Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these reins made of real leather?
While marketed as part of the KM Elite leather range aesthetic, they utilize a specialized Biothane grip for enhanced performance and durability.
Will these reins stretch over time?
No, the Biothane material is engineered specifically to resist stretching and snapping, unlike traditional leather reins.
Can I use leather oil on these reins?
It is not recommended. These reins are mould-resistant and do not require traditional leather conditioners to stay in top condition.
Are these suitable for jumping?
Yes, their secure grip and reliable performance make them an excellent choice for jumping and cross-country events.
How do I clean them after a muddy ride?
Simply rinse them with water or wipe them down with a damp cloth; they are designed to be low-maintenance.
Troubleshooting
Grip feels too stiff during first use
The Biothane material is engineered for durability and will soften slightly with regular use; continue to use them to break in the flexibility.
Dirt buildup in the pimple texture
Use a soft-bristled brush with water and mild detergent to dislodge debris from the pimple pattern, then wipe dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the KM Elite Pro Grip Eventer Reins is straightforward; they utilize standard bit attachments compatible with most competition bridles. When attaching the reins to your bit, ensure that the buckle is secured properly through the keepers to prevent any excess length from flapping during performance.
For care and maintenance, these reins are designed for minimal effort. Because of their mould-resistant composition, you do not need to use heavy oils or leather conditioners. Simply wipe them down with a damp cloth after each ride to remove dirt or sweat. If they become heavily soiled, a mild soap and water solution is sufficient. Avoid storing them in direct sunlight for extended periods to maintain the integrity of the Biothane material over several seasons.
