Heritage Tackified Pro-Air Baseball Batting Gloves - Breathable & Grip-Enhanced for Training & Games - Perfect for Baseball, Softball & Batting Practice

These are the first and only pair of gloves I've ever used for English riding lessons. They are an absolute dream! I noticed I needed gloves when reins would slip through my hands because I couldn't maintain sufficient friction just with my bare hands. (I have the baby-soft hands of a sedentary office worker: my hands lack friction for opening jars, so I need all the help I can get - especially if my horse decides he'd like to interrupt our lesson to munch on some grass and I have to pull him away lol.) These gloves make a world of a difference - my grip is solid, stable, and I never lose my reins. I live in South Florida, and although I take lessons in the late evening, the gloves never feel hot or uncomfortable. They are good looking and they appear to be of high quality material. The size is perfect (I used the measuring guidelines on the product's website). They haven't developed any odor after several uses (once a week for over a month). I felt confident in my control and communication via the reins before I had these gloves, but I still would always wear these when possible. They are a great buy.Update: don't use any type of cleaning or condition products on these - my first pair lasted maybe over a year or almost two of use 1-2 times per week, until I stupidly sprayed them with some organic gym spray and used leather conditioning wipes to clean them. Something in those compounds caused holes in my otherwise durable gloves. I got a new pair recently and plan to just wipe them off with a damp towel for cleaning.
