Bates Choice Webbers

Traditional leathers have a bulky buckle that sits under your thigh, which can create pressure points and interfere with your leg position. Bates Lux Webbers use a single-piece loop-over design with a bottom 'T' hook, eliminating that bulk entirely for a closer contact feel.

Yes, the bottom-buckle configuration is specifically designed for easy adjustment while mounted. You can simply reach down and manipulate the 'T' hook to change your stirrup length without needing to dismount.

These work exceptionally well with flapless saddles or saddles with extended skirts where a traditional buckle would be visible or uncomfortable. They are compatible with most standard stirrup bars, though they are optimized for the Bates system.

The Lux leather is a high-quality, smooth-finish material that is durable for daily use. To keep it in top condition, wipe it down after rides and apply a quality leather conditioner periodically to maintain suppleness and prevent drying.

The length you choose depends on your leg length and the type of riding you do. Bates offers 24, 28, and 32-inch options, so measure your current leathers from the top of the bar to the stirrup eye to find the closest match.
