KM Elite Multi-Purpose Gloves – Red SIZE 7

KM Elite Multi-Purpose Gloves – Red, Size 7

Size 7 in red — S in KM Elite's lettering, and the size that suits most women's hands. The red is not decoration so much as book-keeping: on a yard running several pairs, a colour split stops one person's gloves quietly becoming everyone's.

The glove itself is a seamless nylon knit dipped in nitrile across the palm and fingers, so it grips a wet rope and a muddy gate latch without losing the feel needed for a buckle. Sizing runs generous through the whole range, so a 7 fits plenty of people who take an 8 elsewhere.

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 to medium adult hands.
• Everyday yard work, tack cleaning and leading in the wet.
• Yards that colour-code kit between staff or liveries.
• Riders who want a thin glove they can still feel a rein through.
• Not roomy enough for a broad hand — the size 8 glove is the next step up.

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.
