I’ve gotten super picky over the years about my breeches and am down to only really having a couple pairs I wear anymore. I really love my Ariat Tri-Factors, and I like the Free Ride PRO’s but beyond that I haven’t found many breeches I really like that are stretchy and somewhat thin enough that summer weather is tolerable with them on (I used to be a big fan of Tailoreds and Pipers but the past few years I’ve hated wearing them). What does everyone ride in that is $200 or less, is comfy, has belt loops and doesn’t show every single bit of sweat? Thanks in advance!!!
Honestly I purchased a pair of 40.00 knock off breeches on Amazon and love them for summer. They aren’t the most flattering holding in the mom pouch but when it’s 90* and 70* humidity, who cares.
The fabric is thin and doesn’t cling like Free Rides or more expensive breeches. They get me through July/August and then I go back to my FreeRides, Kerrits, Botori breeches.

I have a couple pairs from Decathlon that are several years old. They are my go-to for hot summer weather as the fabric is thin and breathable and they also incorporate mesh panels along the sides for additional venting. They were very affordable.
Highly recommend taking a look at Divine Equestrian https://divineeq.co/ small but mighty brand out of Texas. The competition breech is my favourite but the leggings sound like exactly what you are looking for with a breezier fabric and lots of pretty colours lol. When I got my first pair I thought there must be a catch for the price but they are the most durable pants I’ve ever had 3+ years later and I can’t say enough good things about them
I like any of the Tredsteps. The Evolute are a higher rise but the Nero’s are nice too. Unfortunately not great color options (navy, grey, white, tan) but they are cheaper than the tri-factors.

Fournier Equestrian has size-inclusive and very comfortable breeches. They are stretchy and have side pockets and belt loops.

If you check the Final Sale page, there are some with the old branding (Annie Jay) that are an amazing price (and also in $CAD so even better with the exchange).
ETA - they posted a discount code SUMMER30 on their FB page yesterday too!
The Free Ride Pro and Romfh Sarafina are my two favorites.
