I was always under the impression goat was a more premium leather than cow hide because for it's thickness (which is generally thinner) it's just as strong and tough as cow hide.. this is the first I am hearing that cow leather out-does goat. Also, as sort of a dark-horse concept... Klim Mohave gloves are leather construction, have padded knuckles and are surprisingly comfy for the price. I get they are more adv/dual sport but I have a pair of leather gloves, Five Kansas and these don't feel that much less protective.
So don’t eat your gloves until they’ve completely off-gassed, give it a couple weeks before you dig in. Fava beans and a nice Chianti will pair well with most leathers, but you’ll want to stick to a Guinness and Dal if goat is on the menu.
Yeah CA passed something a whileee ago that companies had to put a warning label for literally ANY trace amounts of carcinogens. Hence, why the warning label to CA residents specifically is almost on everything.
