Close up of ventilation Unisex sizes: 6, 7, 7½, 8, 9 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're outstanding. 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 my mobile 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. Ofc. J.

27 How to sell more gloves How to sell more gloves Link you stock to the weather and the type of equestrian activities your clients 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 can test the fit and grip. Women s sizes usually range from 6 to 8 including half sizes. But be sure to stock the larger sizes for men too. Their size range tends to be 8 to 11 with some manufacturers going to a 13. When it comes to children s gloves, they need warmth, comfort and grip on the reins just like adults. The children s showing market, in particular, demands good quality and fit. Offer some fun, bright colors too, however, for the best of both worlds. Technical, synthetic fabrics have brought many benefits to gloves. Get product information from your suppliers so you can explain their attributes such as durability, longevity, colorfastness and washability to your customers. Some examples are: Synthetic Aquasuede (soft, colorfast, sweat absorbing, breathable and washable), Lycra (used for glove 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 with precise grip). Leather gloves remain popular. Deerskin is durable, breathable and hard wearing; Kid Leather (goatskin) is high in lanolin therefore soft and hard 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 offers warm yet non-bulky insulation, even in damp conditions; Polar Fleece provides warmth without weight and is a useful alternative for customers who are allergic to wool; silk is incredibly lightweight and a natural insulator in cold and warm conditions. Create a specific glove area in store, taking advantage of any merchandising units offered. Display in styles and types pertinent to the time 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 the advantage of greater choice of colors, synthetic gloves are washable and colorfast, usually more comfortable, flexible and durable. They retain their flexibility after being exposed to wet and damp conditions, unlike most leather gloves. Synthetic materials are also always tested for hidden faults insuring 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 is stronger 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 its ventilation and comfort characteristics. Neoprene: An extremely versatile synthetic rubber which is soft, flexible and stretchable. Neoprene displays outstanding physical toughness and retains body heat. Kevlar : Kevlar is an extremely strong synthetic material that derives its strength from its weave. It is woven like tiny spider webs. Kevlar is a special way of weaving a liquid into a solid. This is called an aramid weave. Aramid fibers tend to be difficult to corrode, resistant to heat, and have no meltingpoint. Leather Deerskin Leather: Our farm raised deerskin leather has many advantages including comfort, durability, chafe resistance, and breathability. Kid Leather (Goatskin): Kid leather is one of the most durable leathers yet remains soft and flexible. It has been proven, from independent testing, that goat skin is nature s softest leather after deerskin. It is also the softest leather due to the presence of lanolin. Sheep Skin Leather: Incredibly comfortable sheepskin gloves provide an excellent feel of the reins. Several of many advantages include comfort, 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 to break 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 both lightweight and incredibly warm. Silk is a natural insulator and breathes very well, keeping you cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Silk fiber is lustrous, smooth, supple, lightweight, elastic, and strong. Polar Fleece: Soft napped insulating synthetic wool fabric made from PET or other synthetic fibers and comfortable to wear, very warm and provides warmth without weighing a lot. A good alternative for those who are allergic or sensitive to wool. Thinsulate : The warmest thin glove insulation available, even in damp conditions. It provides about 1½ times the warmth of down, and about twice the warmth of other high loft insulation materials. SIZE COMPARISON CHART CHILDS LADIES MENS A B A B A B C D XXS XS SMALL MEDIUM S M L XL XXL CHILDS UNIVERSAL LADIES SMALL LADIES UNIVERSAL MENS UNIVERSAL MENS LG MENS XL/XXL 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 and double stitched French seam on the index finger of some SSG gloves. SSG introduced overlap double stitched index finger design has no rein reinforcement added, there is no inside seam on the index finger which could cause discomfort and expose weaker material to excessive wear. Our exclusive materials are softer yet 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. 27
