So the 34" breeches arrived today and like the boots I ordered, they're also too large so I've returned them for a pair of 32" breeches of the same size. Now that I know just how stretchy they are, I think they should fit fine. I did try them on though so I thought I'd share my initial thoughts.
+ They feel very tough so should last a long time.
+ They're very warm and supposedly waterproof so I can see these making winter hacks in the rain riding very comfortable.
+ They look quite smart while retaining their practical features so you won't look like you're riding in a wetsuit (even though it may feel a little like you are).
+ Space where you need it.
+ They make your backside look great!
+ The lining on the inside is very comfortable on your skin.
+ They seem to be made in the knowledge that the average man's thighs are bigger than the average woman's.
+/- They look like they're a slightly tighter fit than the Mark Todds.
- They smell like a wetsuit when they come out of the bag so you'll need to let them air out before you wear them.
- They have a very slight sheen due to the outer layer being 95% nylon/5% lycra. Although mine are black and I can't see this being noticeable in white or buff.
Overall I think they're very good--especially for the price I paid--and I'd definitely recommend them to any guys looking for a pair of winter breeches. I'll let you know what the 32"s are like when they arrive.
The blacks are out of production now so I was able to grab a pair here for £30 instead of £130!
