KM Elite Multi-Purpose Equestrian Gloves – Blue SIZE 9

KM Elite Multi-Purpose Gloves – Blue, Size 9

Size 9 is L, the largest KM Elite make in this glove, and the one to reach for if you have long fingers or a broad palm. It is also the size that takes a thermal liner underneath most comfortably, which matters more in January than any amount of grip figures.

The construction is the same throughout the range — seamless nylon knit, nitrile coating over the palm and fingers — but at size 9 there is enough material to keep the fingertips from bottoming out, so touchscreen use and small buckles stay manageable.

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

• Larger adult hands, long fingers and broad palms.
• Winter yard work over a thermal liner glove.
• Fencing, gate work, dragging hose and handling wet rope.
• Farriery and clipping, on the strength of the contact-heat test.
• Likely to be loose on a small or average hand — size 7 or 8 in the same glove is the better fit.

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.
