"I first rode in the FITS competition breeches at The Sydney CDI***, they felt amazing no pulling or pinching anyway just so comfortable, These breeches are lightweight and breathable yet still give the rider great support through a secure contact with the saddle. The FITS shirts fit so well under my tails. I love the material as it keeps you cool and comfortable. The whole ensemble looked so elegant and I love the champagne colour."

"Dear FITS,

I am writing for two reasons... first to let you know where to send my commission check (ha!!!) and second to tell you that these are all I wear now.

I first bought Performax full seat at the beginning of the '08 show season... I was hooked and immediately bought two more pairs and then donated my old breeches to charity. I am not kidding when I say FITS Performax are all I wear. At the first show I wore them in, a vendor was there with them in his tent. I had two girls ask me about my breeches that I was wearing, The Perfomax, and I showed them EVERYTHING about them, from the waistline to the powernet calf... they were sold and went in to the vendors tent and purchased them! Everywhere I go I get people asking, "do you like them?" and I go on and on about them! People tell me I should be a sales rep!!!

Anyway, I just received my 6th pair in the mail today and wanted to write and say thank you and please don't ever stop making them!"

"Just wanted to let you know how much I'm loving my new FITS all-season breeches, which your company generously awarded as prizes at the 2007 American Eventing Championships. When riding is your 9-to-5 job, comfort is everything--and FITS are definitely the flannel pajamas of the breeches world. I'll be ordering a second (and possibly third and fourth) pair in the near future."

Leslie W. from Tennessee

"I was introduced to FITS full seat breeches about two years ago and really enjoyed wearing them from the start. FITS were the first full seat breeches that didn't give me any rubs or chafing. They have great grip on the saddle; plus they are more comfortable and let me move more freely than any other full seat breech I have ever worn."

Kimberly Severson, Olympian

"FITS All Season Original Full Seats fit so perfectly, I love that it's "zipper free" and it couldn't be made any better then it already is. It doesn't bunch or bind in any way, there is no pulling when you bend down, they are pure perfection. I'm serious. FITS are the best riding breeches ever made!"

Lucy H. from the Internet

"I rode in my new FITS breeches for the first time today. The comfort can be described with one word: Nirvana! These are THE most comfortable breeches I have ever worn—and I have tried nearly all of them. Thank you for a fantastic product! Can't wait for the front zip version to appear in our area!"

Robin B. Arizona
April 2008

"The product is extraordinary! I'm delighted with the full-seat breeches and have never felt any others to be so comfortable or flattering. Before I ordered online, I phoned and spoke to a representative who was very helpful...and who was also a rider. Excellent service and product! The delivery came within 5 business days."

"I just bought my second pair of FITS full seat breeches, from HorsegirlTV. I want to wear these breeches everywhere they are so comfortable!"

Taryn W. from the Internet
February 2008

"I am never wearing any other breeches again! I was thrilled to find a pair of breeches with a tummy panel. I am 50 and fit but have a mommy tummy which I really, really, really hate, and I have always wondered why somebody didn't make breeches that were a little more flattering. Not only do I love the way these look, I love the way the full seat is broken up, so that it’s not so restrictive."

Lindsey C. in Canada
February 2008

"FANTASTIC! most comfortable breeches I have ever worn, love them. Just make them in a banana 'color' so I can have a set to show down here in Oz in and I would be very happy."

Sandra M. in Australia

"Breeches fit beautifully. Don't know they are full seat breeches, comfortable, no binding, not riding the pants, I can sit deep in the saddle."

"Another five-star quality product from F.I.T.S. These winter breeches are wonderful! It has been between 25 and 30 degrees over the past couple of weeks and I am toasty warm in my F.I.T.S. PerforMAX winter breeches. One cold day I was teaching one lesson and then riding two different horses, and I was still toasty warm and comfortable. The PerforMAX breeches are just the right weight, never overheating you yet perfectly toasty warm; plus they have the exceptional quality of workmanship and design of the other F.I.T.S. breeches, which to me are the new standard of excellence when it comes to riding breeches. Great product!! I'm just wanting F.I.T.S. to come out with a jacket of the same material as the PerforMAX breeches."

