We have revised and significantly shortened the length structure of our mono stirrup leathers. The background to this is the practical use of modern mono strap systems: Due to their special construction and attachment to the saddle, mono stirrup leathers generally require shorter lengths than classic stirrup leathers.
With the new length graduation, we want to enable a better fit and easier selection of the correct size.
Why were the lengths adjusted?
Mono stirrup leathers are guided differently than classic double stirrup leathers. This results in a different effective length between the saddle and stirrup. In practice, it has been shown that many riders get along better with significantly shorter mono leathers.
For this reason, we have adjusted the sizes and reduced the overall lengths.
