Product Information
Full details
The Roeckl Malta Winter gloves are designed for equestrian enthusiasts who require a refined, second-skin fit without sacrificing warmth during cold-weather rides. Featuring the exclusive ROECK-GRIP material and a soft Micro Bemberg lining, these gloves provide superior grip and tactility on the reins while ensuring hands remain comfortable in chilly conditions. While these gloves offer exceptional precision, riders should note that the specialized hand-stitched construction requires careful handling to maintain long-term seam integrity.

FAQs
Are these gloves touchscreen compatible?
The Roeckl Malta Winter gloves are primarily designed for rein contact; while they offer great tactile sensitivity, they are not explicitly optimized for touchscreen use.
Are these gloves suitable for extreme freezing temperatures?
They provide excellent warmth for moderate winter riding, but for extreme sub-zero conditions, you may need an additional liner or an even heavier-duty glove.
How do I determine my size?
Roeckl sizes are specific to their glove-making tradition. It is recommended to measure around your dominant hand at the widest point (excluding the thumb) and compare it to the Roeckl sizing chart.
Can I machine wash these gloves?
It is highly recommended to hand wash these gloves to protect the hand-sewn seams and the specialized lining.
Why are there seam tolerances of one millimeter?
This level of precision is a quality standard that ensures the gloves fit like a second skin, preventing bulky fabric from bunching under your fingers while holding the reins.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel tight or stiff after washing
Gently stretch the gloves while damp and ensure they are allowed to air dry completely away from direct heat.
Loss of grip on the reins
Check the palms for dirt or debris buildup and wipe clean with a slightly damp cloth to restore the tacky surface of the ROECK-GRIP material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Roeckl Malta Winter gloves, proper care is essential. Because they are constructed with fine tolerances and hand-stitched components, they should not be subjected to harsh cleaning chemicals.
- Cleaning: Hand wash gently in lukewarm water with a mild detergent if needed.
- Drying: Air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can damage the elastic fibers and lining.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place and ensure they are not crushed by heavy tack to protect the integrity of the seams.
- Compatibility: These gloves are designed primarily for equestrian use and offer optimal performance when paired with standard leather or rubber reins.