Carol G. in Vancouver BC
December 2007

"I LOVE FITS breeches, they are as good as the reviews say. I find them very comfortable, and in this October heat wave on the East Coast, I find they are breathing great in the humidity and really helping me stick in my seat! Thanks for such a great product."

Sheila P. in New York
October 2007

"These breeches are great!!! Even after washing they look like brand new. I bought one pair of FITS breeches and totally fell in love with them. I now own 7 pairs. I am now starting to sell all my other breeches because FITS are my preferred riding outfit."

Regina S. in Illinois
October 2007

"I LOVE my FITS full seats more than any other full seat I've had. I used to get really irritated while tacking up and riding in stiff, bunchy breeches, which did not help my performance. Now with my FITS, I can quit thinking about how uncomfortable I am and think about my ride. My dad can't get me to change out of them when I come into the house from riding.. He says to change into something comfortable--but I tell him that I am comfortable!"

Erin McPherson in Washington state

“I love the comfort, support and breathability of your breeches. They make me feel very flexible. I got them in green but will in the future get a color I can compete in. They are great! Comfortable, breathable and easy to wash.”

Tara Ziegler, Rolex Four Star Competitor
June 2007

“I just have to put on paper how much I love, and appreciate, your breeches! I work in the industry and consider myself an expert on the comfort, style, durability and usability (all day in the saddle and in the barn) of breeches and I have probably tried 90% of all the breeches made and that is quite an impressive array of breeches! I have been enthusiastically recommending FITS to all my friends and fellow competitors. There are few breeches that are this comfortable to wear yet tacky enough in the saddle, I am seriously impressed. They do not ride up or down, they have a comfortable close fit, and most importantly a breathable and movable full seat, no longer do we have to sacrifice security for comfort or vice versa! And they are quite flattering!"

Corrine Ashton, Four Star Eventer in Massachusetts, USA

"Better late than never! I did want to send you this about the breeches. Understand that I hate breeches, especially full seats and extra especially pull on full seats for the main reason that they are so uncomfortable & unyielding to ride in. So I decided to try a pair of F.I.T.S. all season full seat but didn't expect miracles. Amazing! Great fit without the stuffed sausage look and I can actually move. The perforated deerskin and especially having the leather segmented is sheer genius. First time I can get comfortable in the saddle and forget about the breeches, they just work. Must say I am impressed. Oh, and the shirt is incredible too and to think I really was not going to try it, these little shirts are never comfortable and always too clingy. Not yours, absolutely moves with you and looks good enough to wear anywhere. And added plus that I didn't sweat to death on a hot day. So I have to admit that though I didn't expect to be, I am positively impressed. Great breeches & shirt, pricey but worth it."

Nancy M. from the Internet
May 2007

“The F.I.T.S. breeches are absolutely the best breeches I've ever worn. In the past I've always worn Pikeur or Eurostar and recently the Isabell Werth breeches, and a few other various sundry brands, all top quality but once I rode in the F.I.T.S. breeches, I'm spoiled for any other brand of breeches. They are amazing. I've won many championships both in Canada and the U.S., and on three different horses I've been fortunate enough to win annual awards such as "eight times highest percentage achieved by any horse at that level for the entire year for the entire province", "three times won annual award for highest percentage achieved by any horse at any level at all shows in the entire province", ranked first place in all of North America by the American Trakehner Association for level shown", and so on for several other awards. I only mention this so you know I'm not a novice when it comes to breeches. The F.I.T.S. breeches design is amazing in every detail giving a whole new feel.”

Carol G. in BC Canada
May 2007

“My favorite feature in my FITS breeches is that there is no leather that bunches up at the crotch. They are the most comfortable full seat breeches I have for that reason. I also really like how flattering they are. The way the seams are placed gives my body a nice elongated in the saddle and just walking around the barn.”

