I have had several synthetic bridles for well over 10 years. I love that you can just dunk them in a bucket of soapy water or sponge them off after use. I just bought these reins to replace a pair of older reins that did not have the rubber grips. I like these. They are not stiff and from a distance they look like leather reins.

Pros: Easy to Clean, Long Lasting, Durable, Non Slippery

Cons: None I can think of

My rubber reins are made by weaver. They are synthetic and come with a matching bridle. They are wonderful wrap around reins that don't slip and give me a sense of confidence when riding. Weaver always comes out with the nicest products that aren't just durable and nice looking, but are effective and purposeful.

Pros: No slip, easy to clean

Cons: None
