I got the missile snaring gloves and it works most of the time if they shot once, later on they shot twice which the 2nd one can't be caught for some reason.

it just depends, missile snaring uses your reaction to reduce damage by 1d10 + dex, so you only get 1 reaction per turn. Cindersnap gives you a spell for 10 turns of half ranged damage and disadvantage on ranged attacks against you. Cindersnap seems better, but you only get the 1 cast per short rest. The others always work once if you use your reaction but only reduce damage not give disadvantage. Depends if you want to micromanage casting that spell on yourself or not. Early game the missile snaring gloves are probably enough to negate ranged damage but not later game.

And actually you have to concentrate on the spell from cindersnap so keep that in mind if you need to concentrate on something else/it can be broken

Because you only have one reaction per turn on each character.

So if you have them on Gale and catch an arrow, you will not then be able to counterspell if they shoot a fireball at you right after.
