Hi, I'm Rebecca from Merchandising,
and I'm here today to go over my extensive collection of gloves
with you.
As you can see, I have several pairs,
and I have a bit of a problem.
I'm addicted to Roeckls.
And as we go through the video, if you
would like to skip ahead and learn more
about all the different pairs that I have, along the side
there'll be a menu, and you can just jump around.
So there'll be other people talking about they're
glove collections as well, but I'm
going to go ahead and get started with my collection.
So if any of you have seen any of my other videos,
you know that I have a Roeckl problem,
so that will be what we're focusing on here today
is my entire collection, starting
with a very old, ratty pair that's
probably going to retire.
These are my Roeckl Chester Summer gloves.
I've had these for three seasons now,
you can see they've been loved very well.
What's really nice about them and why
I will buy another pair for next season
is they have this lightweight mesh on top,
so it's very breathable and comfortable in the summer.
It's like you're not even wearing a glove.
But then the palm has the same great leather
and palm that all of the Roeckls have,
so you have excellent grip.
Like I said before, you can see that they're well loved,
and I tend to throw things around in my bag,
and they get caught on my brushes.
But in general, these gloves have done very well for me,
and this is one of my summer pairs.
I have multiple pairs for each season.
So then this is the next glove that I got.
I got these this year.
These are the Roeckl Londons, and this is my new summer
glove.
If you look at these, they have this fun patent leather stripe
on them.
They're also a lightweight mesh.
If you can see there, you can have a lot of breathability
there.
They have the sporty Roeckl branding on them.
And again, they have the same palm
and the same consistent leather.
And then they're reinforced across the areas where
you grip the reins, so very, very comfortable and very
durable.
These have held up fantastic this season,
and I've seen more and more people wearing them.
So I think that other people are getting on the train.
So these are the Roeckl Londons.
Next is my pair of show gloves.
I try not to ride in these any other time,
except for when I'm showing.
And these are your basic Roeckl Chesters in the black.
So they're all-over leather.
They're very conservative.
I ride in the hunter ring and the equitation ring,
so they're perfect for that.
Again, very, very light weight, since most of my competing
is done in the summer months.
They're not real hot.
They have a nice stretch across your knuckles.
So when you're closing or changing your hand position,
they're very comfortable.
Again, they're completely reinforced
in the areas where you grip the reins and very comfortable.
One of the things I know I've talked about before that I love
about Roeckl gloves in general is
I'm very weird about the seams in your fingertips.
So all of Roeckl gloves to me are
sewn so well here that you never feel the bulk
of the seam across your finger.
For whatever reason, that really annoys me.
So that's why I also really love all of their gloves.
We all know the summer's going to come to an end
very soon here.
Actually, it's already getting cold in the Northeast.
These are my Roeckl Chester Winter gloves.
So these are a little bit bulkier,
as you can see, but not compared to most.
They have a nice fleece lining inside.
It's very lightweight, and it's bonded to the leather
so you don't have that liner separate from the outside
of the glove, where you can feel it slipping around.
It's very uncomfortable when you're riding
and you can feel the different layers.
Once again, I love them because even though they
have the fleece bonded to them, the fingertips seams
are perfect.
They don't bother you at all.
Adjustable fit, stretch across, and still can completely
articulate your hand and ride in the wintertime with no problem.
So these are great winter riding gloves-- Roeckl Chester Winter.
And I've actually had these for, I think,
coming on three seasons, as well.
And they've held up really, really well.
The last thing in my collection is brand new
because like I said, it's getting
cold, and the winter's coming, and I can't help myself.
These are brand new by Roeckl.
I saw them at a trade show, and I tried them on,
and I was like, oh, now I'll have to have
these when they come in stock.
So you're looking at them.
I just purchased them and picked them up this morning.
So these are great for riding in the wintertime,
and these are the Roeckl Weldon gloves.
But these are going to be great for to around the barn,
as well, because sometimes I find that I need
like the really fleecy glove.
But we'll start with a couple reasons
why this is just fun for around the barn
and really I think even around town.
So you can definitely ride in the glove.
It has this silicone grip, which you're
seeing more in general even on breeches,
so you have that technology.
It has the fingertips done with the leather
so that you can still use your touchscreen phones.
So if your iPhone or your Android phone,
you can still operate it with these gloves.
They have a higher wrist on them.
You can see they come up further.
Whereas most gloves end here, this kind of
goes up like under your storm cuff on your coat,
so it helps keep the cold out there.
They're extremely stretchy as well,
so they're just really comfortable.
They're not going to get in your way at all.
Same great fingertips, right?
We all know that that really matters to me.
The inside of them is a thick brushed fleece, nice and cushy,
very high pile, so that's really fun.
And like I said, touchscreen compatible,
and these are made with real polar fleece.
So this is my newest pair for around town in the winter,
the Roeckl Weldon.
And I should mention that this one says touchscreen approved.
Not all of these have that on the packaging,
although I know for the upcoming year that
is something that goes on the packaging for the Roeckls.
But I can operate my touchscreen phone
in any of my Roeckl gloves.
I have no problem.
You shouldn't be using your phone while you're riding,
but if you need to check a text message when
you're on the ground, it's not a problem.
You don't have to rip your gloves off.
So I hope you enjoyed looking at my collection.
Please don't judge me too much because there's more
that I want to buy.
Thank you, and have a great ride.
Hi SmartPak fans.
I'm Viviane, and I work in the Marketing department.
I will talk about Roeckl gloves today.
I will talk about a whole bunch of gloves.
So if you want to skip forward to a certain pair of gloves,
you will see a bar here on the left side of the screen,
and you can just skip forward.
So I will start with my oldest and most favorite pair,
the Roeckl Chester Glove.
You can see that I have had these gloves for a long time.
Six years ago I bought my first pair of Roeckl gloves,
because I was trying many different pairs of gloves.
I never wanted to spend that much money
for a pair of gloves.
But at the end, I just thought, OK, I'm
just going to give it a try and bought these kind of gloves.
And I have had them for 6 years, so it was obviously really
worth it.
With this pair you can see that I have a tiny hole here,
which comes from my ring.
So you can really not blame this pair of gloves
to look like this after riding in those for six years.
I've been riding in Germany many different horses, been
using leather reins, thick rubber reins, thin rubber
reins, riding in the summer, when
they get all wet and sweaty, riding in the winter, when
the leather's really stiff.
Like I always had a perfect grip and feeling
with these kind of gloves.
After I had those for a while, I decided
to get another pair just because I really like them,
and I didn't want to destroy them so quickly.
And it's always fun to have another color
to mix with your riding outfit.
So two years later I got these kind of gloves.
I really like the color because it's not
so bright like this one.
I like to use those for clinics, for example.
So these are four years old.
I still use them very regularly.
Different kind of horses, strong horses,
soft horses-- you can use them everywhere.
They look very classy, very chic, I have to say,
match very nicely with your outfit.
This year I thought about mixing it up a little bit
and chose the sportive version of the new Roeckl gloves.
I think they just came out this year.
So the difference here is that the top
is a little bit more stretchy.
So if you have maybe a little bit of wider palm,
this is a good glove.
When you make a fist and have a wider palm,
it's really stretchy on the top.
If you want to compare, these are the same size.
I have size 8 or 8 1/2.
Both these gloves, for example, are a size 8.
These are very nice, lean on my fingers,
and these have a little bit more space.
I believe it's just because it's different material.
The comparison of the material is here
you also have a little bit of a harder material in the inside,
so you have a little bit of a harder grip.
Meanwhile, with the Chester gloves, they're really soft.
Like you feel everything.
So now the pair that I'm wearing here,
these ones are the Winter Chester.
I got these, I think, they survived now three winters.
And I really love them.
Even though it's for winter, you have a great feeling.
It's just soft fleece on the inside.
You get still this same feeling like with the normal Chester
glove, and they keep you really nice and warm.
So I have to say I had those for the German winters.
And last year I came here to New England,
and I use these gloves the whole New England winter.
I survived it.
It was fine for riding.
But for this year I decided to go with the Weldon Winter
Fleece Glove.
So this one is just for the real winter-- nice big fleece, warm.
I'll just put them on.
You still have the function for your smartphone,
so you can use your smartphone with those two
fingers, if you want to, very nice grip for winter glove.
It's not bulky.
You have still a great feeling in your rein.
And what I really like, what I noticed last year
with wearing these, is that it goes here over your hand,
so it really stays warm when you're riding.
You might stretch out your arm, and your jacket goes up
or whatever you're wearing.
You don't get that cold wind that comes in here.
So I'm really looking forward to be wearing these this winter
and being warm.
That's going to be really exciting.
So this was my collection of all my Roeckl gloves.
Of course, I also have a white pair for shows.
Can't miss those.
And I could buy every year another pair in another color.
There are a lot of choices.
