What makes a good riding glove?
Three things do most of the work: grip, fit and warmth. Grip is what stops the rein sliding when your hands or the reins are wet. Fit matters more than most people expect — a glove that is even half a size too big bunches in the palm and dulls your contact, while one that is too tight will make your fingers ache and go cold faster. Warmth is a trade-off: the thicker the glove, the less feel you have through the rein, which is why Woof Wear makes separate thermal, winter and waterproof options rather than one do-everything glove.
Which Woof Wear glove is warmest?
For sheer warmth, the Winter Horse Riding Gloves (from £29.99, Small to X-Large) are the heavier option. The Precision Thermal (from £32.99) is the choice if you want insulation but still want to feel the rein clearly — useful if you school through the winter rather than just hack out. If rain is the bigger problem than cold, the Waterproof glove (from £32.99, X-Small to X-Large) is the better answer.
Do you need white gloves for competition?
Many showing and dressage classes expect a light or white glove, and some disciplines are more relaxed about it. Always check your class rules before you buy. If you do need white, both the Competition glove (white, G6 to G95, from £24.99) and the Grand Prix glove (white, sizes 7 to 9.5, from £24.99) cover it — and both are also stocked in darker colours so you are not stuck washing your show pair after every schooling session.
What size Woof Wear gloves should you order?
Some Woof Wear gloves use numbered sizes (6 to 9.5) and others use Small to X-Large, so check which system the product page is using before ordering. For numbered sizes, measure right around the knuckles of your dominant hand with a soft tape, in centimetres — that figure is close to your glove size. If you are between two, most riders prefer the smaller for contact and the larger for a thermal or waterproof glove worn over cold hands.
How should you look after riding gloves?
Rinse mud off while it is still wet rather than letting it dry into the fabric, then dry them flat and away from direct heat — radiators and dryers stiffen palms and shrink stretch panels. Store them flat rather than screwed up in a jacket pocket, and if you ride daily it is worth having two pairs so one is always dry.
