Recomend some reins

[Vodkagirly]

Got caught in a hail shower yesterday and discovered that the grips on my rubber reins is now worn off and slippy. What reins do people recommend? Don't need to be smart just practical.

For hunting I use laced reins & at home continental reins.
Both great, effective whatever the weather - but I always wear gloves (some will post how they can hurt hands, but in gloves its never a problem for me)

Just dont please buy the cheap tat ones as friend did that - '£10 reins' she said; ' bargain' - not quite so, when the stud gave way at a sharp canter when using them for the 2nd time......

Continental and preferably the ones with rubber woven into the webbing part which helps to make them even more non-slip.

Have used and like these ones ... http://www.rideaway.co.uk/NEW-COLLEGIATE-SUREGRIP-REINS

I love the Kate Negus suregrip ones, though admittedly it is a ridiculous amount of money for reins

I like my bio reins which I bought from Matty Marlow on eBay. I am always getting compliments on them. I think I paid around £35.00 for them last year.

i bought some bio reins off ebay too for similar money. they just look rubber to me, what is the 'bio' bit all about?

I love my sabre eventa reins, they have been water mud and sweat soaked and iv never lost grip, and they are not too fat for my ridiculous child size hands lol

Eeeek at the price of the Kate Negus reins, I want decent quality but that is a lot more than I want to spend. I think the ones Shooting Star recommends are looking like the winners. Haven't used continental reins for years but I can see the advantage.

Only two types of reins that I like to use, laced and continental. Both are good in the wet.

I like these (top one of the two) they are very nice reins, I dont ride but have these on my pony's bridle http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Oliver-To...Horse_Wear_Equipment&var=&hash=item4174345af6

Equus Eventa reins. Definitely the best grip ever.

I am coveting some lovely half rubber, half leather reins, basically rubber on one side, leather on the other - all the grip of rubber reins but without the bulk.

I have no idea why they are called bio reins either. I really like them though. Seem to be much more supple that standard rubber reins.