Anna Collier McGreevy, 2004 USA Short List, Eventing, Rolex Four Star Competitor
April 2007

"I really like how the crotch seam in my FITS is stitched in a way that the rider cannot feel it. I appreciate the high quality materials too which seem more like European breeches, only smoother against my skin. But the crotch in European breeches tends to bunch up due to layers of overlapping material, so over the years I have stopped using them. That is why FITS are ideal for me because I ride 8-12 horses per day and I need for my pants to wear like iron without rubbing!
I also like how FITS fabric is substantial but very stretchy and smooth, which eliminates the chafing and pressure that I normally get around my knee area.The deerskin patches are perfect because they grip but also stretch and never get in my way. And I think they look super as well."

Erin S in Virginia
April 2007

“I absolutely love my FITS breeches! They're good and stretchy and the material is good for British winters in the cold and also in the summer when it's hot. I wear them at least twice a week and they're wearing very well.”

Lesley in London England UK
April 2007

“The FITS Full Seat Breech is a wonderful riding pant that I would recommend to every rider regardless of their equestrian discipline.  As an endurance rider, I spend at least 4 hours in the saddle every day training, and up to 16 hours a day when racing a 100 miles.  These pants are extremely comfortable on and off the horse.  They wick moisture in hot weather and keep you warm in colder weather.  I particularly like the deer skin panels and the way they provide just a little extra grip on the saddle.  The sculpting technology does not make the pant seem tight or binding, but rather seems to provide just the right amount of support to help fend off leg and muscle fatigue.  I have been riding almost daily in these pants for the past 3 months and they still look and feel brand new.  I suspect that they will easily outlast every other riding pant I have.  That alone makes the cost worthwhile comparable to other riding breeches.”

Carol Giles, 2004 WEG Endurance Team
April 2007

"I just LOVE my FITS breeches. I love how comfortable they are and how much better I can sit in the saddle with them. My instructor warned me I could get dependent on them… I guess she was right. I now have four pair."

Susie C. in South Carolina

"Your breeches are the best feeling/fitting and most flattering breeches I've ever worn! Thank you so much for them! Please make your breeches in every color possible so I can buy them all!”

"My FITS breeches are wonderful! It has been wet and windy weather, but I have been warm and dry in my FITS Wind Pro. I ride and clean stalls all morning, teach all afternoon. I always get sweaty when I ride, but instead of getting chilled like I usually do, I was comfortable. That's certainly a change! The breeches are very comfortable and I do appreciate the stickiness at sitting trot! I have a young chestnut TB mare that is bent on unloading me, but I felt pretty secure in the full seat. Everyone has said that they look very smart too."

Sara Mittleider in Idaho, USEA Young Rider. Rolex Kentucky Four Star Competitor
February 2007

"As someone who rides five or six days a week, and edits a magazine about the equestrian retail business, I test ride a lot of breeches. When I wore my FITS for the first time, I couldn't believe how comfortable they were. I was able to lift my leg high enough to mount my warm blood from the ground, and once I was riding, I was able to readjust my leg and seat easily thanks to the articulated panels. I loved riding in them, and actually ended up wearing them for the rest of the day. As an added bonus, they flattered my middle-aged figure."

Emily E. in New Mexico
February 2007

"These are THE MOST COMFORTABLE breeches I've ever worn! I have dozens of European breeches and love them as well. However, there are days I just want to be very comfortable in and out of the saddle and FITS provides that. They are also the only breech I wear for showing as they look beautiful on and don’t have any of the bulk that traditional show breeches have. They are also great for those days when water weight is an issue and I have to wear those tight tall boots :)! They wash beautifully and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the deerskin!"

Karen P. in Washington State

"I do want to let you know I LOVE MY RIDING PANTS I feel super secure during my lessons especially when my horse is CRANKY."

Kelly B. in New Jersey
January 2007

“I really like my FITS breeches. I wear them with long johns under them to keep me warm in the winter and they are still thin enough to fit easily into my boot. I prefer them over any other pant during this cold weather. The full seat is really comfortable and very sticky. I typically am a little braver when the horses are a bit high if I have them on. Overall they seem like a great riding pant.”

