Recommend me some Close Contact Stirrup Leathers

[MiJodsR2BlinkinTite]

As title.

These are the stirrup leathers used by dressage and/or treeless saddle riders.........

Can anyone recommend any they use? I have to confess I'm not too sure about the ones that fasten with a "T-bar" TBH; my main worry being that they wouldn't be secure.

So any recommendations (or ones to avoid) welcome.

Thanks. Warm bedsocks and choccy muffin to all responders

Equipe Mono Leathers are really good - they have a non stretch nylon core but they fasten with buckles not T Bars which are much safer and more secure. They only come in one length though so if you are not on the tall side may need more holes punching in..
For light use the T Bars are ok but I have known them to tear and 'drop' to the next hole when under pressure - not a nice feeling going over a jump! Stubben do buckle end ones too but they dont come with the sleeve over the buckle and made a bit of a mess on a friends saddle flap.. Only problem with buckle ones is that you cant run your stirrups up..
Im not really a stirrup leather bore - just want the bedsocks!

I saw some lovely soft Stubben Mono leathers the other day at Snack and Tack who also sell online.
