stirrup leathers

[Missmac]

What stirrup leathers do people with synthetic saddles use?

I have a t4 and im having a nightmare finding ones that i get on with. I hate the thorougood ones. I found them so stiff and really difficult to adjust.

I currently am using an old set of leather ones but the stitching is going and i need some new ones as soon as possible.

Thank you.

Leather, every time. I have one synthetic and two leather saddles and it's leather all round! I find synthetic ones squeak, especially on synthetic saddles. Leather looks much better, too

Will leather not trash the saddle? I was under the impression that leather on synthetic was a no-no!

Uh, not in my experience, but maybe I've been lucky

I hope not I have a synthetic with leather stirrup leathers and mine are both fine

I've always used leather on synthetic

Good news! Thank you guys!

Shall go and get some nice new leather ones!

Definitely leather ones! I think the problem mixing the two comes when you use synthetic leathers on a leather saddle, as the synthetic ones wear the saddle down.
