Riding gloves

[JTeighty]

Hi,

Am looking for a good pair of riding gloves. I've been using my cycling gloves but now theyre worn out. I need it to have very good grip and yet be very thin (almost like I'm not wearing anything). But they also need to last.

Any suggestions?

I've been looking at sealskinz ultragrip but dunno how thin they are?

Thanks
Jeremy

I got some woof wear neoprene ones just recently - and they are fantastic! Really lightweight and flexible, but warm and strong. Actually considering getting a second pair!

I have just bought some Ariat tech grip ones and I love them, they are reasonably priced, thin and warm. A friend has had some for years and they have lasted well too - well worth the money. If money is no object then Roekl (sp?) ones are great as well, I tried some on and they are the thinnest I could find, and look really smart. I couldn't really justify spending the extra £15 on them though, and the ariats are almost as nice!

Roeckl - I have thin summer ones and winter chesters, comfy, long-lasting, not bulky. easy to wash and smart.

If you are looking for cheapies that are warm, we found thin warm running gloves at Sports Direct that had grippy bits on the fingers. Can't remember the make I'm afraid. However they worked well as riding gloves ( lost already).

Roeckl almost feel like you aren't wearing gloves, I love them!

Echo this. Also use a pair as my show gloves. So comfy

Gloves are my "thing" and I've tried them all but nearly always come back to Tuffa leather gloves - great value and quality

Another vote for roeckl grips

Roeckl are ok but if you use them in conjunction with rubber reins you'll rub holes in them. Ariats are far better & last much longer.

Roeckl or Sealskinz for me

Not actual riding gloves but absolutely brilliant for grip, last for ages and allow a good amount of feeling through them and are very cheap. Excellent value for the money!

Ariats are the best I think

Love my Roeckl ones! so comfy!!

MacWet every time! I wore mine hunting on the wettest days and had amazing grip and they are so thin and comfy I forgot I was wearing them. I won't use anything else now.

MacWets all the way. They are comfy, all-weather and they last.

I ride with rubber reins and haven't noticed this but I am a one horse owner who rides 4-6 times a week - maybe different if you ride many horses a day.

My daughter only likes thin gloves, and her current favourites are CarrotsUK competition gloves. They seem to last well, are only £15 or so if that, seem to grip finem, even if wet and she uses them with rubber reins. Her oldest pair are probably 3 or 4 years old and still going strong (has 2 in rotation and a 'best' show pair.

Roeckl

 

[JTeighty]

Wow thanks for all the replies!!

Ok so Im looking at the ariat (air grip), roeckl (chester) and macwets.

Will the above keep my hands warmish in the winter too or do I need to go for winter gloves? I want an all year round glove (ie not too warm for summer but not too cold for winter).

Any further advice?

Thanks so much

Roeckl everytime.

I have the think Chesters and my hands don't seem to get that cold.

 

[KVH]

Ariat.

I swear by my Roekls in the warmer months but prefer my SSG gloves when its cold and they've lasted me years.
