In the Spotlight
Heritage Performance gloves are the everyday rein glove: a grip palm and a close, flexible fit for schooling, showing and trail rides.

Riders describe comfort, rein feel and gloves that keep going season after season, in their own words below.
I am in LOVE with these gloves! I am an avid trail rider and I spend hours in the saddle on the hot summer days. Every other pair of gloves I have tried, my hands were sweaty and uncomfortable after 20 minutes. Not with the Heritage UltraLite Glove! I have ridden 3+ hours in 86 degree heat and not once did my hands feel sweaty! The grip and comfort level is off the charts on these gloves. Anyone who spends hours in the saddle, or even a few minutes, need a pair of these gloves! Hands down!
Do you ever misplace black gloves? Do your gloves get stiff, split, the finger stitching pull apart? I have single gloves scattered all around, except for this pair. I just drop these in my helmet. These are durable, fit well, give my hands easy mobility and have helped me keep a consistent, soft rein contact. Surprisingly, the light honey colored leather does not stain easily nor absorb mud, water etc. in this rainy winter.
My go-to gloves for schooling. Very comfortable and flexible if you get the correct size. They're medium weight and work for me year-round. The fingers have started to show wear in the expected places after about a year, but they're still functional and easy to keep clean.
Very comfortable, great grip and don't make my hands hot in the hot Vegas heat.
The Heritage Edit
The numbered sections go glove by glove: show, schooling and trail, winter, work, then roping, polo and driving, finishing with how to size them.

Show ring
Heritage show gloves cover the classic and the technical. The Pro-Fit Show Gloves are all-leather, made from soft natural leather that the vendor lists as colorfast and optimized for hunter/jumper riders. The Premier Show Gloves use a technical synthetic with a tacky rein grip, moisture-wicking to keep skin dry, and a touchtape closure for adjusting the wrist. The Pro-Comp pairs soft Cabretta leather with breathable inserts and rein-cut fingers.
Riders tell us these gloves outlast the season: one rider says her original pair has held up forever and she could still show in a set at least three years old, and another buys a pair or two every year for everyday training and showing. The Spectrum Show Gloves add stretch flex panels across the knuckles, and the Pro-Flow Summer Show Gloves use a mesh top and perforated sheepskin palm for hot shows. Look elsewhere if you want one glove for barn chores: a rider who wears hers only for riding says they do not hold up to chores, so reach for the work gloves below.

What Riders Say
I LOVE these gloves! They are used for every single ride and my original pair has held up forever! I recently bought a second pair to have for shows, but I could honestly still show in my set that's at least three years old.
I love these gloves! They fit nicely and are the perfect weight for riding my pleasure horse. They came quickly and I would highly recommend.

Schooling and trail
Heritage schooling and trail gloves are built around rein grip you can feel. The Tackified Performance Gloves use a tackified digital leather palm for grip in wet and dry conditions, and the vendor lists them for both schooling and showing. The Power Grip Gloves use a stretch knit with a PVC dot palm, and the Cross-Country Gloves add a breathable mesh back, rein-cut seams and an adjustable touchtape wrist for eventing and endurance.
Riders tell us they are comfortable with a good grip on the reins, with one calling the rein grip excellent and another saying they fit well and last. One rider uses hers with her phone and watch, and another mentions extra material in the right places for longer glove life. For heat, the Ultralite Gloves use a breathable mesh, and the Solara Gloves add mesh that blocks UV rays. Look elsewhere if you ride in freezing weather: these are warm-season builds, so move to the winter gloves below.

