Product Information
Full details
These Shires Aubrion PU riding gloves are designed for adult unisex riders seeking a stylish, functional, and easy-to-care-for essential. The key benefit is a secure grip and comfortable fit that enhances connection with your horse, even in wet conditions, with the added convenience of touchscreen compatibility. A potential caveat is that while they are made from faux leather, they may not offer the same long-term durability or break-in feel as genuine leather for very demanding use. Key features include non-slip synthetic leather, a comfortable light stretch, gusseted wrist openings with touch-close fastenings, reinforced riding grips, and touchscreen-compatible fingertips.

FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for cold weather riding?
These gloves are primarily designed for grip and control in a range of conditions. While they offer some protection from the elements, they are not insulated for extreme cold. For very cold weather, consider an insulated glove.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Shires or your retailer. Generally, measure the circumference of your hand at the widest point (excluding the thumb) and the length from the base of your palm to the tip of your middle finger.
Can I wash these gloves in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these gloves. Hand washing with a mild detergent and cold water, followed by air drying, is the best method to preserve the material and grip.
Will the faux leather crack or peel over time?
Proper care and maintenance will help prolong the life of the faux leather. Avoid excessive heat and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can degrade synthetic materials.
How does the close contact design benefit my riding?
The close contact design minimizes bulk between your hand and the reins, allowing for more sensitive and precise communication with your horse. This can lead to finer aids and a better connection.
Are these gloves waterproof?
While the synthetic leather offers some resistance to moisture and the DuraGrip performs well in wet conditions, the gloves are not fully waterproof. They are water-resistant and designed to maintain grip even when damp.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too tight or restrictive.
Ensure the touch-close fastening is adjusted correctly. If the gloves are new, they may need a short break-in period. Try gently stretching them by hand before wearing.
Touchscreen functionality is not working.
Ensure the glove tips are clean and dry. Try pressing firmly on the screen. If issues persist, the touchscreen sensitivity of your device might be low, or the specific glove tip may have a slight variation.
Grip on reins feels less secure after use.
Clean the DuraGrip palm and finger areas with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or oils that might be hindering the grip. Ensure the gloves are fully dry before use.
Fastenings are not holding securely.
Check the touch-close fastening for any debris or lint that might be preventing it from adhering properly. Clean both the hook and loop sides gently.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent grip in both wet and dry conditions due to DuraGrip technology.
- Comfortable and flexible fit thanks to the light stretch material.
- Convenient touchscreen compatibility for using smartphones or tablets.
- Easy to clean and maintain due to the synthetic leather construction.
- Stylish appearance suitable for competition and everyday riding.
- Secure and adjustable fit with touch-close fastenings.
Cons
- May not offer the same premium feel or long-term durability as genuine leather.
- Synthetic materials can sometimes be less breathable than natural leather.
- Reinforced grips might feel slightly stiff initially for some users.
- Touchscreen sensitivity can vary depending on the device and user interaction.
- The 'faux leather' aspect might be a drawback for riders preferring natural materials.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These gloves require no specific setup. Simply put them on and adjust the touch-close fastening at the wrist for a secure fit.
Compatibility: The touchscreen-compatible tips are designed to work with most modern capacitive touchscreens. Performance may vary slightly based on individual device sensitivity and how the glove tip interacts with the screen.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a mild soap and water solution, then rinse thoroughly.
- Drying: Air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight. Do not tumble dry.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a glove bag or laid flat to maintain their shape. Avoid folding them tightly, which can cause creases in the synthetic leather.
