When i first got my gloves i never thought of them as protection I only wore them because my hopping hand started to go all dry where the saddle handle rubbed. I still don't really see them as protection as i only have light x gloves they are really airy and my hands don't sweat in them much which is v. nice :-). how much protection do glove really give you?

I wear gloves mainly to stop blisters, but they also give me a fair bit of protection, and make me feel safer. That's actually one of the main reasons for wearing all of my padding...it gives me confidence. I have gotten some big bruises though while wearing gloves from hard falls...they don't help bruise-wise at all unless they're fancy ones.
