AX® Laredo RPET 

Highlight features

  • Environmentally alternative to leather
  • Highly abrasion-resistant

AX® Laredo RPET 0.75mm is a very durable knitted microsuede and an environmentally friendly proven alternative to leather. The composition of post-consumer recycled polyester, microfiber polyester, and water-based PU are reinforced with a top foil lamination to create a highly abrasion-resistant material with a soft touch and leather look.

AX® Laredo is used for glove palms and has both sustainability and longevity perks. Testing has shown AX® Laredo has improved durability and a lower carbon footprint compared to cow leather, according to HIGG index criteria. AX® Laredo + C0 WR has a Fluorocarbon-free water repellant finish.
