eQUEST GripPro Leather Touchscreen Horse Riding Gloves - Classic

Our review of the eQUEST GripPro Leather Touchscreen Horse Riding Gloves finds them best suited to riders who value a traditional look combined with modern functionality. The single biggest reason to buy is the real leather hand with conductive forefinger and thumb panels that let you use a smartphone without removing gloves, which is genuinely useful during lessons or on the yard. The gloves balance soft, durable leather with a technical fabric on the back of the hand, delivering comfort and a secure grip for regular riding and handling tack.

Key Features

• Real leather palm: Provides a classic, hard wearing feel that softens with use while offering reliable grip on reins and hardware.
• Touchscreen friendly: Conductive fabric on the forefinger and thumb enables smartphone use without taking the gloves off, saving time in the saddle or stable.
• Modern technical fabric: The back-of-hand material adds stretch and durability without sacrificing the traditional appearance of the glove.
• Classic design: A classically chic style makes these appropriate for schooling and day-to-day riding while keeping a tidy appearance.
• Easy care: Leather is best cared for with quality saddle soap and a soft cloth used in circular motions to maintain suppleness.

Who It's For

These gloves are ideal for recreational and regular riders who want genuine leather and a neat, traditional look but still need modern features like touchscreen compatibility. They work well for schooling, hacking out and daily stable work where durability and comfort matter.

Riders who need a very relaxed fit or have unusually long fingers may want to try them on first, as customer feedback notes some variation in fit and a snug hand section for certain sizes. Those seeking full waterproof technical gloves should look elsewhere.
