Riding Gloves

[beckieswann]

I can't seem to find a comfortable pair anywhere! I hate thick ones as I like being able to feel! So far, I've gone through Woof Wear, Mark Todd, and the cheap cotton type ones you get (but they never last more than 5 minutes!), and have found the magic gloves to be great when hacking (but not when schooling!)

Does anyone have any recommendations?

I need white ones as well for when we go and do some Dressage competitions!

hmm, I really like the woof wear elites have you tried those? (partly cos I fit junior larges perfectly which is great and cheaper!)

I have Ariat Tek Grip? something like that. They come in summer and winter weight.

I treated myself to both three years ago and they are still going ok, although the summer ones are losing their grip a bit.

ETS these ones

I bite my nails so it's fine!

I'll have to invest in all of these - maybe persuade a couple of friends to buy a pair and borrow there's to see if I like

I like Kieffer leather gloves, they fit very close and snug but not restricting. i dont like 'chunky' gloves as feels this affects how you hold the reins & how you work with them. these gloves are great as only about £20, i have had a pair for just over a year now they are used riding every day & still holding out well, but if your looking for glvoes to keep your hands warm these probably arent the best option!!

Another vote for Macwets - they're brilliant. I left my Ariat ones at a local EC and they went awol, which was a shame, but if I'd lost the Macwets I'd have been furious - there's no comparison.

[beckieswann]

Another vote for MacWets. I wear these in Summer, and Ariat Tek's in the winter.

I hate thick gloves too, I swear by my Roeckl Lite and Grip gloves, they are fab, you have all the feeling that you need and they last pretty well.

SSG's. I also hate thick gloves for competing in and these are brilliant.

For when its really cold or at home, I use Seal Skinz riding ones - they're so cosy!
