FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for all equestrian disciplines?
Yes, the classic design and secure grip make them suitable for a wide range of equestrian disciplines, including dressage, show jumping, and general riding.
How do I ensure I select the correct size?
Refer to the Equetech sizing guide or measure your hand circumference and length to compare with the provided size chart for children's UK sizes.
Can these gloves be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather and affect the glove's structure and fit.
How often should I condition the leather?
Condition the leather every few months, or more often if you notice the leather becoming dry or stiff. Adjust frequency based on usage and climate.
What is the main benefit of leather show gloves over synthetic ones?
Leather gloves typically offer a superior feel, better breathability, and a more refined aesthetic. They also tend to mold to the rider's hand over time, providing a custom fit and enhanced grip.
Do these gloves offer any warmth?
These are primarily show gloves designed for grip and feel, not for significant warmth. For cold weather riding, consider specialized winter gloves.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel stiff on first use.
Leather gloves often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the leather to soften and conform to your hand shape.
Grip seems reduced when wet.
Natural leather can be affected by moisture. Ensure gloves are dry before use for optimal grip. Consider a water-resistant leather treatment if frequently competing in damp conditions.
Discoloration on hands after wearing.
This can sometimes occur with new leather dyes. It is usually temporary and can be minimized by ensuring the gloves are fully dry before wearing and by conditioning the leather.
Seams are uncomfortable.
Check that the size is correct. If the seams are causing discomfort, try wearing thin liner gloves underneath or continue with the break-in period.

Care Instructions:

- Drying: If the gloves become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can dry out and crack the leather.

- Storage: Store the gloves in a cool, dry place, ideally in a breathable pouch, to maintain their shape and condition.
