I haven't got any Ceej but have heard good things. My tack shop has sold out of the "common" sizes in the "Ladies Winter Riding Glove" so they must be popular and I have ordered a pair. They do seem a little bulky and the "All Weather Riding Glove" feels better but prob not as warm but still water proof. I paid quitea bit for some Mountain Horse ones a couple of years ago and they were rubbish! Let you know what I think when they arrive Zx

They are on my Christmas list! I tried on a pair just yesterday and they do feel quite bulky but very snug too. I just can't justify forking out £30 on a pair of gloves. So made lots of hinting to OH that it would be lovely to find a pair under the tree!!

They can take the future that we'll never know, they can take the places that we said we would go, all the broken dreams, take everything, just take it away, but they can never have yesterday.

Ceej, they are great. I am a fellow chillblain sufferer and got some on my hands as well as feet last winter. The winter riding gloves are really snug and warm but I have to say I prefer the sealskinz ordinary riding gloves (but make sure you get the right size) - because they are waterproof, your hands don't get cold even in very chilly weather but you still have the finesse to ride etc/ open things etc. The winter gloves can get a bit warm and they are bulky and hard to do fiddly things with them on (although you do have feel on the reins) - I also found them hard to wash as the lining came out and was akward to put back in (that could be just me) - they are mega toasty I have to say.

I have the original sealskinz, they are brilliant for yard work, putting hands in water troughs, lifting ice, opening cold metal gates, in fact anything wet because you stay dry.

I find them uncomfortable to ride in but I don't really like any gloves, BUT I would go out and spend on the riding gloves as waterproof gloves are a gosend in winter nd I figure that they have designed the riding gloves for riding, the ones I have were more for mountain biking.

Wanted to say that the sealskin socks are brilliant for riding in, if you are doing a lot of walking they get a bit wet on the inside so trench foot can be an issue! (haha) but for riding they are wonderful.

Well I ended up with two pairs

Though one pair smaller than the other so I have a 'yard' pair and a 'riding' pair now. I must say they are FAB. On Boxing Day I was lifting sheets of ice from my troughs and didn't get a drop through. Love them
