Material4X® is the designation for synthetic leather developed for the well-known manufacturer of tactical gloves company Mechanix. It is a top-notch material with certain specific properties compared to natural leather. Material4X® leather is primarily more resistant to mechanical influences, better withstanding tearing, abrasion, or puncture, while maintaining the softness and pleasant wearing of natural leather. It is also important to emphasize the ability to machine wash this material, which significantly simplifies glove maintenance.
During the development of the material, attention was paid to maximizing useful properties while maintaining the comfort provided by natural leather. Increased resistance was achieved primarily through the high density of fibers in the material and its uniform thickness. Pleasant wearing is ensured by the softness and flexibility of the material, which was achieved by combining a strong central fiber coated with a mixture of polyester and flexible spandex fiber.
