Chromium allergy? Don't wear leather clothing

In the competitive world of motorcycle gear, Andromeda Moto stands out for its commitment to innovation, sustainability and the health of our customers. We are the only brand in the market that avoids the use of leather in all of our products.

Our decision to dispense with leather not only responds to a commitment to technology and to stop using animals in the industry, but also to a concern for the adverse effects of chromium and other chemicals used in leather tanning.

Protection and State-of-the-Art Technology

At Andromeda Moto, safety is our priority. Our NearX motorcycle suit, with AAA protection, far exceeds the most stringent industry standards, ensuring superior abrasion, impact and tear resistance. The aerospace fabrics we use (such as UHMWPE, Kevlar or Superfabric) not only ensure exceptional durability, but also provide lightness and flexibility, essential characteristics for optimal performance in a variety of conditions.

In addition to the motorcycle suit, our product line includes other products such as the Neowise cafe racer jacket and the Meteor and Apollo gloves, all designed with the same dedication to safety and comfort.

 

The Hazards of Leather Tanning

The leather industry traditionally uses chromium and other chemicals in the tanning process to improve the durability and flexibility of the material. However, these chemicals can have significant adverse effects on both human health and the environment.

Chromium Allergy

One of the most serious problems associated with the use of chrome-tanned leather is chromium allergy. Chromium allergic contact dermatitis is a condition that affects many people who come into contact with leather products treated with this chemical. Symptoms of this allergy include redness, swelling, itching and blistering, which can make the use of leather products intolerable for sufferers of this condition.

Environmental Impact

The chrome tanning process also poses serious environmental risks. The waste generated during this process can contaminate water and soil, adversely affecting local ecosystems. Despite advances in waste treatment techniques, chrome tanning remains a practice with significant ecological consequences.

 

Commitment to Sustainability and Health

At Andromeda Moto, we firmly believe that technological innovation and sustainability can go hand in hand. By choosing not to use leather in any of our products, we are not only eliminating the use of animal-derived fabrics, but also minimizing our environmental impact. The aerospace-derived fabrics we use not only offer exceptional protection and durability, but also represent a more ethical and sustainable alternative to traditional leather.

Many of our customers have found Andromeda Moto to be the ideal solution to their needs.
