What is Split Suede leather?
Suede is made from the corium, a sub-layer of leather. First, a full grain leather hide is split in two parts, the suede being the underside. This procedure creates a thin, soft, flexible leather. The leather is then 'sanded' which creates the soft and fuzzy texture that is a key characteristic of suede.
Benefits of suede: flexibility, softness, breathability, durability.
The Go Rain Max article is a premium suede leather for shoes, bags, jackets, and accessories.
Water resistant: Go Rain and other articles are water resistant. Air can pass through, but water cannot.
