KM Elite Multi-Purpose Equestrian Gloves – Blue SIZE 8

KM Elite Multi-Purpose Gloves – Blue, Size 8

Size 8 is M, the middle of the four sizes and the one most yards buy by the box. It suits an average adult hand, and since KM Elite cut the range on the generous side it will also take a glove liner underneath in winter without going tight across the knuckles.

The blue colourway is the practical one for a working yard: it stays looking like a glove rather than a rag for longer than a pale colour would. The nitrile palm handles muck forks, hose fittings, buckets and reins equally well, and the seamless liner means no seam sits under a pressure point.

Performance & Benefits

• Soft, seamless nylon liner that fits close to the hand and keeps feel in the fingers.
• Nitrile palm coating for grip on wet reins, damp rope and greasy tack.
• Grip holds up in the wet as well as the dry, which is where thin riding gloves usually give up.
• EN388:2016 tested and compliant with Regulation (EU) 2016/425 as applied in UK law.
• Contact-heat tested, so brief contact with a hot shoe or clipper blade will not melt them.
• Touchscreen fingertips — the phone works without taking a glove off.

Suitable For

• Average adult hands, and the default size to stock in quantity.
• Mucking out, water buckets, haylage nets and hose work.
• Clipping sessions and farrier work, where contact heat and grip both matter.
• Wearing over a thin liner glove in cold weather.
• Too roomy for a small hand — size 6 or 7 in the same glove will fit better.

How to Use

• Sizing is generous. KM Elite advise dropping a size if you want a snug fit.
• Pull on from the cuff and work the fingers down before flexing the palm.
• Rinse mud and sweat out in warm water and air dry away from direct heat.
• Replace once the nitrile palm starts to crack — the grip goes before the glove looks worn out.
• Not intended for prolonged handling of hot metal; the heat test covers brief contact only.
