See title. Has anyone bought either yet? What do you think?

I am being so good about not buying more breeches, but am tempted. How do they fit if you've tried them? (for reference, my favorite breeches are Pikeur Lugana's).

Thanks to you lack of enabling, I have bought neither.

LOL!

I can't speak for the brand, but i've found tights never really hold up well

Glad to help

I don’t know the brand, but I far prefer tights that fit like leggings. Breeches never seem to lay flat on my stomach, and no matter what rise I buy, the waist band hits around my ribs.

Thanks for the help. I have tights that are over 10 years old (Kerrits and Ovation), so I do find that they hold up! That said, I probably wear breeches 2 or 3 times as often as tights. Yet, it is the humid mid-south where I live. Tights are good in the heat!

I am very long waisted. Tights are an opportunity for me to wear something that covers my belly button instead of areas much lower (breeches). My barn is not prissy, but as a 50 odd year old surrounded by lots of 20 yr olds into equestrian style, I try to keep it neat most days. Sometimes I just want to wear tights and a t-shirt and hack or gallop in the fields! I've learned that full seat tights are helpful on silly mare days.

I'm not long-waisted, but I like my breeches high-waisted. If my pants are up under my ribs when I'm riding, I'm a pretty happy camper, even if i'm not a fashionable one.

I will say all the breeches I buy now are full seats. Though majority of the time I ride in walmart jeggings. Yes, don't fall off your chair. But I found that $12 walmart jeggings work as well for me as pretty much any tight I've ever worn (and come in pretty much every color of the rainbow). So I either go real cheap with those or go ahead and buy the full-seat breeches.

Well, I will report back if I succumb. I'm going on a girlfriend trip this weekend (spas, workouts, restaurants and day-clothes shopping), so we'll see if I'm still up for opening the wallet afterwards lol.

p.s. My horsey connection would be that this is a dear non-horsey friend who has done Reiki on my horse---and my horse loved it!