Winter
Heritage winter riding gloves are made for mornings when hands go numb on the way to the barn. The Extreme Winter Gloves are fully waterproof, with a side zip for easy on and off, a longer cuff, reinforced rein fingers, touchscreen-friendly fingertips and glove clips. The Arctic Winter Gloves take a three-finger mitten style with a laminated water-resistant shell, 80 grams of 3M Thinsulate with microfleece and an integrated hand-warmer pocket.
For lighter cold, the Cold Weather Gloves pair all-leather outers with 3M Thinsulate, the Winter Trail Gloves add a polar fleece liner under a leather exterior, and the Premier Winter Show Gloves keep dexterity in the cold for showing. One rider calls the small zipper pocket for hand warmers the coolest feature of her winter glove. Look elsewhere if you need a glove for summer shows: the lined styles run warm, so choose the show gloves above.

What Riders Say
The coolest features is the small zipper pocket that is on opposite surface of the palm that is used to store hand warmers.
With my small hands and tiny wrists, it has been a challenge to find appropriately-sized gloves. I bought 3 sets of these because they were perfect from the get-go. They fit my hands, cinched at the wrist, and, like it says in the product name, has a power grip. Feels comfy even in 20 degrees. Elegant too!

Work
Heritage work gloves take on chores that wear out a riding glove. The Stable Work Gloves pair goatskin leather with a flexible stretch nylon top for a form-fitting, sturdy feel the vendor calls the workhorse for barn and ranch. The Ranch Work Gloves use nappa cow leather with Kevlar seam construction and a reinforced sueded palm that stays supple with use.
The Farrier Work Gloves are heavy duty with an open tip on the thumb and first two fingers, and the Utility Work Gloves use a stretch nylon knit with a rubberized coating on fingers and palm. For cold chores, the Winter Work Gloves are fully waterproof with a hand-warmer zipper pocket and touchscreen compatibility. One rider says the soft stretch lets her do detailed work around her horses without taking them off, and another never rides or leads without gloves. Look elsewhere if you want a thin rein glove for the ring: choose a show or schooling glove above.
Pick from the Stable Work Gloves, Farrier Work Gloves, Ranch Work Gloves, Utility Work Gloves 3 Pack and Winter Work Gloves.
What Riders Say
My favorite gloves. They have a nice soft stretch to them. You don't have to remove them when you do detailed work around your horses. Perfect fit and feel, easy to wash too.
I've used this product for years. In fact so much that I don't ride or lead my horses at any time without gloves. Many friends think it's some fashion statement. I remind 'em you just haven't owned enough horses yet!

Roping, polo, driving
Heritage roping, polo and driving gloves are shaped for the way each sport loads your hands. The Polo Pro Gloves are anatomically cut for the mallet and reins, with a reinforced left glove for the reins, a right glove with increased grip for the mallet and a tackified digital goatskin palm. The Air-Flow Roping Glove uses open weave mesh with dual-layer Kevlar reinforcement and a pre-curved fit to prevent bunching, and it is sold as a right-hand glove only.
The Progrip Roping Gloves are a knit blend that the vendor says outlasts cotton, with a secure knit cuff. The Carriage Driving Gloves are a long gauntlet in ultra-soft drum-dyed leather, made for professional and pleasure driving. Look elsewhere if you want a glove for general schooling: these are specialist designs, and the Performance and Tackified gloves above are the better fit for everyday schooling.

Sizing
Heritage gloves are sized by number, and every style carries its own size chart, so measure your hand and read the chart on the product page before you order. Some Heritage styles are sold as a single glove: the Air-Flow Roping Glove is right hand only and the Pro 8.0 Bull Riding Glove comes as one glove in right or left. Use the size filters on this page to jump to your number, including the right-hand and left-hand options.
Check finger length against the Heritage size chart before ordering. Measure palm circumference and middle-finger length, then match both to the chart for the style you want.5 and chose an 8 to leave room for a liner in bitter cold. Touchtape wrists on the Premier, Spectrum and Cross-Country gloves let you fine-tune the cinch for small wrists. For children, the Kids' Show Gloves come in classic black with a stretch wrist for easy on and off.
Start with the Pro-Fit Show Gloves, Kids' Show Gloves or Kids' Chenille Knit Gloves and check each size chart.
