I love these breeches. They have a great fit (you do need to go down 2 sizes but you should be fine if you follow the sizing guide). They are comfortable, hold up well in the wash, and look great. Great grip and material in the seat material and comfy stretchy material everywhere else. I wish I had one in every color!

"I purchased these on sale, and feel that they were worth the 30 bucks. However, the fit is a little off. they're stylish and mostly comfy. The legs look and feel great, but the waist is tight. This is strange because the leg is even a little loose. they definitely leave enough room for my thigh and butt, just tight in the waist. With some alterations I can wear them, but probably won't buy another pair.

I purchased these on sale, and feel that they were worth the 30 bucks. However, the fit is a little weird. I won't return them because the price was so good, and they're stylish and mostly comfy. The legs and calf look and feel great, but the waist is tight. This is strange because the leg is even a little loose. The front also goes very high on your stomach, and goes very low in the back. I'm fine riding in them and walking around in them.

They're Fuller Fillies super stylish, meaning really great looking breeches, VERY stylish plaid and the panel is nice..I've read grippy and I think this is probably so. Once I found the right size to work with, I am super pleased with them.
They're a very snazzy plaid. I ended up with the brown herringbone with brown panels, but they are two sizes bigger than my normal FF size. But judging by the first pair I bought, the sizes are oddly constructed. I found the autumn red sizing completely wrong...maybe it's the nonstretch panel that throws them off. The colors of the autumn red are gorgeous...but the thighs are absurdly narrow and they didn't go up entirely.
The cotton/spandex material is thickish and appears very durable - can't say but trying them on and looking them over, they're very well made. I have to wash them and use them later this week and a few times after to know for sure...but I have high hopes.
These are a great value on sale. I would not hesitate to buy another pair. I may get another pair just because I think I've found the way around this sizing issue.
MINUS:
1. the faux suede panel does not stretch, so you have an odd contrast sensation of stretchy material being pulled at by non stretchy material, particularly around the butt. Fortunately they seem to have been well sewn so they will hold up. Because I bought them bigger I'm going to have to alter them once they're washed to pull the waist much tighter. But overall, the fit in hips and leg is correct for me but it's a little off putting. However, this can be the reality of shopping sight unseen for a woman with flesh.
2. the stretchy material is stiff right out of the box. so I'm going to hot water wash and soften them to death. THEN I know they'll be great because I bought them big enough to allow for shrinkage and some alteration.
3. This model was sized by people who do not understand plus women's sizes. This is a big minus.
SMARTPAK rules btw. No problems with exchanging or returning. I ordered one day, I had my order the next. LOVELY VENDOR!!

Followed measurement instructions and ordered 32 in autumn red. Fit in calfs and thigh great but very snug at waist. Exchanged for 34. This larger size was too tight on calfs and thighs, but fit at waist. That seemed inconsistent to me. Too uncomfortable to ride in, especially with a price tag of $100 plus.

These are very well made breeches and the sizing for my waist was fine. However, they were too long in the leg for me so were bunchy below my knee. Would have had to shorten them a lot so decided to return them. Otherwise a very good looking pair of breeches. Too bad.

These are the first full seats I have purchased and I love them! I have tried other on and did not enjoy the way they felt but these are not like that at all. I have a much better grip in my saddle and will defiantly be buying another pair in the near future.

I ordered the brown herringbone with brown seat, and it is a very flattering color and fit for me. I actually showed in them at a small local show that had said that jackets would be optional. They're a very rich brown that looked very sharp with my yellow ratcatcher. Be aware that the herringbone are brown/black, not brown/beige as they appear to be in the photos. I expected them to be lighter than they are in real life, but i love them anyway. They fit well and I got compliments everywhere around the showgrounds.

I really like these breeches, I actually had to go down a size in this style as the material is nice and stretchy, breeches are roomy. I like the fact that they are cut for real gals who ride and I don't feel like a sausage, as much as I love my Ariat breeches, these are much more comfortable and one less thing to think about in the saddle. Pockets are deep and functional, the length is great and I'm tall, the small check patttern is attractive, I ordered the brown with brown full seat and also the brown with the black full seat, subdued and not loud patterns. Love them, thank you SmartPak.

I purchased 3 pairs of these britches and have been very confused with the difference in quality and fit. One pair the zipper wont stay up, one pair the "full seat" is already fraying and the other is so baggy, I keep getting rubs. I ride 5 horses a day and basically live in these britches and felt like the price was reflecting an above average fabric and longevity.
I do like the colors but each pair are completely different fabrics. Very confused :-(

Although I received numerous complements from my fashionista students, as a working breech these cuties unfortunately fall short in the saddle and on the farm. I am a fan of fuller fillies through and through but from the beginning I found the too-sticky seat made it impossible to move with my horse. The fabric was too stiff and restricting. I did not enjoy riding in these breeches and only wore them 5-6 times, perhaps I got a bad zipper but it never stayed up, especially when mounted, and the last time I wore them the zipper split. I expected way more from these expensive breeches.

These breeches are wonderful. They fit great, there is no gap at the waist band, they move and stretch. I wore them all day at a horse show in the rain. They weren't cold or hot, I received several comments about how nice they looked.
