Freejump Classic Wide 42mm Stirrup Leathers
Description
Freejump Classic Wide Stirrup Leathers - 42 mm Stability Underfoot
The Freejump Classic Wide Stirrup Leathers are extra-wide 42 mm leather stirrup straps made from vegetable-tanned leather with a nylon and fibreglass fabric lining. They are best for riders using wide-eye stirrups - including NEW SOFT'UP PRO', SOFT'UP CLASSIC/CLASSIC+, AIR'S and AIR PURE - who want a secure stirrup, reliable leg fixity and less unwanted movement when schooling and jumping.
Compared with a standard-width leather, the wider 42 mm strap fills the stirrup eye more fully and distributes pressure across the leg, which many riders find steadier and more comfortable over long sessions. Holes spaced 15 mm apart allow fine length adjustment for your stirrup style and riding stance.

How to Use
- Check that your stirrup eye accepts a 42 mm wide strap before fitting.
- Thread the leather through the stirrup eye and buckle it so the holes face outwards and the loose end runs neatly downwards.
- Hang the buckled leather on the stirrup bar and close the safety catch according to your saddle maker's guidance.
- Set your length using the 15 mm spaced holes, then compare both sides by counting holes from the buckle.
- Ride in, then recheck the length on both sides once the leather has settled, adjusting a hole either way as needed.
- Wipe clean after use, dry naturally away from heat and condition the leather periodically.
FAQ
Will these leathers fit my stirrups?
They are designed for wide-eye stirrups and are specifically suited to NEW SOFT'UP PRO', SOFT'UP CLASSIC/CLASSIC+, AIR'S and AIR PURE stirrups. Measure your stirrup eye to confirm it accepts a 42 mm strap.
Why choose a 42 mm wide stirrup leather?
The wider strap fills a wide stirrup eye more completely, which helps prevent the stirrup twisting or shifting, and spreads pressure for comfort during longer schooling and jumping sessions.
How do I choose the right length?
Measure your existing leathers from the stirrup bar to the tread at your normal riding length and pick the closest comparable length. The 15 mm hole spacing then lets you fine-tune up or down.
What are they made from?
Vegetable-tanned leather with a nylon and fibreglass fabric lining, which adds strength and helps resist stretching.
How should I care for them?
Wipe off sweat and dirt after riding, let them dry naturally away from direct heat and apply a suitable leather conditioner. Inspect the holes and stitching regularly and replace the leathers if you see cracking, stretching or damaged stitching.
Are they suitable for jumping?
Yes. The wide profile and durable construction are intended to minimise movement and provide leg fixity, which suits schooling and jumping as well as general riding.
