Sizing Comparisons
Karrie: I wear a 24 in the LG breeches, but wear a 26 in Smartpak Breeches
Mallory: I think they run large and I could almost wear a size down but they are very comfy!
HKM - Run true to size
Lauria Garrelli - Runs about .5-1 size larger than most brands.
Most are cut with a higher waist in the back than the front for extra coverage.
The front tends to fit like a medium-waist.
Brand Comparisons
ROMFH, Cavallos, and HKM are most similar.
They are slightly generous in sizing, good for those with thicker legs and a short torso.
Italian brands are always way too small (Equiline etc).
Breeches - Fabric
This section is still in progress
Below are the personal opinions and thoughts about the various HKM fabrics used for breeches.
1 - Strong dislike
5 - Don't hate, don't love
10 - Absolutely LOVE it
| Rating | Material | Review | Examples |
| 10 | 81% Nylon, 19% Elastan |
Very stretchy/elastic for all day comfort while riding (including jumping), grooming, and teaching. They do not tighten around the knees. The thinner material doesn't hold in body heat which is perfect for summer riding. These are the softest to touch breeches that I have ever seen. |
#11998 |
| 9.75 | 100% Polyester & 90% Polyester, 10% Elastane Winter (Softshell) |
Stretchy/elastic for all day comfort while riding (including jumping), grooming, and teaching. They do not tighten around the knees. These have a little less stretch than breeches made out of 81% nylon but it is hardly noticeable. These are very soft to touch breeches but dirt is still easy to wipe off. |
#12070 #10101 #11246 |
| 9.5 | 96% Polyester, 4% Elastane |
Very stretchy/elastic for all day comfort while riding (including jumping), grooming, and teaching. They do not tighten around the knees. The thinner material doesn't hold in body heat which is perfect for summer riding. These have a durable yet soft feel that allows for dirt to easily wipe off. |
#11826 |
| 9.5 | 93% Polyester, 7% Elastane & 92% Polyester, 8% Elastane |
Very stretchy/elastic for all day comfort while riding (including jumping), grooming, and teaching. They do not tighten around the knees. The thinner material doesn't hold in body heat which is perfect for summer riding. These have a durable yet soft feel that allows for dirt to easily wipe off. These are have a little bit of a rougher feel than the 96% Polyester breeches, but its only noticeable when comparing the two side by side. These have a similar feel as the 90% Nylon & 79% Nylon. |
#11939 #11368 |
| 9.25 | 90% Nylon, 10% Elastane |
Stretchy/elastic for all comfort while riding, grooming, & teaching. The thinner material doesn't hold in body heat which is perfect for summer riding. These have a durable feel that allows for dirt to easily wipe off & doesn't stick to the fabric. These are a bit thinner than the 79% Nylon, but has a similar feel as the 93% Polyester & 79% Nylon. |
#12065 #9298 |
| 9.0 | 79% Polyamide, 16% Polyester, 5% Elastane |
Stretchy/elastic for all comfort while riding, grooming, & teaching. Thin to medium thickness that reduces the chance of holes forming, but still comfortable enough to wear during the summer. These have a durable feel that allows for dirt to easily wipe off & doesn't stick to the fabric. |
#7684 |
| 8.0 | 95% Cotton, 5% Elastane |
These are typically your denim breeches. Stretchy/elastic around the seat, thighs, & knees in the horizontal position, but not as much stretch vertically. Medium thickness, as expected with denim, that might be best for spring & fall riding. Could be ridden during the summer time, but could potentially hold in heat & sweat if worn all day in the humidity. |
#1817 |
| 7.75 | 57% Cotton, 36% Nylon, 7% Elastane |
Stretchy/elastic around the seat, thighs, & knees in the horizontal position, with a little bit of stretch vertically. Thin to medium thickness; not as thick as denim but not as thin & breathable as other materials. These have a durable feel that allows for dirt to easily wipe off & doesn't stick to the fabric. |
#8225 |
| 5.0 | 95% Cotton, 5% Elastan |
Stretchy/elastic for all comfort while riding, grooming, & teaching. Medium thickness, the cotton fabric most likely won't allow for moisture wicking. Might be best for spring & fall riding. Could be ridden during the summer time, but could potentially hold in heat & sweat if worn all day in the humidity. A soft, cotton feel. |
