Full seat breeches - do they really help stickability?

[jenni999]

As per the title really - what do people think? I've always worn them as I have a spinning top underneath me when I hack out, but I'm wondering if it's a mental thing that I feel unsafe if I don't wear them. Are they actually more grippy or is it a myth?

I think they help a bit. I always wear them on the one that likes a buck, probably in my head it helps me stay on

I've also heard good things about the avacallo gel seat saver for stickability. Imagine those and a pair sticky jods, you'd never be able to get off

I have these and they are awesome! Have little bobbles on them!

I much prefer full seat breeches to normal ones, defo feel a bit more comfy and stuck in the saddle. i'm actually struggling to find some nice white ones for showing at the moment th t are full seat..
