sealskinz

Its my birthday next week and I was thinking about asking for a pair of warm, hard wearing riding gloves. I have small hands, so they would have to fit quite well too.
Are sealskinz any good? If not, is there anything else that you would recommend?

I got mine for christmas last year and they are fab. Have worn really well and they get used all year as I have nesh baby-soft skin which rubs off really easily if I don't wear gloves!
Well worth the money IMO

I have small hands too!! I hated mine i wore them about twice and found them really cumbersome i have never worn them since.
There was another thread in stable yard the other day have a look in there for more opinions!

I've got a pair!

I don't wear mine to ride in I find them a bit stiff (although I might do for hacking out in vile wet weather, I ride mainly indoors at the moment so the wet weather gear doesn't get much use).

They are great for stable chores though, the grip means you can use a fork or carry stuff etc but your hands stay dry.

I don't think small hands would be a problem. In fact it would probably be an advantage, mine are too stubby fingered for me really!

Daughter had small hands when she had hers. she didnt have a problem with them, they lasted one and a half winters, and would have gone on longer except she lost one.
