Jumping stirrup leathers

[cosmo_sam]

Anyone any advice for an "investment" pair. ie. ones not likely to stretch much when riding shorter

 

[lucemoose]

saw this in the comp bit, i cant afford anything like those makes mentioned!I have a pair of treadstone non stretch, look exactly like the more posh versions! I also used the bates webbers, the leather version of the wintec webbers which are lovely if you like to have a good, close contact to the saddle flap. They are non stretch too as they have a nylon core.

Thanks

I think I've heard about the nylon core ones, but not known anyone have used them.

Thanks again!

will look into it.

Bates leathers have a webbing core so they don't stretch, they are considerably more expensive than alot of other leathers though.

ones with the cores are good. have to say one pony i ride has synthetic leathers (anybody know the ones im on about, they are leather but the synthetic stuff) and we jump that pony quite often and his haven't stretched at all

[JustKickOn]

i have no idea! they are leather and look and feel like it but my instructor said they were the synthetic type. don't ask me im the most rubbish person to ask to explain stuff!!

Do you mean Equileather, the stuff Wintec saddles are made of?? And the same as Wintec leathers are made of??

I have a couple of pairs of excelle leathers, they have the webbing strip running through them, excellent, expensive but well worth it......

I have these and they are excellent - good for dressage too!

Heard really good things about the ones with nylon cores. Just wanted to say do NOT get Stubben leathers they stretch soooo much, or mine did anyway!
