riding gloves

Grip for reins

Riding gloves are gloves designed to be worn while controlling a horse or motorcycle.

Equestrian riding gloves provide grip on reins while protecting hands from friction and weather.

Motorcycle riding gloves are typically heavier, offering protection from wind, debris, and road abrasion in crashes: She pulled on her riding gloves before mounting.
