Two more users of MacWet’s gloves have enthused about their high-performance and incredible all-weather grip!

Shannen Airey is an amateur horse-rider who has been riding since she was 10-years-old. As someone who has spent a long  time taking part in show-jumping, dressage and hunter trials as well as competing at one day event, she is well-aware the importance of gloves that maintain grip.

She said: “I’ve used these gloves several times over the last week and I’m in love. Their ‘all grip, no slip’ motto certainly seems to be true…my contact remained the same throughout our whole session, even in good old English rain. The gloves dried out quickly when the weather brightened up, and kept my hands warm despite the bitter winds from the river Trent!”

Emma, another horse-riding enthusiast, also reviewed the gloves for her website. She said “They had a thorough test as despite rain…they remained ultra grippy and hands stayed dry.”

Young Event Rider gives MacWet gloves a brilliant review

16 Sep

Here at MacWet we are so pleased to receive another excellent review from Young Event Rider, Helen Bates.

Helen is an up and coming event rider and is currently competing at Silver Lady II at novice level. 

Read her full review below: 

“MacWet Gloves are truly some of the best gloves I have ever come across, and I haven’t used anything else for years. The micromesh are very cool in the summer whilst the climatec provide a warmer alternative for the winter. I ride in them every day and at competitions, they are such good quality that they are durable and really last, as well as being stylish and available in a range of colours! When I am out competing the weather can sometimes be a little unpredictable but I know I can rely on my MacWets to provide comfort and grip, come rain or shine, which is particularly essential when going across country”

MacWet gloves get the thumbs up for deer stalking

10 Sep

Lowland and highland deer stalker, Johnny Readhead has given MacWet gloves the thumbs up for deer stalking. Read his full review below:

“MacWet gloves make everything easier: I put them on and don’t take them off when I am out stalking for the day. They grip everything and I don’t have to take them off when I am shooting. They are like a second skin, they give you great grip and you can feel everything when you wear them unlike other gloves when you have to take them off because they are so bulky. I can set up my rifle wearing them, adjust my binoculars and drive in them. They also give my hands great protection when I am crawling through the heather. They fit well and regardless of the weather, they also grip well.”

MacWet gloves visit the Arctic

6 Sep

MacWet recently joined photographer Alan Smith on his expedition to the Arctic and it seems that he was very impressed with the gloves.

Alan was initially worried that the gloves are not completely waterproof, however he later came across a product called Nikwax and seemingly this did the trick. Read Alan’s full review below:

Image

“MacWet gloves were superb. A guy I made friends with called John also found them really good and was glad he purchased a pair. It was when holding the Arctic ice and splashing about in a melt water river bed from a glacier, I realised that my waterproofing recipe by Nikwax really does work. The expedition was fantastic, somewhere very special and totally different. Thanks for a great product, the gloves were brilliant”

Offshore rescuer reviews MacWet gloves

6 Sep

We have many MacWet fans from all different sporting backgrounds, but it seems that our gloves have a new fan in the form of Phil Keating from the offshore rescue team.

Phil and his team are responsible for all offshore rescues on the biggest wind farm in Europe off the Welsh coast  and usually uses his rope rescue gloves. However, one day Phil accidentally forgot his rope gloves so took his MacWet’s to the big ocean!

It seems that the gloves were a big hit and the rest of the team have been asking to use his as well. Read his full review below:

“I forgot my rope rescue gloves one day last week, and only had my MacWet gloves in my car which I usually use for equestrian. I decided to take my MacWet gloves offshore and I was so glad I did, they performed brilliantly. We’re responsible for all offshore rescues on the biggest wind farm in Europe off the Welsh coast. The team are all advanced medics and rope rescue specialists. The rest of my team are after some MacWets now as they have all tried mine on!”

We were so pleased to be a part of the Toplands Clay Shoot Charity event which took place on the 24th August. The event included a BBQ, auction and raffle where visitors had the chance to win a few pairs of MacWet gloves.

The event was a huge success raising a grand total of £5002.67 for the Motor Neuron Disease Association (MND), a great charity which helps fund and promote research into Motor Neuron Disease. This total almost doubled the amount raised from last year’s event!

They are already planning next year’s event and we can’t wait to be a part of it!

MacWet gloves keep their grip during the Round Ireland Powerboat and RIB 2013 Challenge

2 Sep

Macwet- RIB challenge 2013Last month 27 boats officially began the Round Ireland Powerboat and RIB 2013 Challenge and met some incredibly tough conditions resulting in many boats dropping out.

We were proud to provide a number of team members with a pair of MacWet gloves and it seems that the gloves held up extremely well. Cheryl Jenkins, part of ‘Team Mad Tubes’, was very pleased with our ‘all grip, no slip’gloves as they helped to keep her grip even in the wettest conditions. Read the full review below:

“For Team Mad Tubes, the ultimate test for the Macwet gloves was, would they grip the chrome rail around the front of the console when wet? And they did, very well. While circumnavigating Ireland in the Round Ireland Powerboat and RIB 2013 Challenge comfort and safety were extremely important. While the West Coast of Ireland through all that it could at us (including small craft and tornado warnings from the coastguard!) holding on and feeling secure while at the wheel was essential. The relentless barrage form the pounding waves went on for hours but the Macwet (climatec short cuff size 8 in this situation) served skipper Cheryl Jenkins extremely well. Thanks again to Macwet for their support during the challenges of the West Coast of Ireland”
