Really grippy gloves!

[Troggy]

Please can I have some recommendations for some very grippy gloves? I usually use just normal magic glove style pimple palms on rubber reins but have since found out hunting, once pony is a bit sweaty and/or it's rained, I have no grip....! Which is not good!
I have heard MacWets are meant to be good and was going to get those, but if anyone has any other ideas, I would be glad to hear them


Thanks

Rodney Powell do some which are good. I can't find them online though.

I had a pair of 'Good Hands'. The aren't very expensive and have nice rubberish grips stuff on them.

The got pinched out of my car the other day, so I'm going to have to replace them!

Shires pro gloves, neoprene and grippy leather palm, would be perfect for hunting, i got mine of ebay around £10.00.

Fraid im a rockel girl! Love them in all weather!

Thanks, were yours rubber or leather reins? I found leather on rubber quite slippery? Maybe I just need to grip more!!

 

[Troggy]

Thanks, will have a looky

 

[Troggy]

Ok thanks, will have a look and see what they are like.
Forgot to say, I also have very small hands so prefer them to be as thin as possible!

SSG gloves are pretty good in any weather, nice and thin but hard wearing.

I've got some ariat swadey type ones, I love them cos their only one layer thin so you can feel on the reins and have major grip. wore them up in breacon beacons last week and they were fab. were about £20

No the leather is very grippy, i have been doing all sorts of fast work in them, they are very good value for money compared to the posher brand names.

Excellent thanks.
Thanks all for the suggestions, will have a look at the BOSJ as going on the Friday(Or Ebay if no luck there!) and see what they have, it's good to know the ones that actually work

Im another Ariat person... I dont like the roekle as they just fall apart! the material isnt that hard wearing so they then also stretch and generally annoy me.

These ariat ones http://www.countrysupplies.com/item.asp?i=3560

i have macwets, they are expensive, but i think worth every penny. they're also quite thin, so good for feeling the contact etc.

I have had roeckl ones as well, but found these wore out far to quickly!!

Happy searching!

Macwets! Jack wore his at Tdown for the first time and loved them.

 

[Mooch]

I have small hands too!

So, not a problem at all.

I think I might have even had a kiddies sized pair!

Ariat Tek Grip

 

[EventingMad]

Exactly the same i find mine really good for feeling the contact too and my roeckl ones wore out within a few months!

 

[katylee]

Blimey!! £40 for a pair of gloves is a bit steep - for me anyway!!

Macwets would be my preference. Roeckls are OK, but not as good as the Macwets.

i like the roeckel chester gloves. they look really smart, like leather, are really comfy, long lasting (my current pair are about 3 years old) and stay grippy even when Ron is lathered up! plus they're only about £20.

 

[lucym]

i would say a big NO to macwets, very expensive and mine wore out in no time- wasnt impressed
got some rodney powels and love them, or some simple leather ones
