Freejump stirrups-to buy or not to buy?!

[fliss26]

So I am sure this has been done to death but I currently have a WOW saddle that I love, my only criticism is it feels extremely heavy to me with my current stirrup irons in comparison to any other saddle so I have been looking at getting some new stirrups and the freejumps look to be good and fairly popular at competitions with other riders.

But I am slightly confused as I am not sure they will work with my WOW stirrup leathers and are they light enough to make much difference to the weight of my WOW? They are far too expensive to buy on a whim so any experiences will be greatly received!

I should add I will be using these in general riding club activities so would opt for black, I assume they are dressage legal?!

I have used free jumps for a couple of years now. I love them. Can't say I've noticed if they are lighter than standard stirrups. The main reason I bought them was the safety aspect. Having young horses I wanted to be sure if I fell off my foot wouldn't get stuck . The grip on them is very good too.

Love my freejumps but don't have a Wow saddle so can't advise on how they would work together.
Use every time I ride so worth the money. Don't keep on my saddle though as found they were marking the leather, so take them off after use. Guess I could buy some stirrup pockets but I haven't!

I use freejumps with all my wow's (I have 3, 1xDressage, 1xGP and 1xJump)
They work very well with the WOW webbers.

I also have black free jumps and have done a lot of dressage, never been pulled up for them.
