Riding gloves, equestrian gloves

Gloves are one of the smallest elements of a rider’s equipment, but nonetheless important. The main task of gloves is to protect the skin and to prevent the reins from slipping from the rider’s hands while riding. Equestrian gloves are also useful during unfavorable weather.

They look like regular gloves but they are much more. On the inner side, they are strengthened with e.g. leather inserts that prevent them from tearing and wearing out. Unlike traditional gloves, equestrian gloves have velcro closures placed on the back of the hand. The material of which the gloves are made must allow for full freedom of movements of the fingers. Most equestrian gloves are made of leather, synthetic materials, or high-quality leather-like materials that fit the hands like a second skin. We recommend neoprene, rubber gloves for stable chores that are easy to clean from all types of dirt.

Gloves, designed for everyday use might be difficult to keep in perfect condition, which is why they usually come in soft colors such as: black, navy blue, brown, gray. An exception is gloves that come in white and are used during competitions and serve both as a protective and decorative device.
