Kangaroo leather is an exotic leather in many countries. In Australia, where the animals naturally occur, the leather is as "normal" as deerskin in northern Europe and northern America. Kangaroos are not bred. By the reduction of the natural enemies, the number of the depth increases so that they are hunted. In Australia, the meat is more processed into dog food. However, a large part of the meat is exported and is popular since the BSE crisis and because of the low fat content.
Kangaroo meat is tasty and low in fat.
Kangaroo leather is considered to be very tear resistant and can be thinned and lighter than cow leather with the same stability. Their average thickness is 1 millimetre. Compared to cattle leather with a thickness of 1.2 mm to 1.4 mm, they are almost twice as strong. These properties are due to very strong skin fibre crosslinking.
Kangaroos are often used for leather gloves, shoes and boots, but also for motorcycle suits. They are usually chromium-tanned and optically almost do not differ from cow leather.
Complete skin of the kangaroo. - Pores of the skin.
The Copa Mundial is a soccer shoe from Adidas and has been produced since 1979. It is the most sold football shoe in the world. The upper material of the Copa consists of kangaroo leather.
