Product Insights
Shell 1 is 100% leather; Shell 2, cuff and lining are 100% polyester; the membrane is 100% polyurethane; insulation is 100% polyester. Auclair's men's chart maps Medium to 190–200 mm hand length and 205–230 mm circumference, Large to 200–210 mm length and 230–240 mm circumference, and X-Large to 210–220 mm length and 240–255 mm circumference; if length and circumference disagree, hand length wins. Midweight 3M Thinsulate CE insulation plus a soft brushed fleece lining target cold-weather warmth for active work and mountain days. PFAS-free DWR is applied to both the calfskin leather and the rugged fabric inserts, though a suede patch overlay on the palm is the least water-resistant area. No cut-resistant liner is mentioned; leather gloves without a liner offer only minor cut and scrape protection. Flat 75 CAD across Medium, Large and X-Large, with no larger-size upcharge and no saving from sizing down.

- size_range
- Available in Medium, Large and X-Large
- fit_sizing
- Auclair's men's chart maps Medium to 190–200 mm hand length and 205–230 mm circumference, Large to 200–210 mm length and 230–240 mm circumference, and X-Large to 210–220 mm length and 240–255 mm circumference; if length and circumference disagree, hand length wins.
- variant_selection
- All three sizes are in stock at the same time and the only colour is Assorted, so size is the sole variant decision; there is no colourway to choose between.
- cuff
- Short stretch rib-knit cuff sits at the wrist rather than as a long gauntlet; it seals out debris and cold air and should be worn under a jacket sleeve so the sleeve hem overlaps the knit.
- materials
- Shell 1 is 100% leather; Shell 2, cuff and lining are 100% polyester; the membrane is 100% polyurethane; insulation is 100% polyester.
- construction
- Smooth calfskin leather covers the palms, finger caps and pull tabs, while striped blue-gray and red polyester fabric forms the back-of-hand panels; black ribbed knit cuffs finish the wrist.
- warmth
- Midweight 3M Thinsulate CE insulation plus a soft brushed fleece lining target cold-weather warmth for active work and mountain days.
- water_resistance
- PFAS-free DWR is applied to both the calfskin leather and the rugged fabric inserts, though a suede patch overlay on the palm is the least water-resistant area.
- care
- Air-dry away from direct heat—never on a radiator or in a dryer—then condition the leather while slightly damp and reapply DWR spray to restore water beading.
- comfort
- One reviewer found them bulky and slightly stiff out of the box and expected a break-in period before they loosen up.
- dexterity
- Designed for dexterity and grip rather than maximum bulk; zippers, straps and larger fasteners are manageable, but a reviewer found them bulky and stiff initially, so fine knot-tying may require break-in.
- durability
- Genuine calfskin leather exterior and rugged fabric inserts are chosen for durability in manual work.
- cut_resistance
- No cut-resistant liner is mentioned; leather gloves without a liner offer only minor cut and scrape protection.
- styling
- Yellow leather palms and caps, muted blue-gray striped fabric back panels with red accents, black ribbed cuffs, leather pull tabs and an embossed Auclair logo create a workwear look.
- use_cases
- Marketed as a crossover glove for demanding manual work and active mountain days, balancing dexterity, grip and warmth.
- value
- Flat 75 CAD across Medium, Large and X-Large, with no larger-size upcharge and no saving from sizing down.
- sustainability
- The 3M Thinsulate insulation is made from 78% recycled polyester.
- audience
- Listed as a men's glove, and the published fit chart is Auclair's men's chart.

Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Work 2.0 Leather Work Gloves: Choose these if you want leather work gloves built for cold-weather tasks: they pair a genuine calfskin leather exterior with rugged fabric inserts, 3M Thinsulate midweight insulation made from 78% recycled polyester, and a soft brushed fleece interior. A PFAS-free durable water-repellent treatment, stretch rib-knit cuff, and included glove clip add everyday practicality. They come in medium, large, and x-large sizes in assorted colors.[1] | Manon Plush Trim Suede Gloves: Choose these if you want a traditional-style suede glove for cold-weather outings: they are made from a single piece of genuine suede leather with an ultra-soft plush (polyester sherpa) cuff, a 100% polyester lining, and a filling of 65% olefin and 35% polyester that customer reviews describe as warm and cozy. Per that reviews analysis, the elegant suede design elevates winter outfits. Note that the sizing reportedly runs small and narrow—medium fits long fingers in length but feels tight, and some reviewers found the gloves much too small—so measure carefully if you have long or wide hands; the listed variant here is size small, in Black or Honey/Camel.[2,3] |
