Developed with your comfort and safety in mind. Bates Stirrup Leathers are extremely supple and slimline, featuring a stainless steel riveted buckle to reduce the thickness of leather under your leg, eliminating any interference. The webbing core ensures they will not stretch and cause unevenness. When fitting your Bates stirrup leathers to your saddle, if they feature a rolled edge we recommend that the rolled leather edge faces towards the rear/back of your saddle to maximise performance and minimise wear and tear.
