Technology
Kevlar®
Kevlar® is an aramid fiber with a low specific weight that offers high tensile strength, excellent heat resistance, dimensional stability, and low elongation to break. Kevlar® is chemical-resistant and has outstanding abrasion resistance.
Leather
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).
i-Touch
The i-Touch function makes it possible to operate a smartphone or tablet PC even when wearing gloves.
Nomex
The fibers are characterized by outstanding resistance, great impact strength, great rupture elongation, good vibration damping, and resistance against acids and alkaline solutions. They are also extremely heat and fire resistant. Aramid fibers do not melt at high temperatures; instead, they start to coke at temperatures of approximately 400°C.
