Not-So-Speedy Dressage

From Endurance to Dressage

Roeckl Gloves - Giveaway

9/3/2018

 
There are so many glove choices out there, but since I started riding in Roeckls more than six years ago, I haven't ridden in anything else. I know they're a wee bit pricey, but they are worth every penny. Just as an aside, Riding Warehouse is having a 20% off everything sale through today, so if you want a pair of Roeckls RIGHT NOW, you can get them for $39.96.

An old pair of navy Roeckls.
Besides the cute color combinations - I've had the navy with white (twice) and the black with brown, I love how they actually feel like skin. My skin. Once they're on, I completely forget that I'm wearing them. I can wear these all year long, too, even in our brutal summer heat. They're breathable, and they stay flexible even after washing. Oh, yeah, I throw these in the washing machine (air dry though), and they come out like brand new.

I've owned 6 pairs of Roeckls over the years; I even have a white pair for showing. My every day pair is navy with white piping, but I've been lusting after a pair of black with red piping. Guess what showed up in my mailbox the other day?
Picture
I finally got a black and red pair!
Since I am such a fan of these gloves, a Roeckl rep contacted me recently and asked if I would do a giveaway. Are you kidding? Of course! I love these gloves and am happy to share the love!
Picture
Actually, there are two of these!
I rarely do giveaways, I think I've done two?, but this company makes a product that I truly love, so I am happy to spread the word. Since I don't do complicated, the rules for this giveaway are pretty simple. 

1) The giveaway will run between now and Friday, September 7th.

2) Head over to Facebook and "Like" their page - Roeckl Equestrian. 

3) Comment below and share whether or not you've owned a pair of Roeckl gloves (it won't affect your eligibility if you already love them). If you have, what did you like about them? If you haven't, why not?

4) Leave your email in the comment form so that I can contact you if you win. No one else can see your email address.

5) Since I like simple, over the weekend, I'll write everyone's name down on a slip of paper and have my husband pull two names out of a hat (or whatever I find laying around). 

Good luck!

I have several pair myself
I especially like the thicker winter gloves
They are long lasting and wash well

Have never heard of Roeckl, but since I am now an avid rider, who wouldn’t want some of these?! :)

I've never owned a pair. I imagine they'd make awesome driving gloves!

I do not have a pair, but would love to try them. I really like the color combinations!
9/3/2018 09:01:37 am

I currently do not own a pair, but would love to win a pair. I think the color combinations are great!

I’m getting back into riding after a long absence and am slowly relearning what are the best and newer pieces of tack and equipment. I hope I win, I need gloves and these look awesome!

I've always wanted to try a pair, but never splurged with the high price tag. Sounds like they are worth it though!

Karen Taylor

Once I started riding in these gloves, I never went back! I LOVE THEM.

My only experience with gloves in Germany was with a pair of Steeds and they disintegrated after one season. Roeckl is the way to go. But I don't use facebook so I cannot win *pout*

I love Roeckl gloves! I still have a pair of Chesters I use only for showing and I love them. Going strong 5 years in. I got a different pair for summer this year and they are light and grippy. I am slowly replacing all my gloves with Roeckls.

Carly
9/3/2018 02:01:35 pm

I've never owned a pair because they're just a bit too pricey for me. They do look pretty fancy though!

Amanda Chance link

Roeckl's are my favorite gloves! Is it even possible to have all the colors? I'd like to try to find out...

Megan

I haven't owned a pair before, but I would love to try them out!

Indi

Oooooooo! And I was just wishing for a pair of gloves to save my hands from any more sun damage... 😍

I’ve ridden exclusively in Roeckls for years. I’ve unfortunately had a bad run of luck lately with multiple new pairs falling apart right away and had no luck with their customer service

Karen Morovich

Would love to try them

I have never owned these gloves, but I like free stuff!

Amanda link

I've never owned a pair! Out of my budget, alas. I've always coveted them, though.

Michelle
9/3/2018 10:18:14 pm

I am using them for the first time and love them! I enjoy the lack of bulk and how comfortable they are. I finally bit the bullet and bought a pair and there's no going back to the other brands now.

I don't even know how many pairs of Roeckl gloves I've owned at this point but I love them! My favorites are some navy and gray argyle mesh back ones I got a couple years ago because they combine my favorite colors. Roeckl gloves last a long time and wash up well so they are always my first choice.

Nicole

I really wanted a pair since they do not slide on web reins, but I could not justify paying the higher price. Love the feel though.

Love these gloves, currently in a pair of navy/white sport.

Took a bit to convince me to try them due to the price, but glad I did.

Olivia link

I love Roeckl gloves. I really want another pair for showing as I have a schooling pair.

Sarah W

I had a pair that felt like a second skin - they were wonderful and now I use them for schooling. Would love a pair for showing!

Hannah
9/4/2018 12:02:21 pm

I absolutely adore my Roeckls! Every ride, no exceptions. Feels like a second skin, even when wet/sweaty - an absolute staple in my tack box.

Marie Burcham
9/4/2018 06:13:28 pm

I'd love to try them -- I have yet to find gloves that are long wearing for my all-day events! I especially need some warm-weather weight gloves.

Cathryn Kozak link
9/4/2018 07:41:03 pm

I had a pair of Roeckls and I LOVVVED them so much... unfortunately they got lost after a clinic and I haven't been able to find them :( This is such an awesome give-away!

Cristina Kayvon-Pierce

I love roeckl gloves! My trainer introduced me at 2016 CDS champ show and I still have the same gloves! They last forever! And they are the best gloves for XC too, they never slip! Great giveaway Karen!!

Stephanie Hammer

I have not owned a pair of riding gloves in years because I have just been lazy, lol!!! BUT, I would LOVE to win a new pair of gloves!

Jan link
9/5/2018 08:08:35 am

I love my roeckl gloves!!! I have a pair in navy and I've just about worn them out (no holes yet though!). I've had them for a couple years now, and they've lasted way longer than any other brand of glove.

Tracy link
9/5/2018 11:34:50 am

I've never owned a pair of Roeckl's, but my show pair of gloves died at my last horse show, so I'm definitely in the market for new ones!

Alanna
9/5/2018 12:16:13 pm

I love their gloves! They fit great with the half size option and there are so many styles to choose from.

Margaret
9/5/2018 01:31:04 pm

I've never had a pair. I keep on meaning to buy some but there's always something else that takes priority.

Darcy Safin

I love my roeckl’s so much I tend to go through a pair or two a year. But I may wear them out year round.

Jamie H.

I don't have a pair of Roeckl's, I usually go for whatever is on the clearance rack, lol! I have tried them on though, they seem like super nice gloves and I'd love to have a pair.
