Sailing

Pittards sailing glove leather has been specially developed to respond to the highest degree of performance required for the 2000 - 2001 BT Global Challenge yacht race.

This goat leather offers exceptional characteristics:

Sea water resistance

A permanent water resistant structure which guarantees excellent water repellency while retaining its outstanding sensitivity and suppleness.

Abrasion resistance

Pittards goat leather has been designed with improved abrasion resistance in all weather conditions.

Dry-soft

While ordinary leather tends to dry hard, Pittards sailing leather remains soft despite constant soaking with sea water and subsequent drying out.

Grip variants

Pittards leather retains its unrivalled grip and sensitivity, even in extremely wet conditions, which makes it an instant success amongst sailing crews.

Breathability

Although water resistant, Pittards leather still breathes normally to provide ultimate comfort.

After 30,000 miles of strenuous treatment, Pittards sailing gloves show signs of wear and tear. However, they have undoubtedly demonstrated their superb performance benefits against the toughest conditions.

Chris Broadway, crew member on board TeamSpirIT, praised Pittards sailing glove leather.

"I have found the glove's protection, comfort and wind resistance very good. The gloves also dry soft, that's a real benefit."
