Product Information
Full details
The Roeckl Malta Winter Gloves are designed for adult equestrian riders who require a balance between thermal insulation and high-performance tactile feedback. By utilizing proprietary ROECK-GRIP technology combined with a soft Micro Bemberg lining, these gloves provide a 'second-skin' fit that ensures stable contact with the reins even in colder temperatures; however, they are intended for winter riding conditions and may prove too warm for intense activity during peak summer months.

FAQs
Are these gloves touchscreen compatible?
While the focus is on rein grip, the material is thin and flexible, but they are not explicitly marketed as having specialized touchscreen-conductive fingertips.
How do I choose the correct size?
Refer to the Roeckl sizing chart by measuring the circumference of your hand at the widest point just below the knuckles.
Can I machine wash these gloves?
It is highly recommended to hand wash these gloves to maintain the integrity of the specialized seams and the Micro Bemberg lining.
Are these gloves waterproof?
The ROECK-GRIP material is breathable and designed for comfort, but they are not waterproof; they are intended for cold, dry, or light damp conditions.
What is the primary difference between these and summer gloves?
The Malta Winter version includes a soft, laminated Micro Bemberg lining for added thermal retention that is absent in standard summer-weight ROECK-GRIP models.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too tight during initial wear
The ROECK-GRIP material is designed to be elastic and will slightly conform to your hand shape with minimal usage; ensure you have the correct size before proceeding.
Loss of grip on reins
Gently clean the palms with a slightly damp cloth to remove any accumulated dust or horsehair, which can create a slick surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Roeckl Malta Winter Gloves, refer to the manufacturer's care guidelines. Because these are precision-sewn with sensitive materials, it is recommended to hand wash them in lukewarm water with a mild detergent when necessary. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can compromise the grip properties of the synthetic leather. When drying, lay the gloves flat away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the material from becoming brittle. Ensure your size is confirmed via the manufacturer's sizing chart, as the 'second-skin' design relies heavily on a snug fit around the palm and fingers.
