Product Information
Full details
The Ariat Tek Grip Gloves are designed for female equestrians who prioritize both tactile sensitivity and long-lasting durability in their riding gear. These gloves provide a professional grip in varied conditions thanks to their synthetic suede palm and abrasion-resistant outer coating, making them an ideal choice for daily schooling or competition; however, riders seeking extreme thermal insulation for sub-zero winter temperatures may need to consider a heavier, fleece-lined alternative.

FAQs
Are these gloves touchscreen compatible?
No, the Ariat Tek Grip Gloves are designed primarily for rein contact and grip, and do not include specialized touchscreen conductive tips.
Can these gloves be machine washed?
Hand washing is highly recommended to preserve the structural integrity of the synthetic suede and the longevity of the Velcro closure.
Are these suitable for winter riding?
These gloves are better suited for mild to moderate climates. They do not feature heavy insulation for extreme winter conditions.
Do they provide good protection against rein rub?
Yes, the reinforced stress points and durable synthetic materials are specifically designed to protect hands from friction during long training sessions.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
Ariat gloves typically follow standard sizing; ensure the material fits close to the skin without pulling at the knuckles when the hand is closed.
Does the non-snag Velcro snag clothing?
The signature non-snag closure is engineered specifically to prevent the hooks from catching on other fabrics or sweaters.
Troubleshooting
Loss of grip on reins
Clean the palm area with a damp cloth to remove accumulated sweat or dirt build-up.
Velcro closure not sticking
Check the hook-and-loop patch for lint or debris; use a small brush or tweezers to clean it.
Stiffness after washing
Flex the material gently with your hands once dry to soften the synthetic fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Ariat Tek Grip Gloves maintain their performance, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Hand wash in cool water using a mild soap or detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or fabric softeners that can break down the synthetic suede grip.
- Drying: Air dry the gloves away from direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as high heat can warp the material and damage the Velcro closure.
- Fit: The gloves should feel snug but not restrictive; ensure the Velcro closure is pressed firmly to keep the wrist area secure during active movement.
- Storage: Store flat or hung in a dry, cool place to prevent the synthetic fibers from becoming compressed or damaged over time.
