Product Information
Full details
The HKM Grip Mesh Riding Gloves are designed for adult equestrian enthusiasts who prioritize a secure connection with their horse through enhanced rein control. These gloves feature a combination of durable, high-grip palm material and breathable, elastic mesh backs to ensure comfort during long rides. While they offer excellent ventilation and flexibility, riders should note that the mesh material is specifically optimized for airflow, making them less suitable for extremely cold or wet winter conditions.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for winter?
These gloves are primarily designed for breathability and summer use. They do not offer significant insulation against cold weather.
Can I put these in the dryer?
No, it is recommended to air dry them. High heat can damage the elastic properties and the specialized grip material.
Are these gloves touchscreen compatible?
The gloves are designed for equestrian performance. While they offer high dexterity, they are not specifically advertised as touchscreen compatible.
How do I determine my size?
Measure the circumference of your dominant hand at the widest point, excluding the thumb, and compare it to the HKM size chart.
Can they be used for daily barn chores?
While the grip is durable, the mesh fabric is delicate compared to heavy-duty work gloves. It is best to reserve them for riding to extend their lifespan.
Troubleshooting
Loss of grip on the palm surface
Check the palm for a buildup of dirt or horse hair; a gentle cycle wash at 30 degrees usually restores the texture.
Gloves feel too tight across the knuckles
Ensure you are not pulling the mesh too taut; verify your size against the specific HKM sizing guide as fits vary by gender and style.
Minor snagging of the mesh
Carefully trim any loose threads with small scissors and avoid contact with velcro or grooming brushes when wearing the gloves.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your HKM Grip Mesh Riding Gloves, start by verifying your size using a measuring tape around the palm to match the manufacturer's sizing charts. When putting them on, pull from the base of the wrist rather than the mesh panels to maintain the elasticity of the fabric.
Care instructions include:
- Shake off excess dirt and hair after use.
- Machine wash at a maximum of 30 degrees Celsius.
- Avoid using harsh bleaching agents or fabric softeners that might degrade the grip material.
- Air dry naturally away from direct high-heat sources like radiators to preserve the shape and grip integrity.
