Comments: LOVE these! Just got them with my new saddle a couple of months ago and they are nicer than the older style I have on my old saddle- so much so that I'm getting a new pair of these for that one as well. Very easy to adjust and I love the little sleeve that slides over your t-post adjuster to make it more secure. Very comfortable- don't really even notice them while I'm riding! Best of all, they are lightweight!

Comments: These things will change your life! They completely eliminate bulk between your leg and the saddle, and are just as attractive as traditional leathers. I'm getting a pair for every saddle in the barn!

Comments: I don't think anyone who tries these is ever disappointed. When deciding to go to the webber style leathers, I waffled between these and the more expensive Bates brand. I am so glad I chose these. I have been using these for more than a year and have had zero problems. I use the same saddle for both horses which means these leathers get used 7 - 10 times a week, if not more. The hole that I use has definitely started to show some wear, but I use the top hole to run my stirrups up so the t-hook comes out at least once a day. Even with the small amount of wear that is showing, the webbers are holding up really well. For durability, I can't complain at all. They are also super comfortable. I don't think that I could ever go back to traditional leathers after these.

Comments: These are the very best invention for the saddle since the sheepskin seat cover came along. Love, love, love my webbers! The only difficult thing was the sizing. I'm 5'4" but I ride with stirrups on the shorter side so I wasn't sure if I should get the medium or the small. I ride a Wintec dressage saddle with endurance stirrups. I went with the small. The first ride I started out with them on the very lowest hole I could, it is 3 from bottom, and they were too short. By the end of that ride they had stretched out enough I decided to give them one more ride before I exchanged them. By the end of the second ride, they were perfect. When I replace this set, I will probably get the medium just to have the extra stirrup length if someone else rides my saddle. Would recommend this product to anyone who rides. So comfortable!

Comments: Best thing since the horse. I loved these from the first time I used them. They definitely eliminate bulk from buckles. As I've aged, it's harder for me to mount from the ground, but with the webbers I can lower them to the max, hop up in the saddle and easily readjust them in seconds. I also find them easier to switch between saddles. I would purchase them again in a heartbeat.

Comments: A great option! I purchased these originally to go with my Wintec Pro Dressage saddle. I ended up selling the saddle, but still used the them on my next saddle, which was leather. I never had any issues and loved the design of these. They were used for several years and while they started to show wear, were still in good usable condition when I passed them on to a friend. They are super easy to adjust from the ground or saddle and I love that they have the higher hole for putting your stirrups "up." Many of the more expensive, leather mono types do not have this and you have to cross the stirrups over the saddle to keep them up while stored. Definitely a good buy!

Comments: I have a 30-inch inseam and ordered the medium size, which gives me plenty of room to keep them very long for trail rides in my dressage saddle, or to shorten them up a few notches for jumping in the area. These are super easy to adjust, even while in the saddle. They also look nice and neat. I had a very old pair of wintec webbers that were lent to me, and I liked them so much I bought a new pair this spring. I use them with Compositi Stirrups.
From: Dana, Connecticut, USA
Comments: These are very cheaply made. I've had mine for only 8 months and have to throw them away. The "heavy duty" nylon core is very thin, they are already fraying where they attach to the stirrup bar. The adjustment hole I use is worn out and won't keep the T buckle secure. These might be ok for light use, but I wouldn't trust them for any distance or performance riding.
