Because the ROECK-GRIP material is incredibly elastic and designed to fit snugly, many riders who find themselves between sizes choose the smaller option to ensure there is no excess material between their hand and the rein.Q: Can these gloves handle the rigors of daily training and frequent washing?A: Yes, these gloves are designed for the active equestrian. Unlike real leather which can become stiff after getting wet, the ROECK-GRIP synthetic material remains soft and grippy even after frequent machine washes at 30°C (86°F), making them much easier to maintain for daily schooling.Item Number/SKU: 15-3301208BK-6
