#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I love my full seat breeches as well. At first I did not like them so much, I found them uncomfortable as well, but the more I rode in them the more I liked them. I find they help me sit better.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Well I rode in Full Seats for a few years, Aristas.  But I got sick of them.  They were H*ll to put on, stiff and tight and I use to get sores on my butt from them.  I loved the way I stuck in the saddle though.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I have not gone back to Carino (sp?) seats and much prefer them right now.  But my biggest problem with the full-seat is getting them to fit me.  I have not shaped like breeches companies think all riders are shaped.  When will the companies realize there are people out here that aren't 5'7" tall and skinny with LONG legs. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#never worn them. in fact...it's been a helluva long time since i wore breeches at all............i prefer jeans & chaps, but i think if i'm going to be doing some "serious riding i'll look into a couple prs of breeches.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

The ones that fit in the waist are too short, and always fit like they are painted on. The ones that fit everywhere else I have to wear a belt with. Not that I don't mind the belt, just that when you're in a rush to get to the barn, a belt is ONE MORE thing you have to fiddle with!#ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT face=Tahoma color=#c080ff size=4#ed_cl##ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT face=Tahoma color=#c080ff size=4#ed_cl#As for full seats vs knee patch. Although I own many pairs of knee patch breeches, I just LOVE my full seat to death (own 3 pairs I think). I seem to go through this phrase where I fall in love with one pair of breeches and don't want to wear anything but those for weeks. Of coarse there comes a time each week, where they really do need to be washed......damn clothes for getting dirty!#ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT face=Tahoma color=#c080ff size=4#ed_cl##ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT face=Tahoma color=#c080ff size=4#ed_cl#Right now I'm on a kick with my black full seats. They are very worm, and have a hole in the knee, but I love them! They are always WAY to big for me, as I got them 2nd hand, and the lady lied to me about the size of them, but I still manage to make'em fit! hehehehe  #ed_op#IMG src="http://forums.equestrianconnection.com/richedit/smileys/Happy/7.gif"#ed_cl##ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I have a pair or full seat breeches... But since I got my bright red pikeur breeches I have not worn anything else. They ae the most comfy breeches ever, and not just for riding. They are more like a nice pant material with some stretch but they arnt skin tight like other breeches so you have some breathing room in the legs with them. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I have putting full seat breeches on. The next pair of white show pants that I get I might get full seat breeches though, because like everyone says they are comfy lol. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
When something goes wrong in a show, it's actually the best time because you learn from it. You ask yourself 'what can I do better?' When everything goes OK, you don't ask yourself that question --- ANKY
