When it comes to riding gloves, the one quality brand you need to know about is Roeckl. The Munich-based label, established in 1839 by cousins Stefan and Christian, understands that gloves are crucial when it comes to the communication between rider and horse. For this to be seamless, they need to be comfortable, have an excellent grip and protect the hands of riders. Innovative features also include all-weather protection, breathable fabrics and two fits, designed to cater for men’s and women’s differing hand shapes. Among Roeckl’s most popular styles are the Roeckl-Grip which comes in 10 different sizes and colours and is unisex so you definitely find one that takes your fancy.  
Here at Imperial Equestrian, we are especially in love with the Roeckl Madrid Gloves which have a modern and sporty look and come in black, navy, mocha, grey and white. The backhand is made from light-weight and soft micro mesh, the palm is made of Drytec G5 with slip stop which are very comfortable and gives a perfect grip on the reins. The gloves are also touchscreen compatible, allowing you to you to use your phone without taking off your gloves!
Another one of our favourites is the Roeckl Lisboa Ladies Riding Glove which we feel are the height of elegance. The fastening at the wrist is embellished with sparkling Swarovski crystals and are made from Roeckl’s exclusive synthetic suede material which is not only breathable but also soft and supple giving you the feeling of a second skin.
All of the gloves are machine washable at 30 degrees but Roeckl understandably discourages that the gloves come into contact with fly sprays and other chemicals as these can cause deterioration.
Soon to be launched and eagerly awaited are the beautiful Roeckl gloves embellished with Swarovski crystal flag motifs on the wrist fastening. Keep checking our website, facebook page and Instagram for their arrival date!
