Leather » Sidewall® - Leatherface

Traditional leather work gloves have never quite fit right, with up to 11 seams that rub and annoy. The design of Superior's Sidewall® gloves changes that with just one bomb-proof seam. Combining leather palms with a seamless knit shell that will conform to your own hand shape and using THT™ (true hand technology) adds a level of comfort and dexterity that is unparalleled.

Do more layers equal more protection?
Construction in the palm area of leather gloves leads to some misconceptions. When sizing up gloves in a catalog, it is tempting to believe – based on appearance alone – that a patch palm is going to double your protection. To the uninitiated, palm patches would seem to offer greater protection, as the double palm looks like it would give twice the protection in that area.
The reality with most patch-palm leather glove styles is that the patch exists as a kind of bridge between two pieces of leather to create a full palm. This enables the glove manufacturer to maximize use of the full hide by using up all the smaller leftover pieces.
