Prior to trying these breeches, I tried three other brands. I really wanted a pair of white breeches with either a grey or tan seat. The Olympia's have a lovely, subtle beige seat.
I am 5'8" and usually wear a size 28 or 29, so initially I tried the 28 regular. They were just a touch too small and short, so I went for a 30 long. Perfection! The material has just the right amount of stretch, and is not totally sheer. I still think it would be wise to go with nude colored underwear. I haven't ridden in them yet, so my durability rating is just based on how well I think these breeches are constructed. I did hear a rumor that SmartPak will not be carrying these anymore, which would be a tragedy. I've already recommended these to my friend, and she's getting a pair, too!

These breeches fit well, look nice, and hold up quite well. However, they have a major design flaw - the Clarino does not come far enough towards the front of the leg and the seam can end up sitting right where your knee is in contact with the saddle. If you grip with your knees or if your knee rubs against the saddle/knee roll for whatever reason, this can cause horrible chafing. I have scarring from one unfortunate ride in these! Since I already own them I still ride in them occasionally, but only in certain saddles and only with very relaxed, long legs. Maybe I got a funny pair, but I wouldn't buy them again, which is a shame because they are otherwise great breeches for a very reasonable price. The elastic calfs are especially nice.

I just got a pair of these, and LOVE how they fit and how stretchy they are! They were very comfortable, fit perfectly, and looked good!!
The only reason I gave 3 stars for Durability is I haven't ridden in them yet! I'm sure they'll hold up great like my other Ariats have!!!
I definitely wish you could carry them in more colors! I found my charcoal ones on Ebay, but really need a pair of tan!

These are awesome breeches but you really need to start carrying them in more colors so I won't have to go elsewhere to buy them!

I love these breeches! I have to say that they fit better and are more flattering than my really expensive/fancy ones. They wash up nicely and just look the best. The calf system is great and they have turned me into an Ariat girl. They are not too high but not too low of a rise...just right! I am 5'10" and they work great for me. I would highly recommend these breeches...and any All Circuit Ariat Breeches!

These breeches are amazing, I wish I had them in every color and the knee-patch as well! I have wide hips and often have issues with breeches stretching out and loosing their form while riding, but these retain their shape, fit and stay in place. The material these are made from is also very cooling. I would definitely recommend these :)
