Organic, Highly Breathable Winter Gloves

Written by

Born in Extreme Nature. Built for Real Life. Made in Mongolia
Check on Kickstarter

Handcrafted in the spiritual land of Mongolia, these gloves are made from SARLAG (Yak) leather, one of the most resilient natural leathers on Earth. This is not mass production. This is authenticity, heritage, and purpose, stitched by hand and built to last a lifetime.


Made entirely from organic, sustainably sourced materials, our winter gloves deliver exceptional strength, breathability, and long-lasting durability, designed for everyday use in the harshest winter conditions.

Once again, we return to the incredible Kickstarter community to bring back our most successful campaign ever: highly breathable, organic winter gloves made from rare yak leather and wool.

SARLAG yaks survive Mongolia’s extreme climate hot summers and brutally cold winters at altitudes above 3,000 meters, where temperatures drop as low as -50°C.

Their natural hide has evolved to withstand these extremes, resulting in a leather that is:

* Exceptionally strong

* Naturally breathable

* Soft, flexible, and abrasion-resistant

* Suitable for true multi-season use

We use this resilient leather to create gloves that age beautifully, grow softer with time, and are designed for a lifetime of wear, just like the SARLAG themselves.

What True Luxury Means to Us

We believe true luxury is built with purpose.

That’s why we source only the tarest sustainable yak leather and undyed yak wool, purchased directly from nomadic herders in Western Mongolia’s outer plains. Every material is ethically sourced, naturally processed, and deeply respectful of the land, the animals, and the people.

Our products do not pill.

They do not fall apart.

They improve with age.


Each glove offers warmth, elegance, and a perfect fit, whether you’re commuting, riding a motorcycle, driving, or walking outdoors in winter conditions.

 “Luxury should feel good. Luxury should do good, for the world and for humanity.”

Why 100% Yak (SARLAG) Leather?

Yak leather is unlike any other leather in the world.

Because of the nature of the hide, each piece has a unique character, with visible natural markings that cannot be replicated. Its rugged, aged appearance reflects authenticity—not perfection.

Key benefits of SARLAG leather:

* Naturally breathable

* Remarkably soft hand-feel

* Excellent stretch and recovery

* Three times tougher than ordinary leather

* Thin, compact collagen fibers for superior strength

* Lightweight without sacrificing performance

These unique qualities are what protect the SARLAG in Mongolia’s extreme summers and winters and now, they protect your hands.

How to Select Your Size

Over the past few years, we have been working to improve the sizing and fit of our gloves according to standards. To find your correct size, please refer to the size chart below.

Determining the proper glove size is simple—all you need is the circumference of your hand. The remaining proportions of your hand typically scale accordingly. When measuring, place the tape around the widest part of your hand (excluding the thumb). Make sure the tape is not too tight, as this may result in choosing a size that is too small.

Below is an example measurement guide for MEN and WOMEN.

Our sizing chart will then indicate your perfect size. leather glove sizes are usually given in numerical numbers. To make things easier, we also included the respective S,M,L sizes BOTH MEN and WOMEN. In case your measurement should fall between two sizes, we recommend rounding off to the nearest half or full size. Please note that women’s and men’s gloves are not cut the same way and will differ in terms of finger diameter and elasticity. In case you still have any questions regarding your glove size, just send us an email and we’ll send you further information.

OUR BACKERS TESTIMONIALS

Why we use the leather?

We believe in a world where land, animals and people are cherished, nurtured and respected.  As we face new, previously unimaginable challenges –  losing the civilization, destroying the nature etc, we must ensure that our earth going a right way to keep balance of the Nature including Modern world.

As a ordinary citizen of the world, I understand that we must save the balance of nature no matter where you live and how you live. Every small impacts will bring huge difference.

It’s our main PHILOSOPHY.

The SARLAG is a remarkable animal that lives in highest region Western part of Mongolia, an area where few other animals can survive. It thrives in the harsh conditions of the wild and mountainous landscape.

 NATURAL MATERIALS directly from HERDERS

As a couple, we founded this social business together—working hand in hand with the herders of the Khangai and Altai mountains in Western Mongolia. Our mission is to create high-quality, sustainable fashion while supporting the livelihoods of these nomadic communities Mongolia is one of the coldest countries in the world. In the western part of Mongolia, weather conditions can vary considerably, reaching extreme lows of -40 to -60°C! I often visit our herder communities living at altitudes above 3000 meters.

“Defining true sustainability with our herders—In June 2024, our Kickstarter backers traveled to western Mongolia to experience the nomadic culture and way of life.” 13 days and 12 nights trip done from 4 countries in the world.
