FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for all weather conditions?

The DuraGrip palm provides reliable grip in both wet and dry conditions. However, they are primarily designed for riding and may not offer significant insulation for very cold weather.

How do I determine the correct size?

Measure the circumference of your palm just below the knuckles and the length from the tip of your middle finger to the base of your palm. Refer to the brand's sizing chart for the best fit.

Can I machine wash these gloves?

It is not recommended to machine wash these gloves. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method to maintain the integrity of the material.

What is the main advantage of the articulated thumb?

The articulated thumb design allows for greater natural movement and flexibility of your hand, improving comfort and dexterity when holding the reins.

Are these gloves breathable?

While made from synthetic leather, they are designed for equestrian use. The material offers a balance of durability and flexibility. For maximum breathability, ensure proper fit and consider ventilation in your riding attire.

How durable are the reinforced fingers?

The reinforced fingers are designed to withstand the friction and pressure points encountered during riding, adding to the overall longevity and comfort of the gloves.

What makes them competition-ready?

Their sleek appearance, secure grip, and practical features like touchscreen compatibility make them suitable for use in equestrian competitions.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The FlexFit synthetic leather offers some stretch, but a proper fit is essential. Wear them for a short period to allow them to conform to your hand.

Touchscreen functionality is not working

Ensure the fingertips are clean and dry. Test on your device without any screen protector. Different devices and screen protectors can affect sensitivity.

Reduced grip after getting wet

The DuraGrip palm is designed for wet conditions, but ensure the gloves are properly dried after use. Clean any dirt or debris from the palm area which could affect grip.

Touch-close fastening losing effectiveness

Clean both the hook and loop sides of the fastening with a small brush to remove lint and debris. Avoid snagging the fastening on rough surfaces.
