FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for all weather conditions?
These gloves are designed to provide warmth, making them ideal for cooler weather. They may be too warm for very hot summer days.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Measure the circumference of your palm just below the knuckles and the length from the tip of your middle finger to the base of your palm. Compare these measurements to the brand's sizing chart. The Medium size is specified for this particular model.
Can I machine wash these gloves?
It is not recommended to machine wash these gloves, especially the leather palm. Hand wash gently with cool water and mild soap if necessary, and always air dry.
How often should I condition the leather palm?
Condition the leather palm 1-2 times per year, or more frequently if you notice it becoming dry or stiff, especially after cleaning or heavy use.
What is the primary benefit of the reinforced palm?
The reinforcement on the leather palm is designed to prevent excessive wear caused by friction with the reins, thereby extending the life of the gloves.
Are these gloves suitable for competitive riding?
While stylish and functional, their primary design is for everyday riding and comfort. For specific competitive disciplines, check the relevant rules regarding glove requirements.
What age group are these gloves intended for?
These gloves are listed under the 'kids' age group, indicating they are sized and designed with younger riders in mind.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too tight or too loose
Adjust the hook-and-loop wrist strap for a snugger or looser fit. If the overall size is incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size.
Leather palm feels stiff
This can occur after cleaning or if the gloves have dried out. Apply a small amount of leather conditioner specifically designed for gloves and work it in gently. Allow it to absorb before wearing.
Fabric back is uncomfortable or itchy
Ensure the fabric back is clean. Sometimes, residual detergent from washing hands can cause irritation. Allow the fabric to breathe by not wearing them in extremely humid conditions for extended periods.
Stitching appears to be coming undone
For minor loose threads, carefully trim them with small scissors. If structural stitching is compromised, contact customer support for potential repair or replacement options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Designed for equestrian use, they are compatible with standard reins and riding equipment.
Care:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather palm with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the gloves.
- Drying: If the gloves get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with paper can help them retain their shape.
- Conditioning: For the leather palm, occasional use of a leather conditioner can help maintain its suppleness and prevent cracking, especially after cleaning or prolonged use.
