I usually wear Roeckl Roeckl-grip but I find them too hot now in the summer.
I tried a pair of knit backed gloves but could barely get them on over my hand ( even two sizes up).
Suggestions?
I’ve checked the local stores and will probably buy on line ….
Roeckl has their suntan gloves with a mesh backing. Be aware that they are a bit delicate, but they are fabulous for hot, humid summer days.

1000% these!
I love the SSG Crochet riding gloves for summer. Can’t stand synthetic material when it’s hot or humid. Guess it boils down to personal preference.
I love these and I’ve had quite a few pairs over the years because they can be delicate, as mentioned. This year I bought the LeMieux version, and they’re quite similar, yet more durable.
I am also a roeckl fan generally, but have a pair of these, and am about to order another pair. They work for me in Florida summers. And the $20’s price point is great.

Kunkel mesh back gloves. I use pebble grip rubber reins and these are holding up really well, whereas I’ve had other gloves get destroyed really quickly. They also fit me well; I have a problem with fingers being too short on many brands.
I have not seen that brand…
I have a pair of PS of Sweden mesh back gloves that are quite nice.
I’ve never got on with the Heritage gloves. The seam placement is all wrong for my hands and I think the fingers are too wide/big.
yes, I can see that would be a problem. I’m glad they fit me!
I got them from Big Dee’s.
I switched to SSG Grand Prix gloves this summer and really like them. They’re breathable, washable, and seem like they’ll hold up a long time.
I just bought a pair of Kinkel. I had never seen them in my local stores but SunSpree Equestrian had them at this weekends show in Newberry.
Well priced. Feel like Roekls. I’ll report back after I ride in them.
I do think the fingers might be a bit short but I don’t have fingernails….
I have these…on my second pair. If you can find them I love them.

I love Uvex gloves. As a matter of fact, I need to order a new pair. These are really lightweight AND grippy.

Both are airy and light.

I wear these but my OG pair has lasted for literally YEARS. I sewed up a loose seam on them last week, as a matter of fact. They are the only gloves that I can tolerate in the Texas summers.
I too love the SSG crochet back gloves
