Goatskin Shell

Tougher than deerskin and more flexible than cowhide, goatskin is built to endure without compromising comfort or dexterity. Naturally water-resistant, it ages beautifully, gaining patina through use.

Full Shearling Lining

Double-faced shearling, leather with the wool still attached, traps heat while allowing airflow to regulate temperature. Soft against the skin, It wicks moisture better than synthetics, keeping hands dry through long days outside.

Waterproof Hipora® Membrane

A Hipora® membrane is sits between the goatskin shell and shearling lining. Fully waterproof, it keeps rain, snow, and slush out while allowing moisture to escape, ensuring your hands stay dry and comfortable whatever the weather.

Make Them Yours

Our Story

Inspired by the rugged life of mountain workers, Rue Gear began with a discovery: my grandfather’s time-worn, shearling-lined deerskin gloves, faithful companions through harsh Bavarian winters. These gloves weren’t just practical; they were enduring symbols of craftsmanship and character, shaped by countless adventures.

After discovering them, I searched for a modern equivalent, only to find mass-produced, synthetic designs that lacked soul and the connection to natural materials adventurers have relied on for centuries.

Rue Gear was born from that gap, a desire to make gear worth cherishing. Gloves that age beautifully, withstand years of use, and carry your story in every crease.

Our mission is simple, craft gear that becomes part of your story. Made to last. Impossible to replace.
