I have found riding gloves that I enjoy using. I’ve tried several different brands in the past - they didn’t fit, or didn’t give me the feel I wanted. So I usually ride bare-handed. Last winter I rode in nitrile gardening gloves.
Last month I saw some goatskin leather ones that fit nicely. I’ve ridden in them and must say they offer good feel and flexibility. I can buckle the throatlatch without any problem, for example. Stress points - over the knuckles, between the fingers - are not leather - they’re knit. They’re machine washable.
They’re made by the Louisville Slugger Co. Listed at $50, which is more than I paid at the feed store. They come in black, brown and white. www.bionicglove.com. Look for “equestrian” under the pull-down menu. Very comfortable and appear to be well-made. They also have equestrian show gloves.
Just wanted to pass this along in case someone is looking for comfortable gloves.
