Cowhide gloves are strong and durable, which have good wear resistance, and are more scratch-resistant. This type of gloves is not only suitable for heavy labor protection, but also one of the driving gloves and warmer gloves. However, compared with other leather gloves, cowhide gloves are thicker, so they may not be flexible enough.
