Product Information
Full details
These Shires Aubrion Arene riding gloves are designed for adult unisex riders seeking a competition-ready, stylish, and functional glove. The key benefit is the superior grip and comfort provided by the synthetic leather and DuraGrip palm, with the added convenience of touchscreen compatibility. A potential caveat is the synthetic material, which may not offer the same breathability as natural leather for very long rides in warm weather.

FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for all riding disciplines?
Yes, their design and features make them suitable for a wide range of disciplines, including dressage, show jumping, eventing, and general hacking.
How do I determine my correct glove size?
Measure the circumference of your hand at its widest point (excluding the thumb). Compare this measurement to the sizing guide provided by Shires for the most accurate fit.
Can I use these gloves in very cold weather?
While they offer some protection, these gloves are primarily designed for grip and feel in moderate conditions. For extreme cold, insulated gloves would be more appropriate.
How do I clean the synthetic leather?
A soft, damp cloth is usually sufficient for general cleaning. For tougher dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with a clean damp cloth. Always air dry.
Will the DuraGrip palm wear out quickly?
The DuraGrip material is designed for durability and consistent grip. With proper care, it should provide long-lasting performance.
Are these gloves waterproof?
The gloves are water-resistant, meaning they can handle light moisture or brief exposure to rain. They are not fully waterproof for prolonged immersion or heavy downpours.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too tight or too loose
Adjust the touch-close fastening at the wrist. If the overall fit is incorrect, consider trying a different size, referring to the sizing chart.
Touchscreen not responding
Ensure the fingertips are clean and dry. Some screen protectors may affect sensitivity; try cleaning the screen itself. Ensure the compatible area of the glove is making firm contact with the screen.
Stiffness after washing or drying
Gently flex the gloves by hand. Avoid using heat to dry, as this can cause stiffness. Ensure they are air-dried naturally.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent grip in all weather conditions due to DuraGrip palm.
- Convenient touchscreen compatibility for device use.
- Durable and easy-to-care-for synthetic leather material.
- Comfortable fit with articulated thumb for better movement.
- Stylish, competition-ready appearance.
Cons
- Synthetic material may be less breathable than natural leather in hot conditions.
- Touch-close fastenings can sometimes attract lint.
- Fit may vary for individuals with very narrow or wide wrists.
- Reinforcements, while durable, might slightly reduce the 'bareback' feel for some riders.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These gloves are ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Simply slide them on and adjust the touch-close fastening at the wrist for a snug fit.
Compatibility: The touchscreen-compatible thumb and forefinger tips are designed to work with most capacitive touch screens found on smartphones and tablets. Performance may vary slightly depending on the device's screen protector.
Care Instructions:
- Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners.
- Air dry away from direct heat sources.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight, which can degrade synthetic materials.
