Sustainable AX Suede Glove Materials
Built stronger, lighter, better.
AX® Suede
Our original suede collection put us on the map as the first material collection made for gloves. We bundled strength, durability, and softness all in one breathable material. There is no more compromise of strength over softness.
For more specialized needs, water-resistance or grip features can be added. Get in on the secret of using the right material for the job.
AX® Grain Tech
AX® Grain Tech materials combine specialty bases with various finishing techniques and processes for a wide range of aesthetics and performance characteristics.
Finishing processes include embossing, release papers, polyurethane, and silicone coating to recreate the look and feel of natural grain leather, but with the lightweight durability, breathability, and dexterity you expect from AX® Materials.
AX® Recycled
AX® Materials is proud to introduce the world’s first range of recycled performance palm suedes. AX® Recycled materials are made from post-recycled water bottles or post-industrial waste. Many classic AX® Materials are made using water-based manufacturing and a solvent-free dye process for a vegan leather replacement that is better for the environment.
The AX® Recycled range features the same advanced features of our original AX® Materials, like high abrasion, dexterity, and durability, but with added recycled content.
As a company that empowers climbers, cyclists, and other natural explorers, AX® is committed to providing the glove industry with synthetic materials that create a safer, cleaner world.
The AX® Recycled material range is offered in a wide array of thicknesses, embossing, colors, and touchscreen connectivity.
AX® Connect
AX® Connect is a range of touch screen compatible materials that can be used from full palm, to finger-tip and thumb applications. The materials feature a range of connectivity levels depending on the application and glove construction. Enjoy reliable interaction with smartphones, tablets, and other touchscreen technologies, while having the look and feel of our suede and grain leather replacements.
