Tuff Mate Cutting Horse Gloves are generally made from natural leathers. While leather offers some natural resistance to light moisture, these gloves are typically not designed or advertised as being fully waterproof or highly water-resistant.
Here's what you should know:
-
Natural Leather: Leather can repel a small amount of water, but prolonged exposure to moisture will cause it to absorb water, become stiff when it dries, and potentially degrade over time if not properly cared for.
-
Purpose: Tuff Mate Cutting Horse Gloves are primarily designed for grip, dexterity, and protection during horseback riding and driving, especially in cutting and ranch work. Their focus is on durability and tactile feel for handling reins and ropes.
-
Care: To maintain their quality and longevity, leather gloves generally require proper care, which includes allowing them to dry naturally if they get wet and potentially conditioning the leather.
If you need gloves that are genuinely water-resistant or waterproof for wet conditions, you would typically look for materials like synthetic fabrics with waterproof membranes (e.g., Gore-Tex) or specially treated leathers.
