Fine. I got influenced

I got the Lux full seats, and I like them.

I also got influenced and preordered the Syncs. The white full seat silicon seat that has the black lining and is supposed to be unstainable. These are the ones where they pour soda on the breeches and they stay clean.

I did not pour soda or coffee on mine, however they did not seem to stay any cleaner than any other white pants. I am a dirt magnet, but was less then impressed. They did just come out of the washer (spray and wash on the dirt stains, washed cold and hang dry) and they did clean up pretty well post wash.

How are these as far as showing lumps and bumps? I was going to show with a shirt tucked into my Horze white breeches yesterday, and they were just yuck showing the wrinkles from the pockets, the line from my shirt hem, and everything else. It wasn’t a problem when I wore a jacket, but I need something better when coats are waived.

Ok, not breeches, but I think I just found my hot weather coat. It’s the Ariat Artico. It weighs no more than a show shirt but the fabric has a bit less oversharing stretch to it than a standard mesh coat even though very thin and light. With a sleeveless or short sleeved shirt under it, it does a decent job of hiding the middle aged lumps without overheating. Would it look better if I was 10lbs lighter? Sure it would, but its not embarassing.

Curious to hear from those who have bought the white (with black lining) Sync breeches. I was so excited to get them and then they showed up and are decidedly NOT WHITE. They look like light grey breeches because of the black lining. Super disappointed, and sticking to my Free Ride, Maya Delorez, and old school (TS, Ariat, etc.) whites for now.

Dang, that is good to know!

I got some Halter Ego breeches that I like, so I’m looking at their high-waisted white breeches with navy seat, but would be nice to find something less expensive.

I ended up buying the Halter Ego show breeches with a navy seat. Haven’t shown in them yet, but I think they’ll be good.

I just got sucked in by a FB ad though, and bought a pair of the Sand Free Ride breeches that were on sale for $60. I’m hoping they’ll coordinate with a navy pad I have that has very pale gray binding.

[fanfayre]

ooh, that pad sounds lovely!

[outerbanks77]

One of my favorites! It’s a PS Sweden with the Floret fabric and has a row of rhinestons to make it a little extra.

WOW, gorgeous!
Okay, I may have to buy that for my guy as a “congratulations on recovering from your avulsion fracture so we can actually go back to riding” gift IF he actually does recover. Only on month 8 of our own plan since the prescribed method sooooo didn’t work for him.

Alternatively, I may have to buy it as a consolation that he didn’t come back to riding…

I want to see your tack room…

My row of saddlepads is rather embarrassing! But I console myself thinking about how long each one will last.

Just popping back in to follow up on the FreeRides. The color and fabric were nice, but I ordered my usual size, and they were too tight in the waist/crotch. I would have exchanged for a size up, but they were sold out. The CS was helpful, and return was easy, however.

I am getting tempted to try the Sync Equestrian breeches. They have a light blue that looks like it would match one of my saddle pads and I think everything is 15% off right now
