Kangaroo skin is reputed to make good gloves - haven't tried them and I may stick to motocross synthetics if I get any of that !

Oviously made from one of those poofy southern elk , Canadian elk are much more resistant to piss taking .

You have wonderfully clean skin pores by the way .

Hell Yes! I bought a pair of Roo Skin Gloves from GLF leathers at Flitwick and had the misfortune to take a slide at 95+mph using my hands (as ya do) to break my fall and 'steady' or try to as I slid along the tarmac on the A5D Southbound...... Dry day, no rain. Knackered bike, knackered leather trousers, knackered leather jacket & Knackered Lid!.....Roo Gloves??? just a scuff........tougher than a tough thing, I recccomend them.

at 125 quid they were not cheap, BUT that is peanuts compared to losing the skin on yer hands. Oh yeah, & they were as supple as silk, could feel everything, even rake in my pocket for loose change with em on.
