KM Elite Multi-Purpose Gloves – Red SIZE 6

KM Elite Multi-Purpose Gloves – Red, Size 6

The red version of the same glove, in size 6 — XS in KM Elite's lettering and the smallest they cut. Red is the useful colour on a shared yard: a dropped glove in a red pair is findable in a bed of shavings, and two colours make it easy to tell whose is whose.

Everything behind the colour is identical to the blue: a seamless nylon knit with a nitrile coating across the palm and fingers, touchscreen tips, and EN388:2016 testing behind it. At size 6 the fit suits a narrow hand, and KM Elite cut generously, so this is not a tight glove even at the smallest size.

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

• Small hands, and riders who want feel rather than bulk.
• Shared yards where colour-coding gloves saves arguments.
• Grooming, tacking up, mucking out and wet-weather leading.
• Anyone who keeps losing gloves and wants them easy to spot.
• Too small for an average adult hand — the size 8 red or blue glove is the place to start there.

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.
