Winter motorcycle gloves TEXTILE

(location: Germany) are there ANY decent, affordable winter gloves WITHOUT leather? I can't seem to find any in the shops that I frequent. i think so far i found one pair that wasn't in the shop when i went there.

https://andromedamoto.com/products/meteor-winter-gloves always nice to run into another vegan motorcycle rider 😉
- I am so anxious coming from Reddit where it was always a risk statig that I'm vegan. Happy it's more friendly here 😊
  
  Eh there's still assholes here it just gets called out easier here.
  
  I'm just glad there's enough vegan motorcyclists out there to sustain a store 😁🐇🌱
Curious: why no leather? Is it for the rain? (I’m from Australia so I don’t have any really warm gloves)
- don't know about OP, but I'd also like to know of some winter gloves because I'm vegan and don't really want to buy/wear any leather
  
  I hope you saw the comment on here about the Andromeda gloves.
  
  Jup, same reason
It looks like they all at least have leather on the palm for grip.
- That's what I see. But winter/snow gloves are usually full textile
  
  I believe the leather is there to provide additional grip. Unlike regular cold weather gloves, motorcycle gloves that palm grip is critical to safe operation. I remember seeing some gloves that had a rubber/silicone type palm coating, but I can't seem to find them anywhere.
