Laredo

There’s leather, and then there’s Laredo.

Developed as a direct alternative to goat and grain leather, this material boasts comparable dexterity, exceptional durability, and significant sustainability benefits.

Laredo quickly became a top-selling material for AX® and has been used to replace leather in the work, tactical, motorcycle, outdoor, ski/snowboard, and lifestyle markets (just to name a few!).

Engineered touchscreen compatibility means you can use your device without removing your gloves (an added perk during extreme conditions), and its C0 Water Resistance chemistry delivers a PFC-free material without a decrease in performance.

Laredo seamlessly combines innovation, sustainability, and dexterity to provide the grip, feel, and feedback needed for your adventures.
