Gloves - are they all destined to fall apart?!

[Noodlejaffa]

Can anyone recommend a pair of gloves for everyday riding which do not disintegrate afte only a month of use? I seem to have tried all brands, both expensive and cheap and they are always in shreds after a month of use. It's costing me a fortune!

I can't ride without gloves, so if anyone has the magic solution, please let me know!

Roeckl ones are the toughest I've found- theyve survived Boss xc rounds for a year now and thats no mean feat

I brought some that look like old driving gloves from a saddlery - they're really thin and Ty is intrigued by them.

Found out why last night - I looked inside and they're made of pigskin.....not great when you don't eat meat....

At £5 they are a bargain though....I'll see if I can find a pic.

SEG's nice and thin but protect your hands well , give good grip (oh -oer) and last ages.

wash up well to .

Second Roeckl or SSG - mine last approx 1 year till my nails go through them.

I really like the Roeckl pastel coloured ones with the sort of white lacing on the back and white palms (ok so they don't stay white for long but they wash well)

My competition ones are the Good Hands ones and they seem to be wearing ok but not competing much at the moment

I've gone through two pairs of Roekls in the last three months!

i have a pair of Ariat gloves which i use twice a day and are doing well so far, but only had them for about 2 or 3 months

My lidl gloves are holding up really well, at £2 a pop can't wait till they get more in!!!!

SSG gloves

I use Shires neoprene & leather pro grip Gloves - they last a full season easily. However are a tad hot in this weather

Still look at it this way - you are all bad consumers if you expect gloves to last over a year.

Not as bad as people expecting bridles to have a 20 year life and then wonder why the local saddler went out of business

Now get shopping!

Ive never had too much luck with gloves, both my roeckl pairs split and went holey within a short time, and my SEG's pair were so slippery that i just couldn't use them in the end. I bought a couple of pairs of riding gloves from Lidl recently and i have to say they are the best gloves i have ever had. They have had plenty of hammer so far this season and are as good as the day i bought them. I will be first in the queue when they have some more in!!

I use ariat and they are quite good, except the dogs always run off with them and find them a week later lost in the hay grr..
