or maybe \"skin\"

both \"wool\" and \"skin\" are used in protectors as the ones mentioned above.

I think it´s a version of "con su salero" in my dictionary(COLLINS) it says salero is "salina" in the cono sur -then it also says salina is equivalent to salera... I looked it up because it sounded right in the context .probably a complete faux pas on my part!
