I will never buy any brand other than Heritage Gloves for my riding gloves. They are the best riding gloves on the market.
These gloves are a bit thicker than normal, it has Thinsulate material, which is the best material for protecting from clod weather. I recommend you wear these gloves in the beginning as much as you can so that you and your hands can get used to gripping with it. At first it's a bit hard and thick, but after a few weeks wearing them everyday you hands get used to the grip and you can hold the mane and reins normally. If you're riding an easy horse, then you don't even have to worry about that.
For the first time in my life, my hands and fingers were warm while riding in 25 degrees weather with a 20mph wind. Amazing product and definitely will buy again.
