As title??

Do such things exist and if so what would you recommend - being told by my sister that the sweat patches on my standard weight ones are most unattractive has made me evaluate my riding wardrobe!
 
I've got some Derby House breeches called "all weather" - I got them in a BOGOF offer when the intended free ones went out of stock and I complained!:p:p. I was a bit sceptical as they are thin and feel very synthetic but they are amazingly cool in this hot weather and have a full seat. Just wait for an offer as they are £69.95!!:eek::eek:
 
yes, i literally just found some, Kerrits. They're a U.S. make, available either from Three Lows Equestrian (but they only have the lightweight Sit Tight Light ones in white) or on ebay, so far (but they are v reasonable, even with the postage being a tad steep... i paid £37 for the breeches and £17 for p&p, so, still ends up cheap imho.)
i've had cotton full-seat cavallos but tbh for their price they don't last long, my last pair cost me £140 and they've gone through on the knees after a few summers, which I think is expensive (the winter weight ones last me about 10-12 seasons!)
my LW Kerrits arrived today, they're lovely thin material, v stretchy but firm enough to prevent bulges (yes, got to lose another 7 lbs). the only thing is that the sizing is on the v snug size, i'm a 12 and the Mediums are v v snug...
hope that helps anyway.
 
I'm glad you like the Kerrits Kerilli, still planning on getting some at Lexington. Interesting that they come up snug, will have a good try on then!
How high waisted are they?
 
slightly below the waist i guess dora, but because they're stretchy fabric with no zip i guess if you put a belt on you could have them at whatever 'waist' you wanted... ;) ;)
i've been having a further hunt about and it looks as though if you want the full choice of colours, the kerrits website is the best place... their "tan" is what i would call 'cream', v nice colour, perfect for competing in imho... can't stand white breeches tho but that's because i'm not a size 8 any more! ;) ;)
btw the narrow full seat panel is really really flattering, i'm amazed by the bum-shrinkingness of them!
