Best gloves that aren't too expensive?

[ecrozier]

Need to replace both my everyday and 'competition' gloves really, but as I go through gloves like they are going out of fashion I don't really want to spend more than say £25 a pair!
Any suggestions? Quite like reasonably thin material but good grip.

Have you looked at Macwets? I had a really good deal on Derby house had the climatec gloves on offer for around £16! Bargin! There fab too!

 

[ecrozier]

Ooh thanks will do!

I love Macwets, but get through them in no time. I have a pair of Roekcl Chester gloves at the mo, and they're great and have lasted the longest of any gloves I have had, and are still going strong. I use them everyday and for competitions

 

[ecrozier]

Kat - what price range are those? I think I had a pair before and liked them.

Roekl, the best, love them, worth every penny, they wash well and last, and fit just like, well you know!

Roeckl Chester's get my vote too - slim fit, awesome grip, last ages. probs about £26 pair. I wont ride in anything else!

Winter warmth - Mark Todd leather-ette gloves, probs £15 ish - bit thick for schooling in, but great for hacking and doing the yard, they are almost waterproof. They look nice too

Roeckl for me too I'm afraid. They even have a winter version x

Roeckl..... i actually prefered the feel/grip of macwets, but just got through them at such a ridiculous rate, Roeckl's have just lasted & lasted & are also a great grip/feel/fit

 

[ecrozier]

Hmm ok thanks all looks like roeckl get the majority vote! Thanks!

What size are you E?
I've got a brand new pair of Mark Todds that are too small (size 6.5) - was flogged them cheaply as MacWets and they aren't! Just about to whack them on ebay but if they will fit you, you can have them free

 

[ecrozier]

Thanks N! I'm not sure actually - think maybe 7? Will measure later on thanks! Are they the sort of leather look ones?
I take it you are a fan of machetes then?

Ariats

Roeckl for me too.

If they are for home and you aren't fussed about colour etc, Equestrian Clearance sometimes have them for as little as £9 a pair.

My Roeckls are lovely but I really don't find them hard wearing at all!!
I have Ariat Pro-Tek ones, winter and normal versions and I love them. They were twenty quid from Ingatestone Saddlery too.

I kill gloves so rarely spend more than £20 on a pair. The Mark todd winter ones have helped me through the last 2 winters (new pair each time), I'm off tomorrow to buy my next pair

 

[BronsonNutter]

I have a pair of Woof ones for everyday (they're black so I don't compete in them) - they're the more neoprene-like-backed ones and I found them around four years ago, so god knows how old they actually are! They're still going strong though, and are warm but not 'winter glove' thick

Would love some roeckls though.

 

[lannerch]

My roeckl lasted no time at all and I only used them for competing in the black grip rubbed off, now have musto that were a fraction of the price

 

[diggerbez]

i love macwets for competition gloves....for everyday i just use those crappy magic gloves that are about £1.99 a pair- that way when i lose them (regularly) it doesn't matter! they are pretty warm too!
