First impressions
These gloves looked very well made, the material felt of high quality and they felt like they were made to last. I really liked the style of this glove in general.
Overview of performance
I felt these gloves came up just a little on the small side, I am usually an 8 and felt I could have comfortably gone up half a size, possibly because of the extra winter lining in these. They were, however, extremely comfortable and they did not feel bulky to ride in, even with the winter lining. I wore them for riding, teaching in and general use around the yard. They provided plenty of protection in the cooler weather, particularly from the wind, and kept my hands really warm. They also had really good grip. They dried quickly if they got wet without any change to the glove itself, and they’ve worn well, too. They aren’t waterproof, but I didn’t feel I had to avoid getting them wet at all cost.
Wild Farm’s likes and dislikes
The design and comfort provided by these gloves was excellent — they look both sporty and stylish. I would recommend taking a second look at your normal sizing and consider going up by half a glove size.
Verdict
*H&H APPROVED* I would recommend these gloves to anyone riding multiple horses a day in the winter — I will certainly be wearing mine!
