These Gauntlet Gloves are made of soft Cowhide. You will love the look and feel of this leather. You will also love the warmth you get from them. We use real "Thinsolate by 3M" in our gloves, not the cheap substitute. In addition to keeping your hands warm, you can keep them dry in for a little extra time by using the rain gear for them, and best of all it is included when you purchase them. Just unzip the handy zipper on the back of the wrist and pull out the rain covers!
