Riding Gloves

Riding gloves protect your hands and give a clear, consistent feel on the reins.

For the Rider

Riding gloves protect your hands and give a clear, consistent feel on the reins. A grippy palm helps you keep a secure contact in wet or sweaty conditions, while a breathable or insulated back keeps hands comfortable through the seasons.

From lightweight summer gloves to warm winter pairs, the right gloves make every ride more comfortable and your rein aids more precise.

Grip and feel

A synthetic-suede or silicone-printed palm gives reliable grip and a good contact. Avoid gloves that are too thick if you want to feel the reins clearly.

Summer and winter options

Lightweight, breathable gloves keep hands cool and dry in summer. For winter, choose insulated or fleece-lined gloves, ideally still slim enough to maintain feel on the reins.

Fit and practicality

Gloves should fit closely without restricting movement. Touchscreen-compatible fingertips are a useful modern touch, and most everyday gloves are machine washable.

Riding Gloves: your questions answered

Snugly, like a second skin, with no loose fabric at the fingertips. A close fit gives the best feel and grip on the reins.

Most synthetic riding gloves can be machine washed in a wash bag at a low temperature and air dried. Leather gloves should be cleaned according to their care instructions.
