Grippy Stirrup Leathers - Triple Covered Close Contact Stirrup Straps with Enhanced Grip

Triple Covered Grippy Stirrup Leathers for Close Contact Saddles

Experience superior leg stability and security with these innovative grippy stirrup leathers featuring triple covered construction and enhanced grip technology. Designed specifically for close contact and jumping saddles, these premium stirrup leathers provide exceptional traction that helps riders maintain proper leg position during flatwork, jumping, and cross-country riding. The unique grippy surface creates friction between your leg and the leather, reducing slippage and allowing more effective communication with your horse. Triple layer covered construction eliminates bulk and creates a smooth, flat surface against your leg, while the seamless design prevents weak points where traditional stitched leathers typically fail. Pre-stretched at the factory to prevent uneven length changes, these leathers maintain consistent balance and help you achieve optimal riding position. Stainless steel flat buckles provide secure attachment and smooth adjustment, making these grippy leathers essential equipment for serious jumpers and eventers.

Care & Maintenance Instructions

Clean stirrup leathers regularly with a damp cloth to remove dirt, sweat, and arena dust. The grippy surface requires minimal maintenance but should be kept clean for optimal performance. Apply quality leather conditioner every 2-3 weeks to maintain suppleness, avoiding excessive product on grippy areas. For thorough cleaning, use saddle soap with warm water, then condition after cleaning. Inspect buckles and adjustment holes regularly for signs of wear, especially if jumping frequently. Store in a cool, dry tack room away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid leaving leathers buckled at the same hole for extended periods to prevent permanent creasing.

Ideal Use Cases

These specialized grippy stirrup leathers are perfect for riders who jump regularly and need maximum leg security. Ideal for show jumping, eventing (especially cross-country and stadium phases), hunter courses, equitation over fences, and any discipline where maintaining leg position over jumps is critical. The enhanced grip technology makes them particularly valuable for riders learning to jump, those working on improving leg stability, or experienced competitors who demand reliable equipment for high-level competition. Excellent choice for riders who struggle with leg slippage, those jumping larger fences where security is paramount, and eventers who need dependable leathers for demanding cross-country courses. The close contact design works perfectly with jumping saddles and forward-seat riding positions.

Compatibility & Installation

These grippy stirrup leathers are specifically designed for close contact jumping saddles and forward-seat saddles with standard stirrup bars. Compatible with all close contact saddles, jumping saddles, and eventing saddles. Installation is straightforward: thread the leather through your saddle's stirrup bar, attach your stirrup iron to the bottom loop, and adjust to your preferred riding length using the clearly numbered holes. The stainless steel flat buckles secure firmly to the stirrup bar while maintaining low profile under your leg. Not recommended for dressage saddles or saddles where traditional smooth leathers are preferred. The grippy surface is designed specifically for riders who need enhanced leg stability during jumping and active riding.
