I really wanted to like this glove. I've heard great things about SSG, but I was nervous about switching brands because Mountain Horse has been my "go to" for about 10 yrs. But the Mountain Horse gloves finally wore out and SmartPak doesn't carry the crochet gloves in black, so I decided to risk it. They fit pretty well, if not slightly small, but that's not really my main complaint. When I took them off after riding multiple horses at the barn I work at, my hands were dyed black and I had blisters on both of my "ring" fingers where the reinforcement patch was. I figured it would only happen once, but it's happened 3 times so far. I'll be curious to see if it continues as they get broken in. But, aside from those two things, they really are comfortable and they look nice!

These gloves are great. They are true to sizing and I love the air-flow through the crochet. They have a good grip and have a mostly classic look that I love!

I love these gloves. They're especially good for summertime riding because the looseness at the wrist means that you don't get an ugly tan line. I usually just let them get filthy, but occasionally I throw them in the washing machine, which they handle with no problem at all.

They are very comfortable, and wear very well. I ride in them 4 days a week, on 2 horses per day, you get more than your money worth.

This is my second pair of these gloves. They are a good glove for warm weather schooling - the crochet back allows plenty of ventilation to keep your hands from getting too hot, unlike full leather gloves. They don't hold up much more than one season (I ride 5-6 times a week), but aren't prohibitively expensive. Good summer glove for the price. Very comfortable.

I will buy these gloves forever. They are perfect for everyday. And they last a long time. They have the perfect balance of protection and flexibility. Also, they recover like nothing ever happened if they get wet.

I agree with everyone who advised that these run small. I am typically a size 6 or 6 1/2 glove, but ordered a 7 after reading the reviews, and they're still somewhat tight though I think they'll loosen up with time. The leather palms are pretty stiff and need some breaking in before getting comfortable, but they definitely look durable. There's reinforcement in typical wear areas like between the ring and pinkie finger. They look good and the open weave back is great for a little air flow during the summer. Overall, I'm happy with them.

I've worn these gloves for years! They are comfortable and break in easily! Now if they could just come up with a way to keep the fingers from shreading!
I recently started my 2 horses on Senior Flex, my 25 year old "retired" paint mare still loves to trail ride in the Arizona mountains. She is barefoot and was getting a little "ouchy". Within 2 weeks of starting the product her hesitation is gone! She is enjoying her outings again.
The photo of my 8 year old dressage queen says it all! Any discomfort and she wants to back off, with Senior Flex her attitude is changing daily!
SmartPak has always provided fabulous products, service and reasonable prices!

great glove for a reasonable price. when I am riding I can actually feel the air cooling my (sometimes a little sweaty) hands. the deerskin is a good thickness. I dont ride without them. I show in the TredSteo Pro Jumper and love those too!

Nice comfortable grippy glove for riding in warmer weather. Runs SMALL, buy at least a size up - I had to return mine for a larger size even when I measured carefully for fit. I don't think they're extremely durable - in 2-3 wearings some of the leather has pulled away from the stitching already.

Ordered two different sizes, but they just wouldn't fit.. either too big or too large. Maybe that's what you get with crochet? Who knows... shame though, cause they seemed like they'd be cool to wear in the summer.

The products are good, SmartPaks are great but shipping from SmartPak is a huge debacle as I am a rural customer. The USPS has a way to handle packages for every address in this country. UPS is particularly challenged with rural delivery and has finally offered a service to have USPS make final delivery yet you don't use it.

I bought these gloves for general riding after getting a blister from my reins. They are snug at first but soon loosen up and fit perfectly as they are leather. They seem strong and are holding up nicely. I am a size 7 womens glove and they fit just right. I like that there is no velcro or rough wrist closure. they are also cute and comfy.

I wore out my last pair of Crochet backed gloves and I tried on a friends pair of SSG Horse Shoe Back Gloves and liked the way they felt. I ordered a size 7 and they're a little tight, but I can feel them stretch out the more I ride in them. So far they're holding up to my lunging and training that I do in them.

I really like the looks and the open weave back that lets air in. I have rather short fingers and a wide hand so I decided to try the mediums. They were a little tight but the large would have been too long. I put them on and rubbed some leather dressing into them and did some streatching. They are now a perfect fit. I am sure I will be buying more in the future.
