.

Never knew Kangaroo was used in gear.....

It was a joke based on China and India's population....

well, if they are fucking goats, they shouldn't have a problem.:D

Actually, they should start fucking goats to get their populations in check!:lol:

:lol: :lol:

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.
