Wintec webbers for jumping? Does anyone use them?

[kerilli]

i'm so pleased with my new webbers on my dr saddle, never had them before and they make a big difference to my comfort, i'd never realised how uncomfy the stirrup buckles were. just wondering whether anyone uses them for sj/xc too? are they strong enough?
thanks!

Blues owner uses them for flatwork, but finds they come off occasionally if she jumps in them. Needless to say I use her old leathers for jumping

I've been told never to use them when jumping. If you have an awkward jump and you bring your foot up, I believe they can sometimes come undone.

ah, just what i was afraid of. hmm.
would have to fold up ends of stirrup bars then. i never ride with my feet home in the stirrups, so it should be alright...

Ive had plenty of awkward jumps in mine and they havent slipped off, thats on both a very horizontal barred wintec and a lemetex saddle.
You would really have to push your legs right back and do an Ellen Whitaker extreme to get them off!
Mine are the Bates leather ones and the non holey Wintec ones.

I don't use them, but alot of people at my yard do and have never had any problems with them.

I don't use the wintec ones but I have something similar -

I jump in them all the time and have never had a problem. The loop at the top is a neat fit around the stirrup bar on my saddle so if anything I think it would be less likely to slip off than a conventional stirrup leather.

I use the WoW ones all the time for jumping and never have a problem.

I use Kieffer leather dressage leathers for both - no problem.

I use the wintec pro webbers for jumping. I would have used the Bates ones, but they don't make them for short people!

I ditched the wow ones, as I didn't find then very comfy
