Evening everyone!
I'm in need of some new breeches and have heard a lot of good things about Equetech so think I'm going to give them a go!
For those of you who have tried them, which are your favourites? I'm torn between the full-seat, grip-seat and the supa-flex ones - so any input would be great!
I was also just wondering what the sizing is like, are they true to size? x
 
I have the grip seat ones and I love them, I usually hate breeches / jods! I would say sizes are possibly slightly on the generous side, I got 26 which fit perfectly, in jeans an 8 is a bit tight and a ten is slightly too big. I found them really comfortable.

I'll probably get some more when I'm riding more as haven't had anything rideable but once I have found something I like i tend to stick with it.
 
I bought a pair of white grip seat in a 12, much too big for me - and I think at the time I was a true 12, so generous I'd say! I now have to sell them and have had no interest, so maybe not as good as I thought they were??
 
I've had a couple of pairs of the unity check ones with a full seat and managed to kill them in about 3 months :o Sizing is on the generous side, they are comfy and flattering, but they don't wash well and just simply fall apart... I do ride several horses a day and all that, but I have had a few pair of Cavallo for nearly 10 years, so I can't be that bad :D
For a bit more ''on the budget'' than Cavallo, I find Horseware denim and HY Performance ones to wear and wash well.
 
I love Equetech and normally buy the full seat. I'm a standard 28 and would say that Equetech are usually fairly true to size but possibly slightly verging on generous.
 
I have the winter soft shell and they are very nice I would say true to sizing. Just ordered the Amy Stovald (sp?) ones so I will let you know. Softshell ones I chuck in the drier etc and they come up looking new!
 
Hi, I now only use the Equetech breeches (the "sticky bum" ones). Mine are size 28 and as others have said, the sizing is generous.
I am quite hard on my clothes, but I've found the Equetech to be quite tough. However I never put them in the drier. I soak them overnight in a tub with a bit of dishwashing liquid, next day I put them in the washing machine on the "handwash" cycle. I've had the current set for about two years and they still look great.
(I don't iron them either, I never iron ANYTHING. If it can't iron itself out while hanging in a dry or sunny spot, it has no place in my life!)
 
I bought a pair odd full seat ones the other day & I love them!
Great fit, well made & really nice materials.
Would delicately recommend!