Brooke Voldbaek in Oregon, USDF Bronze, Silver, Gold Medallist
December 2006

“I had been watching your  advertisement in Dressage Today or USDF Connections for a while and been telling myself I was going to get a pair and try them out. I finally bought a pair that was going to be for my daughter for Christmas from a tack store nearby. The tack store owner had a pair of her own and was telling me how wonderful they were. I tried them on and decided to keep them for myself! So I ended up getting FITS breeches for both me and my daughter! Word of mouth is also a great seller for a wonderful product. They won't be the last pair I buy!"

Gretchen E. in South Carolina 
December 2006

“I am even more excited my FITS  winter breeches than I was the summer - if that is possible.  I wore them all day at the barn, came home, raked leaves, then walked the dog - all without changing out of my cozy winter breeches.  Normally the first thing I do when I get home is peel off my breeches so this is a serious compliment.”

Janet Aungier in Oregon, USDF Bronze, Silver Medallist, Trainer, Instructor
November 2006

“I love the fit of FITS! They are so aptly named. You just throw your leg over the saddle and you are securely and correctly positioned, ready to ride. Until you've ridden in them you cannot possibly know how great they are. I have always bought the best breeches I could find, regardless of price. And I think FITS are better than any other breech I have ever worn. They really do have a superior design for comfort and performance.”

D. Jackson in Montana
November 2006

“Finally a pair of breeches that fit and are comfortable! Thank you for all of your hard work and thoughtfulness you put into the design and fabric. The best part is no rubbing seams and freedom of movement. You have produced breeches that out perform any others. All the ladies in my barn have at least one pair. You have spoiled us for anything else.”

S. Boone in Oregon
November 2006

“I wore your britches and LOVE them.  I am not a big fan of full seats and have many of them but have never liked even the most expensive ones.  But leaving the leather off the crotch and that articulated fanny makes all the difference.  I am not kidding, I actually rode better because of your breeches yesterday.”

Irene F. in Maryland
November 2006

“I am very pleased with my riding breeches. The quality and workmanship is superior to any breeches I have purchased. They are also very comfortable.”

L. Robertson in Canada
October 2006

"I don't just ride in your breeches I spend my ENTIRE weekends in them--from the moment I wake up until I go to bed 15-16hours later. I'm in the car driving 1.5 hours just to get to the barn then from the tack shops to Tractor Supply, lunch, etc. I'm hauling bales, I'm washing horses, I'm slathering hoof dressings and  poultices, I'm climbing fences and gates, I'm bent over hooking up my trailer, in other words I'm bending, stretching, sitting for periods of time, and flat out abusing my breeches for 12-14 hours a day each weekend. And when I wash them (by hand in Woolite) they always dry looking brand--well, relatively--new. They're tough as nails."

Gretchen in New York

"What do I do with all the other breeches in my closet now that I ride with my FITS?  (That's how I feel) I don’t want to ride in anything else."

Julie K. in Oregon

“Dear FITS - WOW I received my first pair of FITS breeches today. They are so comfortable I didn't want to take them off. Thanks for a wonderful new product!” 

AJB in Texas

“Just wanted to drop you a line and let you know I received the FIT breeches and because I was off to a equestrian vacation with some girlfriends in the Tuscan valley of Italy, I took them with me to try.  Loved them!  By far the most comfortable and flattering pair of breeches I've had on, lots of compliments.”

Cyndi in Colorado
July  2006

“I love my knee patch FITS breeches!  They are by far the most comfortable I have worn and I love the fact that they don't pull apart at the crotch like ALL of the other breeches do!  How clever to create the seams in such a way that there's no natural stress point there.” 

