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......

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?

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.

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.
