Help. wet reins - grip

[Muddywellies]

All you eventing and hunting peeps, what reins / gloves combo do you use. I am a mere dressage rider, but in the rain I just can't grip the reins. Reins are rubber (not bio-thane ones but decent grippy ones) and my gloves are macwet. Comp gloves are Roeckle. Need suggestions please for better grip.

As a serial rein slipper I recommend the various Henry James rubber reins with stoppers at every 5cm. They aren’t unduly bulky, so I find them fine for flatwork.

These are what I have.

V-Grip Hybrid Rubber Reins with Leather Stoppers

Soft Rubber Reins with rounded chevron pimples for superior grip and comfort, even without gloves. Sedgwick English leather hand-stitched stoppers.

I swear by Pioneer Endurance Supergrip reins, especially in the wet.

plaited leather ones for me, i don’t event or hunt but i’ve ridden in the rain plenty of times with them and had no issue!

I swear by Pioneer Endurance Supergrip reins, especially in the wet.

Me too! Mine are black with orange at each end at Zoe's suggestion, so match the everyday biothane orange bridle she made for me. Super for keeping hold of.

I use SSG gloves and they've never let me down even xc in the pouring rain. Generally I just use plain rubber reins with them but I also use them for showing too with leather reins.

A pair of bio rip reins (small hands) and macwet gloves for me, I find roeckls slippy

I ride in the rain a fair bit and have just bought the LeMieux Magna reins, they are by far the best reins I have ever used.

I have the bio-grip version of these. The stoppers mean I don’t have to wear gloves all the time.

I have a sample of Eventa. I bought smooth Sabre soft leather reins instead and taught share mare not to lean on them. But if I had needed more, I would have bought her those Eventa ones.
As a RS hacker for many years I absolutely hate those stoppered RS reins.

Same! I put them on once for showing and never took them off.

Not everyone’s cup of tea but I love webbed continental reins. I event and have the Albion ones and there’s no slippage in the rain, I wear Roeckl gloves or no gloves.
