Not worth it
I bought these gloves less than 2 weeks ago, and within 4 rides they ripped!! Save your money for a different pair of gloves. However, they are super breathable.

It works with a smartphone
Soft, supple, cool, and a great grip. And it works with a smartphone. Just don't expect to unlock your phone with a finger print ;)

One Word-FABULOUS!!
OK, so I started showing again after a 12 year break from it and decided I needed some new show gloves. The one thing I remember from back then was how hot the leather gloves were so I was hoping show gloves got an update since then, well, they did, the Heritage Pro-Flow Summer Show Gloves are wonderful, they fit true to size, light weight, no bulk and I even forgot I had them on. I would tell anyone who shows in summer to make these gloves their summer show gloves.

Very light and comfortable
I recently used these in a show on a VERY hot day and really liked them. Ventilated on both sides and quite cool. I'm not sure how long they will last since they are quite thin, but for the price I would be happy with one show season! I normally wear a size 7 and these were just right.

Keeps my hands cool on hot show days
Professional enough for the show ring, but kept my hands as cool as possible on a hot show day. Nice looking glove, very soft leather on the underside. Fit true to size. I've only been using them for less than a month so I don't yet have feedback on durability etc. But so far, so good.

Love this glove
I am so happy to have found this glove for summer riding. I was unable to find it locally, and I had bought it years before and liked it a lot. Thank you SmartPak ! I ordered a size down since I was between sizes and it seems to fit just right.

Don't hold up well
I bought these gloves as I needed something cool for our hot, humid summers. I loved them--for the first few rides. They were grippy, and the mesh back did keep my hands cooler. However, after only a couple of weeks of riding (putting them on right before I got on and taking them off as soon as I got off), there was a hole near the top of my pointer finger (not a place I would expect to wear quickly!) Smartpak, being as awesome as they are, quickly sent me another pair; however, after just a few weeks, this pair too has a large hole going down the front of my ring finger. Overall, these gloves just didn't hold up well for me.

Great summer gloves!
With their perforated palm and mesh back, these are perfect summer gloves. Very lightweight but seem like they'll hold up all summer. Glad I bought them!

Fabulous Gloves
These gloves are comfortable, cool, they don't pull on your knuckles and the dyes don't run. They are much less expensive than most other decent gloves out there, but they are much more comfortable, and wear really well.

Great summer gloves
I would buy a size down since they run large. Since i read some reviews, I ordered a size down and they fit perfectly. They're pretty durable, and great for the price! I even use them when showing

Not impressed
I really don't like the cuffs. They flare out and get in the way when doing things like buckling a girth. I think they run a little big too because I bought my usual glove size and they seem baggy which makes it easy to let the reins slip. I was hoping to find a replacement for the ariat air grips since they don't last long but I will be going back to ariat after this.

Buy These Gloves
I've never had a piece of riding gear or clothing change my riding like these gloves have. I really just bought them because they looked like they would be cool in the Arizona heat (and they are) but what I didn't anticipate was how good the grip is. I'm notorious for letting my reins slide - not with these gloves on though. They're so good my trainer ordered 2 pair for herself and I got a back up pair for me. I didn't rate the durability because I don't know yet how long they'll hold up, but at this price they're a good buy no matter the duration.

Very nice gloves
I purchased these to show in, but they are now my favorite glove for everyday! They fit true to size, are very comfortable, light weight and overall very nice.
The leather is so soft! I can't comment on wear as I have only ridden in them a couple of times. For the price, these are awesome!

Fit For Florida
Really nice pair of gloves, fit great, and very breathable. Perfect for riding in the hot Florida summer sun. My hands never sweat. Nice quality of leather on the underside. I even show in these.

You forget you're even wearing gloves!
These gloves are like a second skin and I loved them from day one. Unfortunately, after only three and half months both of my thumbs are sticking out! I am still wearing them to death though, because the glove is wonderful. I just wish they lasted a while longer. Thankfully they're not too expensive.

Great gloves
These gloves are durable and are cool for summer riding as they are ventilated. They have good gripping and are just very comfortable, not tears or rips. Great product.

!
I love these gloves. I usually hate gloves but I finally broke down and bought a pair to save my hands (plus I needed a pair for a schooling show). The leather feels great and the mesh-ish holes on top let my hands breathe. I haven't noticed my hands being any more sweaty than normal (what is "more sweaty than normal" when everyday hits above 95?). I've only had these gloves for a month or so but so far so good!

Light Grippy Gloves
Gloves are what I expected from other reviews - lightweight, cool, and grippy. Gloves are close fitting which helps with the grip. Palms are perforated which also helps with the grip and keeps your hands from getting too sweaty and slick. All the materials are very lightweight, so I am not sure if these gloves will last for multiple summers, but the price is reasonable enough, and they are comfortable and functional enough, that a new pair each year or so would not be bad.

My favorite riding gloves
These are my favorite riding gloves because they fit well and are light weight, cool and very comfortable. I had a hard time replacing the pair I lost so was glad to find them here. They are reasonably priced but my biggest reason for buying them is their comfort and fit.

Comfortable and Practical
Have only worn these for one 2-day show so far, but these are extremely comfortable, non-slip gloves. Love them!! Gave 4 stars only because I don't know yet how they will hold up.

Soft, Cool & Comfortable
I bought another brand of gloves that I was not happy with, so Smart Pak's excellent customer service dept offered to send me another pair. I decided to try these out, and so far I love them! The leather is butter soft yet super thin and breathable. They definitely look nice enough to show in, but they are so cool and comfortable that I am wearing them to school in as well. I've only had them for a few weeks, so I hope they hold up well.

Best summer-weight gloves
I'm heat intolerant, which means I sweat a lot!! I bought a pair of these gloves at a CDI in July, but they're white, which means they're trashed from use. I also got them 2 sizes large, so I can more easily peel them off my sweaty hands after a ride. The black ones will be slightly hotter for me, but they'll look nice longer. And I can hold onto the reins when I'm riding!!

PERFECT SUMMER GLOVE!
I was so tired of my hands getting too sweaty or hot while riding. This gloves are fabulous! They are made very nicely and still look good. But they keep air flowing and keep my hands a lot more comfortable. Have seen other brands "cool" or "mesh" gloves and these are way better.
They aren't going to last as long as non-breathable ones (because of the holes for air), but it's worth it!!

My favorite summer gloves
These are great for everyday schooling and nice enough for shows. The back mesh pannel is high quality and allows for air flow, no more sweaty hands and stinky gloves!! They are also holding up really well.

Excellent Summer Gloves
These gloves are perfect for summer wear. They are very lightweight with good airflow and comfortable fit, just enough glove to do the job and no more.
Smartlytes are a very good buy with quality ingredients in the right amounts. I prefer the powder in a bucket so I have the flexibility to feed as much or as little as I think my horse needs.
