I remember that my old horses synthetic leathers took ages to soften up, like they didn't stay flat against the saddle when there werent a rider there! But other than that they were great:) They can be bulky but it never bothered me, and I'm sure I have seen different thickness sizes in a catalouge? May have been width come to think of it..or may have been just day dreaming!

I've never had problems with my synthetic leathers poking out, but I have heavy flexible stirrups with metal cheesegrater treads - so they probably hold them down!

ive got the wintec ones, they were cheap and ahve done ok up to now, havnt stretched that ive seen but some of the holes are starting to split a little at the sides (will have to keep an eye on this!!!) they are no bulkier than leather leathers, and clean off easily with the wintec saddle shampoo x

i have never had a problem with my sythetic leathers sticking out although when a horse at the stables had them as they were being changes loads for different people to ride him they split really quickly in which case it was cheaper to invest in good quality leather leathers than spending loads on constantly replacing synthetics if you get what i mean, although his new leather leathers are way to long for me and i have to ride with a wrap round coz im short like savvy!!!
