Recommend some riding gloves!

[05jackd]

After wearing a hole through my gloves yet again I am thinking there must be something better out there. I have small hands so have always used the ‘magic gloves’ as they fit but they are no good for the increase in schooling I am doing now and they are ripping my fingers to shreds.

Any recommendations for some nice gloves for small hands?

I’m loving LeMieux protouch mesh gloves for schooling. I prefer them to be more on the thinner side and these aren’t bulky and are lasting really well.

SSG Digtal are ace lightweight summer
Also love my MacWet Climatec gloves for cooler whether
and Woof Wear Precsion Thermal ones for really cold..

Another vote for Le Mieux Pro Touch gloves. They’re great.

I refuse to pay £££ for gloves as I lose them so often.
These are still undamaged after use hacking 3 or 4 times a week for 4 summer months. Not really cool to wear but not hot either.

Roeckl Chester for me. Not cheap but hard wearing as I don't use rubber reins at all, and they give a close contact feel without being flimsy. the huge range of sizes gives a perfect fit.

 

[Bernster]

Same for me, the. Roeckl ones really like the fit and they feel light to wear.

Roeckl Chester, nothing else will do

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Mark Todd ones. So comfortable, I have worn a hole in one and actually have a new pair but I can't bring myself to wear them as the old ones are moulded nicely.?

 

[blitznbobs]

uvex - used to wear the roeckl ones but I was given a pair of Ives gloves and they are so much more comfy but equallygrippy

 

[saddlesore]

Another for Roeckle Chester ?

 

[CMcC]

egloves are great.

Thanks everyone. Loads of good suggestions to look at!

Roeckle definitely I have got some thinner ones for summer which are excellent then the thicker ones for winter they are the best fit for me and easy to put on and take off.

 

[little_critter]

I like the feel and fit of Roeckl Chester but the grippy coating does tend to wear off. I think my next purchase might be a pair of Macwets as I remember them being comfortable and the grip is intrinsic to the material they are made of, not reliant on a coating.
If I don’t get on with them then I’ll go back to the old favourite Roeckl.

Do we all stick with what we were told when we started to ride? Posh saddlery kitted me out for winter hacking with Roekl gloves.
But I also had woofwear fingerless for grooming. So one can feel every inch of skin. They seem to have gone out of existence.

Another vote for Roeckls here, I use those for the winter and the Noble Outfitters ones for the summer. I never pay full price though, I keep an eye out for tack shop sales and buy three pairs at once when there's a good discount! I love the Roeckls so much that I wear them for all sorts of things I shouldn't and then they don't last as long...I have happy hands though.

 

[Tinsel]

Another vote for the Roeckles gloves I have 2 pairs

 

[Muddywellies]

Oh dear, my Roeckl gloves haven't lasted at all so I won't buy again.

Ariat Tek Grip. And then a second pair of the Ariat Insulated Tek Grip in winter.

I love them and have been wearing them for the last 8 years. They last well and they aren’t bulky. Not silly expensive either.

I tried these a few years ago. The grippy stuff wore off very quickly and the underlying fabric seems to be made of the slippiest substance known to man.

Funny isn’t it. Never had this problem and I’ve had at least five pairs in this time! I did keep a pair for best when I was Eventing though, so they stayed mega grippy season after season ?

I've got slim hands with long slim fingers and find the Noble outfitters do a thin glove that's great for schooling and fits very well. I use Roeckl for hacking and they last ages.

Just resurrectedthis thread as I'm looking at getting some Macwet gloves,to those of you that have them just wondered how they fit (I have long fingers) and do you have the short or longer cuff

 

[little_critter]

I have macwet climatec and find they fit similar to Roeckl. I have long cuff but would get short cuff next time because the long cuff catches on my watch.
Looking to switch to macwet (non- climatec) from Roeckl when my current pair wear out.

 

[tda]

Ah thankyou, I have some old Roeckl so I'll find them and see what size they were .
