FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for competitive showing?
Yes, they provide a professional appearance and are suitable for most disciplines, though check with your specific governing body's attire regulations.
Can I use these with touchscreens?
While not explicitly branded as touchscreen-compatible, the lightweight material often allows for basic touchscreen interaction, though precision may vary.
Are they waterproof?

How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the manufacturer's size chart and measure the widest part of your hand to ensure the best fit.
Can I tumble dry them?

Troubleshooting
Gloves are losing grip over time
Grip materials can accumulate dust and skin oils; wash the gloves following the care instructions to restore the tackiness.
Material snagging or pilling
Avoid handling sharp metal grooming tools or hook-and-loop fasteners while wearing the gloves to maintain the mesh fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your HKM Grip Mesh Riding Gloves, follow these basic care guidelines:
- Sizing: Ensure you select the correct size by measuring your hand circumference. The stretch fabric should feel snug but not restrictive.
- Washing: Use a gentle cycle on your washing machine set to 30 degrees Celsius. Avoid using harsh bleaching agents or fabric softeners as these can degrade the integrity of the grip material.
- Drying: Air dry the gloves away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can cause the material to warp or the grip texture to lose its shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place and avoid leaving them balled up in a dark tack trunk where moisture can accumulate.
