Designed for riders looking for equipment that combines elegance, reliability and durability, the Ophena stirrup leathers pair extra-fine calfskin leather with a reinforced construction designed to maintain its qualities ride after ride. Their refined finish and supple feel provide comfortable contact with the leg, while their technical construction helps maintain a consistent length. Available in black, cognac or havana, they can easily be matched with your saddle and riding equipment.
Ophena stirrup leathers: a nylon core for consistent length
The distinctive feature of the Ophena stirrup leathers is their non-stretch nylon core. This construction helps limit stretching over time and maintain a more consistent length on both sides. For the rider, this means more reliable adjustments and balanced support ride after ride. The core is combined with wear-resistant nylon stitching, providing the durability required in areas subjected to regular use. Ophena therefore combines the premium appearance of leather with an internal structure designed for regular and long-lasting use.
Extra-fine calfskin leather with a premium feel
The stirrup leathers are crafted from premium-quality calfskin leather, selected for its particularly soft feel while retaining the durability required for equestrian use. With a width of approximately 23.6 mm and a thickness of approximately 6.5 mm, they offer a substantial, high-quality construction designed to combine comfort, elegance and durability.
Aniline finish that preserves the natural character of the leather
Ophena uses an aniline dyeing process with soluble dyes to preserve the leather's natural appearance. Rather than concealing the hide beneath a surface treatment, this technique highlights its individual texture and shades. Slight variations in colour between pairs are therefore natural and contribute to the unique character of the product.
The leather also benefits from a modern eco-tanning process which, according to Ophena, recycles 99.99% of the chrome used during the tanning process.

How to care for your Ophena stirrup leathers
As aniline leather has no protective surface coating, it requires suitable care. Before first use, Ophena recommends thoroughly oiling the stirrup leathers. This type of leather can absorb more oil than leather with a surface finish, so apply the product gradually and follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of your chosen leather care product.
For regular maintenance, remove mud, dust and grease with a slightly damp cloth, then allow the stirrup leathers to dry naturally. You can then apply a high-quality leather grease, oil or conditioner, following the instructions of the chosen product.
Premium quality down to the finest details
With their supple calfskin leather, non-stretch nylon core and durable stitching, Ophena stirrup leathers are designed with both elegance and reliability in mind. Their aniline finish completes the design with the natural character expected from premium-quality leather tack.
