Gloves

We say…

True to size fit. Small front zipped pocket zip was stiff, but eased with use. Full-seat offered security without being restrictive. Performed well in all weathers, from light to heavy rain, cold and wind. They washed well, and still look new.

 I really like these gloves – they kept my hands warm and dry, and the cuffs kept the rain and wind out. They aren’t bulky, which meant I could easily do fiddly tasks around the yard in them, and they offered excellent grip and feel on the reins while I was riding. However, I found the lining could slip a little. I’d buy them again because I think they’re versatile and good value for money.

The gloves had a very good grip, which was useful for both riding and yard work. They’re quite thick, so I preferred to hack in them rather than wear them for schooling, but I could still carry out most yard tasks with ease. They performed well in the rain, and kept my hands really warm and dry. I’d purchase them again for use in wet weather. 

I was impressed by these gloves. The palms were grippy, even when my horse was strong out hacking, and I had enough feel on the reins for schooling. They’re windproof and stood up well to rain. For such lightweight winter gloves, they’re really warm, but I’d have preferred a longer cuff, as I could get a gap between them and my jacket sleeves. Overall I think they’re great value and really smart. 

These gloves were very comfortable to ride in, with excellent grip and feel, and I was really pleased with how they performed. The mesh insert meant my hands didn’t get too hot, but it did allow the rain in and, because they don’t have a lining, I feel they’re best suited to warmer weather. However, they’re smart, and ideal for riding and competitions, so I’d buy them again.

These gloves were fantastic in cold, wet weather. Personally, I found them a little bulky for riding, but they were great for on the yard and generally being outside. The grippy palms were helpful for carrying heavy buckets and handling tools. I found them easy to slip on and off, and they’ve stood up well to wet, muddy conditions. For the price I thought they were good value for money. 

These gloves were very comfortable and grippy, even when it was really wet. They don’t keep your hands totally dry, but they’re designed to grip even when they’re wet through, which they do brilliantly. The mesh vents make them ideal for warmer weather and they’re tough enough to be used every day, but still smart to wear for competitions. I think they’re worth the money and I’d buy them again.

These were the best gloves I’ve ever had for grip, particularly in the wet. They resisted rain and, while not the warmest, were very breathable and flexible. I found them suitable to wear on the yard, too – the grip was second to none for handling tools. Although the design on the palms isn’t my usual style, I’d definitely buy these gloves again, as the flexibility and grip were the best I’ve had. 

These gloves were really comfy, and while they’re bulkier than my normal gloves, I still had sufficient feel on the reins for hacking and schooling. For a bulkier glove they’re pretty nimble and were fine to wear for most yard jobs, but I still took them off for fiddly tasks such as doing up my bridle or tightening my girth. I really rate them – they’re waterproof, windproof and really grippy, even when wet.

These gloves are really robust and perfect for around the yard. They’re ideal for very cold weather – very warm and waterproof. I found them a little bulky for my taste, particularly for riding, but the grip on the palms was great for leading horses in and out of stables without being too sticky. I thought the wrist straps were a really handy feature and I’d buy them again to wear on the yard. 

I liked these gloves and they kept my hands dry in the rain. Personally, I found them a little bulky for riding, but they’re great for yard work and keeping your hands really warm. I really liked the elasticated wrist – they were secure, but I could still easily slip them on and off. The reflective panels on the back are a useful feature for hacking and they stood up well to muddy conditions.  

I loved these gloves – they were completely waterproof and super-warm. As they’re a bit bulky, I was concerned I’d struggle to use my fingers for fiddly jobs, but I could still tie up haynets and easily adjust my reins while riding. The lining did start to slip a little, but I think it was because my hands were so warm. I’d recommend them, especially if you suffer from cold hands. 

These gloves were a bit stiff to ride in at first, but this did improve the more I used them. My hands stayed dry in light rain and didn’t get too sweaty on warmer days, but I feel they’re best suited to cooler weather. They were a little thick for undoing rugs and more fiddly yard work such as tying up haynets, but great for walking the dog and other general wear when it was chilly.

“They were waterproof, even when I dropped them in a puddle! However, they are very bulky to work in and hold reins.”

“These gloves were smart enough to use for both casual riding and at competitions. They fitted well, with stretchy material on the back of the hand for comfort when riding and reinforced material where the reins sit for durability. They washed well and feel like they will really last.  Although great for riding, they weren’t the warmest of gloves for general use around the yard and they lost some of their grip when wet.”

“They were very comfortable with a stretchy mesh patch across the knuckles, which provided unrestricted hand movement. They look smart for competitions with a strong fastening. The fingers seemed very long for a average person’s hand shape and finger length. Could be cold when worn in cold weather because of the mesh patch.”

“The design of these gloves makes it easier to close your fingers around the reins – they’re comfortable and a good fit. The sporty design may not appeal to everyone.”

“These look smart and are easily good-looking enough for competitions. They are comfortable and fit close to the skin, so you can do everything without taking them off. The elasticated wrist can rub if you overtighten it.”

“These feature a nice design and grippy palm. Because they’re quite patterned, they might not be suitable for use in dressage competitions.”

“I love these gloves to work in around the yard. They really did keep my hands warm. None, they are definitely good value for money.”

“These gloves are warm and a nice fit, the grip is good and they kept my hands dry in wet weather. I loved the design. They are a bit thick for my liking and the stitching wasn’t as durable as some.”

“They’re light and grippy in wet conditions. However, the fastening wasn’t as durable as others.”

“Comfortable, waterproof, stretchy and they keep your hands cool. They’re not warm and I think tough yard duties would take their toll on them, too.”

“They’re super-smart gloves for schooling and competing. Very breathable and they look great. They can get a bit slippery on rubber reins if it rains.”

“They were warm but so tactile – I was able to do up buckles, open supplement lids and even use a touchscreen phone. They keep out hay seeds and protect hands from blisters. Lightweight, yet warm and waterproof. Suitable for working around the yard or riding.”

“Very comfortable, thin and nice to ride and lunge in. They look good and are also great in the rain. Because they’re so breathable, they aren’t good for  keeping hands warm in winter.”

“They kept my hands warm and are lightweight enough to be able to have a good feel on the reins. They have an unusual design for riding gloves.”

“They’re lightweight and give a good feel on the reins. After weeks of continuous use, they were in great shape. I have small hands and the medium size was tight across the palm, but long in the fingers.”

“These are extremely comfortable. They’re not too hot or cold to wear, nor bulky, so they’re yard work/riding friendly. They prevented me from getting blisters when I was working and riding. Next time I would go up a size, as the medium-sized pair I tested was very snug, but they still felt very comfortable.”

“These are a nice design, comfortable and a good fit. I found the grip was less efficient when wet, so I wouldn’t feel secure going cross-country in them. Also, the wrist strap was large on me and did not tighten enough around the wrists.”

“These gloves are thin so they give you good grip on the reins. I wore them hunting and they were waterproof, kept my hands warm, the mud brushed off easily and they dried very quickly.  I didn’t find the wrist closure very durable.”
