    First impressions

    Smart in appearance, good all-round practical-looking glove.

    Overview of performance

    I found these gloves were slightly tight on the cuff, but did offer a close-contact feel on the reins. The mesh back ensured there was plenty of airflow, but I found the fingers weren’t quite long enough, making them shallow in fit. These glove were good on very hot days as I didn’t get warm hands at all, and they offered plenty of grip.

    Likes and dislikes

    I like the colour of these gloves with the suede palm. They did offer a good range of movement and a close-contact feel. It was just a shame that they weren’t a little bigger. They are also quite expensive.

    Verdict

    A good all-round training and competition glove, but order a size bigger than normal
