I finally had to replace my old full seat breeches. So I decided to give the Kerrits Flex tights a try, well I love them. They are the perfect length for me as I have long legs and they fit very well. The grip on them is amazing I ride a OTTB at second level and I can sit the collected and medium trot with no problem. In these breeches. Nothing sticks to these breeches and they wash really well. The Kerrits flex tight breeches keep me very cool in the hot southern Oregon summers. They are the best full seat breeches I have ever worn.

These are not even breeches in my opinion. They are so thin an poorly made. They are not flattering at all.

I loved these tights. Fit well, looked so good one of my barn friends said "you could wear those out to dinner...." I did, got more compliments. Unfortunately after the first 50-minute schooling ride, the overlock stitching on the full-seat came apart. Thanks to Smart Pak's postage-paid returns, I think it's worth trying another pair. Hoping for better luck.

I bought these after friends told me they liked them. The 2nd time I wore them, they ripped. So I got them fixed, and then they ripped again in a different place. Lets just say they were a waste of money.

I ride dressage and I think these breeches are the awesomest. No crazy maintenance like deerskin and they have great ventilation for summer. They hold up great except the stitching snags on velcro, making it look fuzzy :(

I was very disappointed with these tights. after just putting them on for the first time and before even riding in them, a thread came out at the seams and continued all the way up the leg! Sure they will now come apart very soon. As I live in Bermuda, it is very costly to return them so I am stuck with them.

Love these tights. I've been wearing two pairs for over 2 years and they are looking a bit worn. Wanted to see the new improvements and glad I did. The new coolmax lining works SO well in our Texas heat. And love the articluation in the legs. favorite pair of 3 season (texas) tights!

These breeches are comfortable, flattering, and seem pretty good quality. I'm not convinced they'll hold up as well as more expensive breeches will, however for the price, they can't be beat! The chestnut color was VERY weird so those were returned, but the tan was neutral and nice.

As with all clothing, each fits a little different; however, I liked the first pair so much I bought two more. Just wish they came in more colors! They are great for hot weather, very light and comfortable. I have been very happy with them.

I absolutely hate wearing full seat breeches, but these tights are amazing! The contrast is LOVELY, and the breaks in the GripStretch panels allow the tights to conform to your body instead of creating that baggy, diaper feeling. They are very flattering, very comfortable, and very breathable! I was very comfortable in these even in the 100 degree heat. My only wish is that they would offer these in white with black contrast.

I love this brand of breeches - but I didn;t like the FS material. Very light and comfortably - but I did not think it was "grippy" enough. I ended up returning them and getting a pair of irideon fs instead which I love. I will say that I love the pocket on these breeches though - great for treats and cell phone (even fits a smartphone)

I thought the Kerrits ran a little small in size, because I had to buy a large and I don't think i've ever bought a large in ANYthing! I'm 5'8" 135lbs. I'm considered a skinny girl, but I have a larger-than-average butt and thighs, so I had to buy the large to stretch over that part. Fortunately since the fabric is so strechy, it still fit me in the waist. I was looking for some full seat style breeches that would be comfortable to wear in the humid hot summer of SC. The fabric is nice and thin and breatheable, so it is very comfortable. The grippy parts work really well and are flexible. They stick to the saddle so well that I almost got stuck when I swung my leg over the back of the saddle to dismount! I highly recommend these to anyone looking for a comfortable, casual, lightweight pair of breeches that still perform really well.

Love these Kerrits more than the other full seat version. The stretchable panel that breaks up the full seat along the thigh makes a world of difference. The pocket is also a perfect place to keep a cell phone when riding alone!

I found these 1/2 off in the clearance room at the Smart Pak Store and for the price thought I'd give them a try. I prefer to ride in full seats but they are just too hot in the summer and I really love the pocket for my phone since I hack out alone.
I have worn them 3-4 times/ week for the past 2 months. They are comfortable, breathable, and sticky enough for any "silly TB" moments that occur on the trail! I will definitely be getting another pair.
The only negative I have found is in my dressage saddle my inner thigh sometimes gets pinched by my stirrup leather. It never happens in my jump saddle, I think it's just where the stirrup leather hits on my leg.

I have ridden in these tights for Endurance races 50 plus miles in a day. They held up great and were very comfortable. I didn't get to hot and no bidding.

These are my first pair of full seat breeches. I bought them because they are affordable, but they are also comfortable and nice and grippy in the saddle.
I love that they have a pocket on the right hip. I ride by myself a lot and really like having the cell phone on my person. I prefer a pocket to the cell phone holders that you strap around your leg. I don't know why more breeches don't come with one. One thing I will say, my iPhone won't fit in the pocket with the Apple brand bumper that I bought for it. But it is no big deal to take the bumper off from around the edge of the phone when I use the breeches. It fits fine then.

Some of the reviews I'd read weren't too favorable, so since Smartpak provides free returns, thought I'd give these a try. I love them! Will buy more. I also have the Fits breeches, which are probably better constructed, but these are a great bargain - especially if you ride every day.

When I first tried these on I was not too sure about the fit. The rise at the back seems a little low - slides down if you bend over or crouch down. Felt like I was pulling them up all the time. However, they are very comfortable to ride in. I hate full seat breeches but these seem to work well. My cat already managed to pull a thread jumping up on me so not sure how long they will last.
In the big picture I love them...for riding...maybe not so much for grooming, picking hooves or anything that might risk unintential rear end exposure!!
