The maroon performance breeches right out of the package are such a soft material and I noticed the perfect amount of stretch immediately. I’m a ride or die riding tights girl for comfortability but these breeches are just as comfy as any tights I’ve worn. The high waisted design fits me perfectly and keeps everything tucked in comfortably. They have the deepest pockets of any riding pant I’ve ever seen for all your carrying needs and super sturdy zippers to keep everything secure. My favorite feature has to be the knitted fiber socks at the bottom which are super thick and comfortable and make it so the breeches don’t ride up the leg while riding and are incredibly comfortable under boots! All in all I’m very impressed with the thoughtfulness and innovation that went into designing these breeches and even more appreciative of the comfortability they offer in the saddle.
