what is a "permax insert"?

Question

Please refer to
http://www.daddiesboardshop.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=1023
where the description for the gloves says:"Leather hybrid with a leather palm and a Permax insert", can anybody explain to me what the "Permax insert" is?

Answer 1

Permax is a trademarked name for a type of fabric. See here: http://www.lubrizolcoatings.com/TradeName.aspx?site=Coatings&searchValue=47

So the glove you have listed simply has an inner glover that is made out of Permax - probably like having a pipe glove inside the outer shell.
