Genuine leather gloves are gloves made of animal leather such as cowhide, goatskin, pigskin, and sheepskin. Because they are cut and sewn from a whole piece of leather, they can lock in warmth and are one of the more commonly used materials for winter warm gloves.

Leather gloves are warmer than wool gloves because of the unique properties of leather. Leather is a naturally insulating material that provides excellent protection against the cold. Leather is also more wind-resistant than wool, making it a great choice for outdoor activities and cold weather conditions.

Breathability: Fleece is generally more breathable than wool, which can be beneficial during activities that generate heat and moisture. However, this can also mean that fleece might not retain warmth as effectively as wool in extremely cold conditions.

INSULATION: Winter gloves need to be well insulated. Stick to options preferably made out of fabrics like polyester or nylon to help manage moisture. For particularly cold climates, some gloves also have special liners with reflective heat technology like Omni-Heat™ Infinity to add extra warmth.

This is tested by stretching the glove material and placing it above a flame for 15 seconds. The time that the heat resistant glove then spends glowing or burning is measured and this is used to determine the flame resistance. This number will be between 1 and 4, with higher numbers being more resistant.
