TECH Stirrups (Which are the best for dressage?)

[Passage2]

Time to purchase new stirrups and I’m hearing great things about these stirrups. I’m lost at all the options and need help. Tell me your fav Tech Stirrup!!!

There’s a post ‘Safety stirrups that dont cost $300’ that has a lot of good suggestions. I have the Tech Venice and I love them.

@Passage2, here is a link to the thread that @Phean mentioned.

Safety stirrups that don't cost $300?

Riding my very green 5yo I have been trying to do everything I can to make myself safer. I need some safety stirrups but I can’t seem to find anything that is dressage legal and isn’t $300+. I liked the Acavallo ones but when I was looking on Smartpak they said they’re only 4 1/4" wide, which isn’t nearly wide enough for my womens 11.5 feet. Are the old fashioned foot free stirrups that have an S bend on the outside branch any good? They’re certainly the best price and I like that they’re simple…

I have the Acavallo’s and really like them.

I have a pair of the standard (not safety) Tech dressage stirrups…I think it’s the Capri model. I like them a lot! They’ve got some weight to them, the footbed is just grippy enough, and the black ones look really sharp.

I have a pair of the LeMieux Vector stirrups as a safety pair but…they live in the box. I just didn’t care for the feel…they’re too light and the footbed seems narrow (width-wise). But people love them so…it’s all very personal in terms of what we do and don’t like, I’ve found.
