Full details

The LeMieux Vector Close Contact Stirrup Leathers are designed for riders seeking improved stability and a closer feel with their horse. Crafted from high-quality, soft leather with a nylon inner lining to prevent stretching, these leathers offer durability and comfort. A key benefit is the innovative T-bar design which allows for buckle removal for an even more connected ride. One potential consideration is the specific care required for leather products to maintain their longevity.

FAQs

What is the main advantage of the T-bar design?

The T-bar design allows for the removal of the traditional buckle, creating a smoother, flatter surface against the saddle flap and promoting a closer contact feel between the rider and the horse.

Will these stirrup leathers stretch over time?

No, the LeMieux Vector Stirrup Leathers feature a nylon inner lining specifically designed to prevent stretching, ensuring consistent length and performance.

How should I clean my stirrup leathers?

Clean the leather parts with a damp cloth to remove dirt and sweat. Allow them to air dry naturally away from heat sources. Use a specialized leather care product for conditioning.

Are these stirrup leathers suitable for all disciplines?

Yes, they are suitable for most equestrian disciplines. The close contact design is particularly favored by riders in dressage, eventing, and show jumping who seek enhanced communication with their horse.

What are the buckles made of?

The buckles are made of durable, rust-resistant stainless steel.

How do I maintain the leather's condition?

Regularly clean and condition the leather parts with appropriate equestrian leather care products to keep them soft, supple, and protected.

Can I use them with any stirrup irons?

They are compatible with most standard stirrup irons. Ensure the stirrup iron's eyelet fits securely around the leather or the T-bar.

Troubleshooting

Stirrup leathers feel stiff.

Apply a quality leather conditioner and allow it to absorb. This may take a few applications for new leathers.

T-bar causes discomfort.

Ensure the T-bar cover is correctly attached and positioned. Adjust the stirrup leather slightly or try a different buckle setting. If discomfort persists, revert to using the traditional buckles.

Leathers appear to be stretching unevenly.

This is unlikely due to the nylon inner lining. Ensure both leathers are adjusted to the exact same hole. If a specific leather consistently lengthens, contact customer support.

Buckles are difficult to fasten.

Ensure the buckle tongue is correctly aligned with the hole. Clean any dirt from the buckle and holes. If the issue persists, check for any damage to the buckle or leather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Attach the stirrup irons to the stirrup leathers using the standard stirrup bar on your saddle.
  2. Adjust the length of the leathers to your preferred riding position.
  3. For a closer contact feel, you can detach the traditional stainless steel buckles and utilize the T-bar design. Ensure the T-bar cover is correctly positioned to prevent pinching.

Compatibility:

These stirrup leathers are designed to be compatible with most standard saddles and stirrup irons. Always check the dimensions of the stirrup iron eyelet to ensure a proper fit with the stirrup leather buckle or T-bar.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the leather parts with a damp cloth to remove dirt and sweat after use. Allow to air dry away from direct heat.
  • Conditioning: Regularly apply a quality leather care product specifically designed for equestrian leather. This will keep the leather soft, supple, and protected from drying out.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent the leather from cracking or fading.
