Aware that the use of leather is sensitive for consumers, it's worth explaining why this material is so relevant for its use in gloves and mittens. We're well aware that this material comes from an animal. But deerskin leather, if sourced responsibly, is not farmed for slaughter. These are hides recovered from the fruits of sport and subsistence hunting. And this leather has incredible characteristics for cold-weather use.
It's not for nothing that First Nations people have been using it since time immemorial.

Unlike a synthetic material, deerskin leather ensures great durability and longevity for your accessory. This contributes to making it an item with a better ecological footprint for the environment. Indeed, positioned at strategic wear points on gloves and mittens, deerskin leather will make any accessory more durable. What's more, it's much more supple than other types of leather, making it more comfortable to wear and more likely to protect your hands than leather that's too stiff and reduces your ability to move.

Finally, you need to ask yourself what you're going to use your winter accessories for. If you're just going in and out, you probably don't need the same protection against the cold as the person who's going to spend the day outdoors for a winter activity. But if you're going to be playing outside for a long time, choosing deerskin leather for your gloves and mittens is a smart, responsible and excessively comfortable choice! So go ahead, guilt-free, and make the most of the cold weather, while being well protected and at the top of your comfort game!
