How easily does the leather get damaged? I snowboard and ski, and I'm a little leery about throwing grabs into that soft leather.

The leather is tougher than I expected it to be. I've had a big ice bit for a drill spin up in my hand while wearing a pair of hestra's [forgot to lock out the trigger] and it barely tore up the leather. I'm a ski patroller and my gloves have seen some pretty rugged use over the past two seasons. The leather is a little dirty, but it's still in good condition. I wouldn't worry about tearing them up throwing grabs, I've never had that issue with mine when I decide to throw down in the park.
