GORE-TEX® gloves provide protection against heat, flame, liquids and abrasion while ensuring you still have the tactility necessary to do your job. GORE-TEX® gloves with Gore grip technology are recommended when improved breathability and tactility is required. The GORE-TEX® insert also offers protection against burns caused by superheated steam, provides splash protection against certain chemicals (acc. to EN 659) and keeps the glove´s insulation dry.

For over 5.000 years leather has been used to make clothes, and that material has lost none of its appeal to this day. Experienced glove makers recognise the strengths and benefits of their craft’s most important basic material and perfectly know how to work with it. ESKA only uses high quality leather and in the case of street gloves, particularly soft and supple hides which envelop your hands like a second skin. Glove leather must be prepared soft and supple, reached by a certain greasing which is given into the barrel. The coat for really good glove leather is dyed pure aniline (dyed in the drum, breathable, supple and silky smooth).
Silver fibres are antibacterial (bacteria is eliminated in less than an hour), preventing odour formation. Silver is also temperature-regulating and anti-static.
