Full details
The HKM Polly Riding Gloves are ideal for young equestrians seeking warmth and comfort during colder rides. These gloves provide excellent insulation through their Thinsulate filling, though they are primarily optimized for light to moderate winter conditions rather than extreme sub-zero climates.

FAQs
Are these gloves waterproof?
The HKM Polly gloves are designed for warmth, but they are not fully waterproof. They are best suited for dry, cold weather.
Can these be used for other winter activities?
Yes, their thermal properties and comfortable fit make them suitable for other outdoor activities like cycling or general winter play.
How do I choose the right size?
The gloves are sized by children's age/UK size standards. Use the size guide for 5-6 years to ensure a proper fit.
Will the glitter print fall off?
The glitter is integrated into the design, but following the 30-degree wash instruction helps maintain the finish over time.
Do these gloves offer grip on the reins?
Yes, the material is selected to provide a good grip on leather and synthetic reins, even in cold temperatures.
Troubleshooting
Touchscreen sensitivity is low
Ensure the conductive patch on the fingertip is clean and free of dirt or debris.
Glove feels loose during riding
Adjust the velcro fastening to be tighter at the wrist and ensure the elasticated hem is pulled down fully.
Material showing signs of wear after washing
Check that the wash cycle was set to 30 degrees or lower and avoid using high-spin settings.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the right fit is essential for safety. Ensure the velcro strap is tightened comfortably so that the glove does not slide on the hand, which could interfere with rein contact. To maintain the life of the gloves, they should be cleaned in a standard washing machine set to 30 degrees Celsius. Avoid using aggressive detergents or fabric softeners, as these may compromise the integrity of the insulation and the touchscreen material. Always air dry the gloves naturally; avoid direct heat sources such as radiators or tumble dryers, as high heat can damage the glitter finish and synthetic fibers.
