Re: R8 Success Leather, how does it hold up and feel when wet?
It is much more durable than you would think. The leather is impregnated with silicon or something similar that helps it fend off wear and makes it pretty well impervious to water. I’ve used mine in soaking wet weather with no ill effect. But sharp claw like thorns do tear at the surface. I have a few cuts from briars and multi floral rose thorns.

I think the leather gets a little slippery I prefer the rubber inserts.

Those multi floral rose thorns are a killer.stokesrj wrote: ↑Mon May 21, 2018 7:27 pm It is much more durable than you would think.
