Flex On stirrups - are they worth it?

[DressageCob]

I am an absolute sucker for good marketing and new trends. And flex on stirrups have caught my eye.

I only really do dressage these days. I don’t have any knee or ankle problems, but do have a tendency to grip with my lower leg, particularly in sitting trot. This makes my stirrup flap around sometimes but it’s nothing major.

I currently have Tech stirrups, which I like. But I’m wondering about getting flex ons for Christmas. Otherwise maybe new sunglasses for the Cyclopes pony

Are they worth it? Any experiences? Any good alternatives?
Thanks!

yes. Everyone who rides in mine goes out and buys their own. They really are as good as the hype.

Definitely. My friend/trainer laughed at me when I got my first pair but after riding my horse with them she went out and bought a pair for herself.

I love mine,. I was dubious about them but I got a gift voucher and decided to try them and I think they are amazing. I do a lot of xc and I find the grips work really well in water and rain, I never seem to lose my stirrups now or slip out of them. I find landing after jumps in them a lot easier too, I hate riding in other stirrups now.
