FAQs
What material are the Shires Aubrion PU Riding Gloves made from?
They are made from FlexFit fine synthetic leather, also known as PU (Polyurethane).
Are these gloves suitable for all weather conditions?
The DuraGrip palm provides a secure hold in both wet and dry conditions. However, like most gloves, extreme saturation may affect performance until dried.
How do I clean these gloves?
You can wipe them clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, and machine drying.
Can I use my smartphone with these gloves on?
Yes, the thumb and forefinger tips are designed to be touchscreen-compatible, allowing you to use smart devices.
Are these gloves suitable for beginners or experienced riders?
These gloves are suitable for riders of all levels due to their emphasis on grip, comfort, and durability. They are also competition-ready.
What does 'close contact design' mean?
It means the gloves are designed to be thin and form-fitting, allowing for a more direct feel and connection between your hand and the horse's mouth via the reins.
Do these gloves offer warmth?
These gloves are primarily designed for grip and feel. They offer minimal insulation and are best suited for temperate conditions or as a protective layer rather than for warmth in cold weather.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the gloves are new, they may require a short break-in period. Adjust the touch-close fastenings for a slightly looser fit if necessary.
Touchscreen compatibility is not working reliably.
Ensure the touchscreen tips are clean and dry. Sometimes, a light wipe with a slightly damp cloth can improve conductivity. The sensitivity can vary between different device models.
Reduced grip after getting wet.
The DuraGrip palm is designed for both wet and dry conditions, but ensure the gloves are not saturated. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources for optimal grip.
Stitching appears to be coming undone.
Inspect the stitching for any obvious damage. If the product is within its warranty period, contact the retailer for potential repair or replacement.
