Roeckl Melbourne Unisex Glove

Innovation times three! With the lightweight, ultra soft MELBOURNE riding glove, ROECKL SPORTS is introducing an exclusive new development: ROECK-AIR. The particularly thin fabric used on the palm is hard-wearing, provides superb sensitivity on the reins, and is highly breathable thanks to micro perforation. You’ll barely feel as though you’re wearing a glove. The fabric is also completely TOUCHSCREEN COMPATIBLE. This new material is combined with the equally new smooth and elastic Lycra made with ECONYL® yarn and elastane on the back of the hand. Made entirely from regenerated nylon waste (e.g. old fishing nets), ECONYL® yarn is infinitely recyclable without sacrificing quality. Added to this is the new, extra long, and silky soft cuff that enables riders to wear their watch over the glove, something enjoyed especially by eventing riders as it allows them to always keep an eye on the time. When it comes to fit, ROECKL relies on its tried and tested COMFORT-CUT. A smooth soft-wipe thumb completes the top-class features. An added bonus is that the MELBOURNE also looks great, besides offering excellent functionality. Intricate metallic elements on the back of the hand make a fashion statement, and riders can choose between three stylish color combinations: elegant mocha with rose gold, sporty-feminine gray with pink contrasts, or cool black with shimmering metallic anthracite.
