Hey guys, wondering if anyone knows a similar palm overlay material like spider or dragon? With Pittards being out of business, this stuff is now unobtainable. I’ve used it on a few pairs of gloves and have always enjoyed it. Extremely durable while offering good grip.

Open to suggestions as long as the material is black

Black leather, goat or deer will be the best. .8mm thickness or a bit less will be similar in feel

Thanks. Got a few options it looks like I can go with, but none I'm familiar with:

 

Atomic: that's basically like digital with a different pattern, right?

Goat: straight up leather, no?

Clarino: similar to Nash, right?

[Miller55]

Atomic is very grippy, more than digital.
Goat is indeed just leather.
Clarino is synthetic like Nash, but the texture is a bit different, Nash is softer and clarino is more slick.

Goat is the most similar feel to spyder

Thanks for the clarification

For what it’s worth, I just had a couple gloves repalmed in digital by George’s Hockey Repair in St. Paul. I asked him about the availability of digital and he said he’s got plenty and doesn’t foresee running out anytime soon.

Just noticed you mentioned it having to be black. I don’t believe he’s ever carried black digital
