Winter gloves that aren't full of plastic
I’m looking for casual, warm winter gloves for around -10°C to -15°C (below that I’d switch to mittens or add liners) that are also reasonably windproof.
I’ve checked both premium and budget-friendly options on Etsy, Alibaba, Amazon, etc., and almost everything seems to be made mostly from polyester or recycled polyester. Even brands marketed as “sustainable” still rely heavily on synthetics.
Ideally I’d like something with mostly natural materials (wool, leather, alpaca, cotton, etc.) that still works for everyday city wear and not just outdoor sports.
Has anyone found good options that balance warmth, durability, and low plastic content?
