White gloves are a fine, 13-gauge knit, made with lint-free, continuous-filament Dyneema.Dyneema is 15 times stronger than steel on an equal-weight basis, and has a high coefficient of friction, making the surface of the knit slippery. To counter this, we've added a lightweight, non-shedding coat of polyurethane to the palm, for great grip that does not impede touch sensitivity.Dyneema is a registered trademark of Royal DSM N.V Gloves are both washable and can be bleached, at cold temperatures only.
