I rode in some Roeckl gloves and they were fab (not entirely sure which ones). I think they are summer ones but they kept my hands pretty warm.
I don't normally like gloves, they make my hands fuzzy, but I wore these for ages and forgot I had them on.
My problem is that on reading reviews, apparently they rub on the rubber bobble reins (which I have) and they ruin the gloves. Can anyone offer any advice on this? Is it true?
If so, are there any gloves people can recommend that would be more suitable? I don't like big bulky gloves and they don't have to be waterproof.
 
Yes, I found the coating comes off the fingers of the gloves where the reins rub them. Great gloves though and still useable when the coating has come off so I'd buy them again.
 
I've tried so many gloves and found the roeckl ones are the best, not bulky and very comfortable fit. Yes, the coating does rub off after considerable use but ive never noticed any difference once the coating diminished and they are still completely useable, I've used them for years now and wouldn't use anything else
 
They are no worse than any other similar gloves with a coating. Essentially if you have rubber reins you don't need the coating and if you have plain reins it won't get rubbed off anywhere near as quickly.
