Close up ofventilation

“I would like to thank you for the gloves. I wore them while on patrol for the entire summer/fall and I must say they'reoutstanding. The gloves allow great airflow so my hands were never hot even in 90 degree temperatures. Rein manipulation was not an issue because of the thin material and I was also able to operate the touch screen on mymobile phone. After 5+ months of daily 4 hour patrol, the gloves are showing minimal signs of wear and tear. These will definitely be my summer gloves from now on.“

How to sell more gloves

HOW TO MEASURE YOUR GLOVE SIZE: Measure around your hand at widest part,excluding thumb. The number of inches should equal your glove size.

THE SSG DIFFERENCE:Don’t be fooled - look for the Squared Horse Head logo on our products, SSG on the label or tab anddouble stitched French seam on the index finger of some SSG gloves. SSG introduced overlap doublestitched index finger design has no rein reinforcement added, there is no inside seam on the index fingerwhich could cause discomfort and expose weaker material to excessive wear. Our exclusive materials are softeryet more durable than competitive gloves. Our gloves are time proven for years. As a result of continued outstanding success of SSG gloves, as can be expected, other companies will offer counterfeits to look like ours, but don’t be fooled. Insist on SSG name and quality.

How to sell more gloves• Link you stock to the weather and the type of equestrian activities yourclients do. Many riding glove styles cross over into the ‘work’ category,so don’t ignore this important sector too.

• Riders always like to try on gloves. Offer a sales aid rein so they cantest the fit and grip.

• Women’s sizes usually range from 6 to 8 including half sizes. But besure to stock the larger sizes for men too. Their size range tends to be 8to 11 with some manufacturers going to a 13.

• When it comes to children’s gloves, they need warmth, comfort andgrip on the reins – just like adults. The children’s showing market, inparticular, demands good quality and fit. Offer some fun, bright colorstoo, however, for the best of both worlds.

• Technical, synthetic fabrics have brought many benefits to gloves. Getproduct information from your suppliers so you can explain theirattributes such as durability, longevity, colorfastness and washability toyour customers. Some examples are: Synthetic Aquasuede (soft,colorfast, sweat absorbing, breathable and washable), Lycra (used forglove backs for a close fit and omni-directional support with ventilation),Neoprene (soft, flexible, tough and retains body heat), Spandex (elastic,lightweight, flexible and durable) and Aquatack (breathable palm withprecise grip).

• Leather gloves remain popular. Deerskin is durable, breathable andhard wearing; Kid Leather (goatskin) is high in lanolin therefore soft andhard wearing; Cowhide offers texture and is firm yet easy to ‘break-in’;Sheep and Pigskin are durable, supple and breathable.

• Linings come in man-made and traditional fabrics too. Thinsulate offerswarm yet non-bulky insulation, even in damp conditions; Polar Fleeceprovides warmth without weight and is a useful alternative for customerswho are allergic to wool; silk is incredibly lightweight and a naturalinsulator in cold and warm conditions.

• Create a specific glove area in store, taking advantage of anymerchandising units offered. Display in styles and types pertinent to thetime of year with a good choice of sizes and colors; top up regularly.

• Display gloves so they are easy to reach and inviting to try on.

Materials:Synthetics: Synthetic material in gloves is here to stay. As well as theadvantage of greater choice of colors, synthetic gloves are washable andcolorfast, usually more comfortable, flexible and durable. They retain theirflexibility after being exposed to wet and damp conditions, unlike mostleather gloves. Synthetic materials are also always tested for hidden faultsinsuring that quality is maintained. Quality, Comfort, Flexibility, Durability,Style.

Aquasuede® & Aquasuede Plus®: Soft, colorfast, sweat absorbing,breathable, comfortable and washable.Aquatack®: Exclusive skin-thin reinlock breathable palm for great grip.

Digital™: The ultimate in feel, grip, breathability and finally, durability.

Spandex: A synthetic fiber known for its exceptional elasticity. It isstronger and more durable than rubber. Lightweight, soft, smooth,supple and provides a combination of comfort and fit.

Lycra®: Soft form fitting omni-directional stretch Nylon used for itsventilation and comfort characteristics.

Neoprene: An extremely versatile synthetic rubber which is soft, flexibleand stretchable. Neoprene displays outstanding physical toughness andretains body heat.

Kevlar®: Kevlar® is an extremely strong synthetic material that derives itsstrength from its weave. It is woven like tiny spider webs. Kevlar® is aspecial way of weaving a liquid into a solid. This is called an aramidweave. Aramid fibers tend to be difficult to corrode, resistant to heat,and have no meltingpoint.

Leather

Deerskin Leather: Our North American deerskin leather has manyadvantages including comfort, durability, chafe resistance, and breath-ability.

Kid Leather (Goatskin): Kid leather is one of the most durable leathersyet remains soft and flexible. It has been proven, from independenttesting, that goat skin is nature’s softest leather after deerskin. It is alsothe softest leather due to the presence of lanolin.

Sheep Skin Leather: Incredibly comfortable sheepskin gloves providean excellent feel of the reins. Several of many advantages includecomfort, durability, chafe resistance, and breathability.

Cowhide Leather: Maximum value material for texture and appearance,provides a great finish. Cowhide is extremely durable, firm yet easy tobreak in, and comfortable.

Pigksin Leather: This leather is durable, supple, breathable, flexible,lightweight and extremely porous. Insulators

Silk: Silk fibers are the lightest of all natural fibers. Silk is bothlightweight and incredibly warm. Silk is a natural insulator and breathesvery well, keeping you cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Silkfiber is lustrous, smooth, supple, lightweight, elastic, and strong.

Polar Fleece: Soft napped insulating synthetic wool fabric made fromPET or other synthetic fibers and comfortable to wear, very warm andprovides warmth without weighing a lot. A good alternative for thosewho are allergic or sensitive to wool.

Thinsulate®: The warmest thin glove insulation available, even in dampconditions. It provides about 1! times the warmth of down, and abouttwice the warmth of other high loft insulation materials.
