Technologies

Material names matter only when they are matched to the intended sport, construction and approved sample.

BURTONO reviews the material system around performance, hand feel, target cost and production requirements for each qualified OEM/ODM project.

Brand references identify material options available for project review. They do not imply a direct partnership, universal availability or use in every BURTONO glove. Exact grade, sourcing, documentation and permitted brand use are confirmed before production.

Selection process

From a Material Name to an Approved Construction

  1. 01

    Define the use

    Confirm the sport, climate, protection target, hand feel, market position and expected quantity.

  2. 02

    Review the construction

    Compare practical material and layer directions against the product brief and target cost.

  3. 03

    Approve the physical sample

    Lock the exact grade, placement and construction only after the buyer reviews the sample.
