Leather work gloves continue to be among the most widely used solutions across many professional sectors. Their ability to combine durability, comfort, tactile sensitivity, and long service life makes them ideal for manual tasks where protecting the hands without restricting movement is essential.

However, not all leather gloves are the same. Materials, construction, and technical details can affect performance and make one model more suitable than another depending on the type of work. Understanding these differences helps identify the most appropriate protective equipment for specific operational needs.

Why choose leather work gloves

Leather is one of the most widely used materials for manufacturing work gloves, thanks to its natural properties.

In addition to offering good abrasion resistance and effective protection during manual tasks, it provides excellent flexibility and a comfortable fit, gradually adapting to the shape of the hand during use.

The most common types include full-grain leather, valued for its softness, elasticity, and tactile sensitivity, and split leather, known for its greater robustness and wear resistance. Some models combine these two materials to make the most of their respective qualities, offering an ideal balance between comfort and durability.

Which model should you choose?

The VAM range includes several leather work gloves designed to meet specific professional needs.

GRAIN SKIN: the versatile glove for everyday tasks

GRAIN SKIN is a classic driver glove made entirely from premium full-grain cowhide leather, designed to provide an excellent balance of protection, comfort, and tactile sensitivity.

The full-grain leather offers softness, elasticity, and high abrasion resistance, while the elastic wrist ensures a secure fit throughout use.

It is particularly suitable for:

• material handling;
• maintenance;
• carpentry;
• woodworking;
• construction;
• agriculture;
• logistics.

Thanks to its versatility, it is an excellent choice for professionals looking for a single glove suitable for a wide range of daily tasks.

GRAIN SKIN FORCE: designed for more demanding applications

This design improves durability in the areas most exposed to wear, helping to extend the glove’s service life even during intensive use.

While offering increased robustness, it retains the key benefits of full-grain leather:
