Winter doesn’t mean winding down in polo - it’s all about recharging, gearing up, staying sharp, and being ready for the next chukka! With the colder, wetter months upon us (booo), it’s crucial to maintain your equipment and skills so you can hit the field confidently when the season heats up again (yaaay). Here are our top tips to keep you and your gear in peak condition this winter. You're welcome.

1. Keep Boots Polished and Leathers Conditioned

Your boots and leather gear take the brunt of wear and tear during the season, so giving them extra care in winter is a must! After all, cracked leather boots are really not a vibe! Mud and moisture can degrade your leathers quickly, so clean them after every use and invest in a top-notch leather conditioner to keep them supple and protected.

3. Prep for Rain with MacWet Gloves

Here in the UK, you can bet you'll be out playing in the rain on more than one occasion! (Good old blighty, eh?)
