Choosing the Right Freejump Stirrups, Leathers & Airbags

Selecting the right Freejump equipment depends on your riding discipline, experience level, and personal preferences. Understanding the purpose behind each specific model will help you choose the best setup for your riding goals.

• Freejump Soft'Up Pro+ Stirrups: Featuring enhanced foot release technology and an extra-wide outer branch, these are the ultimate choice for showjumping and eventing, providing exceptional grip on technical courses.
• Freejump Soft'Up Lite Stirrups: Designed for younger riders or those with smaller feet (up to UK size 6.5), the Lite range offers the same flexible outer branch safety principles in a lighter, scaled-down design.
• Freejump AIR'S Stirrups: For riders who prefer a more traditional stirrup appearance, the AIR'S range combines a classic stainless steel profile with modern shock-absorption footbeds and customizable orientation.
• Freejump Stirrup Leathers: Pairing your stirrups with specialist Freejump mono leathers helps pull your leg into the correct position and significantly reduces unwanted movement against the saddle flap.

Many riders focus solely on the safety release mechanism, but tread width and stud placement are just as important. Modern Freejump safety stirrups feature wider footplates with integrated steel studs that increase support, improve rider balance, and drastically reduce foot and knee fatigue during longer training sessions.  Combining your Freejump Stirrups with a wide stirrup leather from the Freejump Stirrup Leathers collection aids your leg position and stability.

The Freejump Difference: Safety Release & Shock Absorption

Freejump has become one of the most respected names in rider safety by continually investing in biomechanical innovation. Designed with input from leading international riders, every product is built to improve comfort, confidence, and performance in the saddle.

• Flexible Outer Branches: Made from technical elastollan to assist with foot release in the event of a fall.
• Shock-Absorbing Spring Steel: Single-branch spring steel frames that absorb high impacts, reducing strain on ankles, knees, and hips.
• High-Grip Footbeds: Extra-wide treads with raised steel studs for unrivaled stability and rider confidence in wet conditions.
• Ergonomic Openings: An open eyelet angle that allows the stirrup leather to hang naturally, helping you recover a lost stirrup easily.

Pro Tip: Regularly clean the grip inserts and footplates of your stirrups, especially during winter. Mud, sand, and arena surfaces can build up over time and reduce the effectiveness of the steel studs. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents on the flexible outer branches.
