How can one material do it all? The answer lies within AX Rivolta – the most versatile material in the AX Materials range. Designed to adapt to any glove in any industry, you can always count on this winner to get it done: performance, protection, and comfort at a price you won’t believe.
Unlike standard nylon non-woven materials, Rivolta can withstand persistent wear and tear, making it a reliable choice for daily use in tough settings. With its long-lasting performance, Rivolta eliminates the frustration of gloves that shed, break down, or completely wear out after just a week.
With grip features built right in, this material eliminates the need for additional grip add-ons like silicone prints or overlays. Brands trust Rivolta to maintain superior traction on its own, which means lower costs and fewer steps in the manufacturing process.
Rivolta’s origins in Vietnam also offer brands a valuable opportunity to diversify manufacturing and use a local material source.
Customizable add-ons include touchscreen compatibility, recycled content, CDP color options, and PFC-free C0 WR, so you can find the version of Rivolta that meets your specific needs. This gives you all of the non-negotiable benefits of durable palm suede at a cost that’s really worth it.
