Know before you buy
The high-quality leather palm is designed to provide a natural, tactile feel that synthetic materials often lack. It offers enough grip to maintain consistent contact with the reins without feeling sticky or restrictive.
While these are built for the demands of the show ring, the synthetic backhand is durable enough for regular schooling. However, because the palm is genuine leather, you will get the longest life out of them if you reserve them for competition and clinics.
No, you should not machine wash these gloves. Because of the leather palm, it is best to spot clean them with a damp cloth and leather cleaner to maintain the integrity and softness of the material.
Heritage gloves generally follow standard equestrian sizing. If you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up, as the leather palm provides a snug, tailored fit that does not have much stretch.
The synthetic backhand is specifically engineered for airflow, making these significantly more breathable than a full-leather glove. They are an excellent choice for keeping your hands cool during warm-weather shows.
