So I’ve been showing for 11 years at USEF-rated shows and have never had a pant-related problem. I was talking to a friend who has more show experience than me, and she made a comment wondering about the legality of full-seat pants. I competed in full-seat pants in my past two shows at one of the premier venues in my area and had no problem. The same question goes to the legality of silicon-patched (FS or KP) pants. At my work (tack store), there are show pants both FS and KP silicon and traditional KP only. I heard that IEA rules may have changed to no silicon-permitted (could have just been trainer-specific), and I wanted to check that USEF permitted them. I compete in the Hunters and Eq and am planning to chase state and zone points this season, so I was wondering if anyone knew if this is continuing to be allowed, or if I’ve just gotten lucky.
Judge here…we are not looking at your pants. The end

If you are a USEF member, it is very, very easy to check the USEF rules for yourself online so you don’t have to take anyone else’s word for it.

Thank you <3
I looked at them before posting but since there was no specific note to them, I just wanted to check popular opinion! Thank you for linking them anyway!