Suzanne P. from the Internet
June 2006

“Hi!  I just wanted to give you some feedback on these breeches. I just ordered a pair through Equestrian Collections. I absolutely love them!  I'm a large framed person and finding good quality breeches that fit correctly are very difficult to come by. I randomly ordered 7 pairs of full seat breeches and these won hands down. I wore them to the barn to ride in for the first time yesterday. Everyone loved the technology, fit on me, design of the seat, just incredible workmanship. One of my friends said it was too bad that one of the leading manufacturer's of sportswear didn't get involved with designing riding apparel a long time ago. But I see by your website that you too felt the same way. I'm happy to see that you've got other colors to choose from. I'll be ordering more soon. Thanks again for the fantastic product!"

Debbie H. in Virginia

“I ordered a pair of these a few months ago and love them, hence the new order. (2 more pair ) Fit beautifully and do not rub in the crotch.”

Leslie in Maryland
May 2006

“I can ride a deep seat in these breeches like no other I have ever owned. The fact that the full seat is not connected through the crotch seems obvious now, but no one else seemed to be able to see it before you. The thinner fabric on the calves is great in our hot South Texas heat.  My riding friends laughed at me at first with all of my "patches", but at the last riding clinic a few were asking for your website!”

Kathryn in Texas
May 2006

“If equestrians are athletes, then we should have attire that is comfortable and appropriate for our sport. I have often wondered why someone hasn't developed a riding pant that is as comfortable as a second skin. Lightweight, moisture wicking, and with a great fit. Until F.I.T.S. PerforMAX™, there have been very few options for riders, and most do not allow for maximum movement and agility...”

Adrienne in New Jersey
May 2006

“The breeches are super-duper—I have been wearing them all day! No more tight crotch! and I was worried that every lump in my body would show through but they don't—isn't technology amazing.”

Margaret in New Jersey
May 2006

“I wore the white FITS breeches to my last show and LOVED them. They're very comfortable and I love the sticky-ness of the seat. They're also very nice looking - the fabric is nice and the lines are very clean. Quite a few people asked me about them and I passed on your business card. Everyone wanted to feel the material of the seat, which caused something of a scene...  :)  I will  definitely continue showing in them."

Courtney Budd in Florida
May 2006

“I was on the hunt for better fitting breeches and ordered 4 different kinds from Dover, including a pair of yours.  I loved the FITS product but it was only available in black.  I went to your website and found that you have them in white so I ordered more pairs (in both white and black).  I would appreciate if you could make some in a buff or canary color too.  Of course, the order I placed is on backorder... but! I look forward to receiving them ASAP as my first show is this weekend.  I am a Novice level event rider who is 50 years old and fits in a "shapely" size large.”

Susan Martin in Michigan
May 2006

“I purchased a pair of FITS during the USDF Symposium in the Fall from the store at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center.  I have to admit I just got around to taking the tags off of them and riding in them last weekend.  They really are great.  The best full seat breech I have ever used. I am tall and usually have problems with full seat breeches being long enough in the stride to allow me room to get deep in the saddle.  FITS fit me great with no restrictions.  Thus... I quickly located your web page on Sunday and ordered 2 more pairs, including a white pair for shows.”

Kathryn L. in Texas
March 2006 

“I love your FITS Performax breeches!  Between the luxurious comfort, leather and fit, plus the extreme "stick to the saddle" seat, your product gave me the confidence to ride my 5-year-old gelding in his first ever dressage show.  Your breeches helped me sit deep in the saddle and know I could keep my seat in spite of the unpredictability of riding a green horse. Thank you.”

Mandi C. in Oregon
February 2006

“I am extremely pleased with my new breeches.  The ordering process over the the internet was easy and the breeches came very quickly.  The fit is just perfect (xs) and they are very comfortable.  I like the way they spread in the crotch since the deerskin in not one continuous piece. My previous favorite breeches were ___ cotton french terry.  That fabric is very comfortable but doesn't wear very well.  I think the FITS will last much longer and they are much more stylish and the seams are more flattering.  I think they will be much more comfortable in summer weather."

