MacWet Climatec Sporting Gloves
The MacWet© Climatec Sporting Gloves (Black) |
As many equestrians know riding isn’t just about having
skill, talent and training hard, in order to succeed in any equine discipline,
the right equipment is essential. Whether you are aiming to dazzle in the
dressage arena, galloping your way through cross country courses, or simply
enjoying the school with your horse or pony, the best and most efficient gear
is a necessity for anyone entering the equestrian world. One of the first
things a rider will learn from the minute they get onto a horse is how to
handle and correctly hold the reins, one of the most important aids every
equestrian has to utilise, literally right at their fingertips. Through having
many instructors, and competing across various disciplines, one attribute has
always remained a constant teaching, which I have aimed to reciprocate in my
riding. This is the ability to keep consistent contact, with firm, but soft
hands that guide the horse pushing them to come through and work onto the bit
in order to get them listening and responsive to the aids. A key aspect to
gaining the best contact comes from one of the most useful, and essential
pieces of riding equipment… gloves.
Finding the right gloves is a battle many riders have to
face, with a huge number of criteria to fulfil. These include the gloves
durability, waterproofing, thickness, how well they fit as well as the general
overall look and style of the gloves themselves. MacWet© sporting gloves have latched
onto this concept and have created gloves that combine all the key elements,
deemed essential to a multipurpose, and durable sporting glove. Using the
latest technology, MacWet© have developed a glove that can be used in both wet
and dry weather, never losing it’s grip or performance, with a range of sizes
for a comfortable fit that enhances control and touch sensitivity. Retailing at £29.99 for the Climatec Sporting gloves, the gloves are a reasonably priced addition to any rider looking for a glove for every discipline that adapts to every type of weather.
Having recently graduated from university, and heading home
for summer, my drive to get back into the saddle after competing with De
Montfort University and in the BUCS team was higher than ever. I decided to get
back into the school and do some hacking to set me off for the season back at
my local yard. After some hard training and a rather adventurous hack, I found
the MacWet© gloves performance rather different from any gloves I have tried
before. The fabric was light and flexible and was great for dressage schooling,
as I never got sweaty or irritated hands. Incorporated into my schooling
routine, I always like to make time for my true passion, show jumping. The
lightweight and comfortable fit of the MacWet© gloves were brilliant at keeping
my contact nice and supple, with the size fitting perfectly to allow me to have
a supportive gripping glove to ride in. With the weather taking a turn for the
better, the sunny country fields were the perfect opportunity to take a
well-earned hack. The gloves ability and great feel didn’t alter an inch when I
went out, and I even managed a successful gallop in the sunshine.
Overall, I was extremely pleased with the product and would
recommend these gloves for anyone, in any equestrian discipline. The sizing
allows for a precise measurement that fits, allowing for the best performance
possible in any weather. The unique and top performance of these gloves hasn’t
gone unnoticed, with top equine celebrities such as Royal beauty Zara Phillips
who gripped on with MacWet at the London 2012 Olympics and top international
British show jumper, Ben Maher all getting their hands on a pair. With a wide
range of sizes, colours and styles, I would suggest that anyone who wants a
great glove, for a great price to invest in these smart, stylish and
multipurpose MacWet Climatec sporting gloves for an enjoyable equestrian
experience.
