Product Information

Full details

The Mackey Stability Stirrup Leathers are designed for riders across all disciplines who seek improved leg positioning and reduced joint strain. By utilizing a wide-body design that maximizes surface area against the saddle flap, these leathers provide a secure, stable feel; however, riders accustomed to traditional narrow leathers may find the initial break-in period requires an adjustment to their tactile feedback.

FAQs

Can these be used on all saddle types?

Yes, they are compatible with most standard English-style stirrup bars.

Will the wide design rub against my leg?

The wide design is intended to sit flat against the saddle flap rather than your leg, which should actually reduce friction compared to thin, twisting leathers.

How do I maintain the stainless steel hardware?

Wipe the buckles with a damp cloth after every ride to remove sweat and dirt, which prevents mineral buildup.

Do I need special stirrup irons for these leathers?

No, they are compatible with standard stirrup irons.

Are these suitable for children?

Yes, however, ensure the length is appropriate for the rider's leg length to maintain safety.

Troubleshooting

Leather feels stiff upon arrival

Apply a leather conditioner and work the material through your hands to soften the fibers before first use.

Difficulty threading the buckle through the saddle bar

Ensure the leather is angled correctly; the wide body is designed to fit flush, so verify there is no twisting at the top loop.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up these leathers, slide the T-bar end through the stirrup bar of your saddle, ensuring the leather is correctly oriented so the wide portion rests against the saddle flap. When caring for your Mackey leathers, use a high-quality leather conditioner to maintain suppleness and prevent cracking. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners on the stainless steel buckles; simply wipe them down with a damp cloth after each ride to remove sweat and grit. Always check that the buckle is fully seated in the hole to prevent slipping while mounted.