Valerie C. in California
January 2006

“Just a note to say I wore my new FITS breeches last Sat in a lesson and they were wonderful!  Best fit I've ever had and they feel like silk.”

Hope  P. in Montana
January 2006

“I got to ride in my FITS breeches yesterday. Wow! They are SO comfy and I love the stick!! I am definitely a fan! I rode in a traditional pair of full seats yesterday too as a direct comparison & they weren't nearly as sticky. You've definitely created a superior product."

Lauren B. in Washington
January 2006

“I really like my FITS PerforMAX Breeches and am recommending them to my friends. They are so much better in the crotch area than other breeches because they don't have a seam that pulls up into that sensitive area.  I also really like the perforated leather."

Judy G. in Missouri
January 2006

“I really enjoy my FITS breeches.  I do not normally like a full seat breech because there is no stretch in the "seat" and it makes it hard to move around in.  With the way your seat is split, they stretch and move as if there were no full seat at all.  The leather has stayed soft and very pliable, and the color has stayed true - both the leather and the fiber.”

Colleen G. in Missouri
January 2006

"Just a note to tell you how much I enjoy your PerforMAX™ Full Seat breeches.  They felt like "home" the first time I put them on. I didn't want to take them off after my ride.  There was no schooching around to get comfortable, no saggy crotch, no adjusting and readjusting to position patches and seams. They felt great and rode great.  Thank you for a great product.  You can be sure all of my friends will be hearing about them.  I also gave a lady in our barn info on your breeches. She currently has ___ breeches as does my trainer. My original order was for 2 pair - one for me and one for my trainer. Needless to say my trainer loves yours much better than her ___ therefore my friend is interested in the PerforMAX™ after hearing our accolades.”

Barb G. in Pennsylvania
December 2005

“I love my new FITS breeches.  They are the first truly comfortable full-seat breech that gives me great grip with no uncomfortable seams and full range of motion.  I will live in them from hot summer days to cold snowy winter nights!”

Fran W. in Oregon
December 2005

“Husband came through this year and I got my FITS PerforMAX™  breeches! They fit great, they feel great, and they look great! And get this: today we went out on a trail ride and we wound up surrounded by sharp thorny briar bushes. My heart broke when I felt the thorns catching on my breeches especially since it was the first time I got to wear them but when I got back to the barn my husband and I searched and searched and didn't find a single snag, hole, rip, or any evidence of damage at all!  I actually have a nasty scratch on my hip where a thorn made it through the fabric but there's no outward damage at all. Crazy!  I'm singing the praises of these breeches to everyone within earshot. I love 'em!  Thanks again for all your help. Happy New Year.”

Gretchen I.P. in New York
December 2006

“Now that I have ridden in my FITS breeches for the past few days, I like them even more. Truly, the breech is very athletic looking and feeling; I will probably wear the earth colored breech on bike rides as well.  The breeches are great with tall boots... both jumping and dressage. Thanks again ...I really think that you are on to something here, especially targeting the athlete.”

Lisa M. in  Oregon
November 2005

“I was really pleased with the way the breeches conformed to my shape without bunching or pinching. The breathable deerskin is heaven-sent and allows all the appropriate stretching and bending, and the grip-ability was spectacular. To top it off, they are quite fashionable and I get compliments every time I wear them!”

Heather C. in Washington
December 2005

“These breeches fit extremely well and are very comfortable.  I find that the grip is so good I seldom have to take my leg off my horse to reposition it.  I love how well they breathe and how well I can move in them. I actually feel safer when I am riding a hot horse in my FITS breeches because of the superior grip.”

Bernadine Diers, Trainer in Oregon,
July 2005

“How many breeches have I bought and worn once because they turned out to be uncomfortable to ride in? I'm afraid to count.  FITS breeches feel like they were made for my body… really tailored to my proportions.  And I love the color selection – rich and earthy.  The price is just right too.”

Tracy F. in Oregon
July 2005

“I really like the streamlined look and feel of the breeches.They are very flattering and comfortable. The breeches feel like they really move with your body yet have stick in the saddle.”
