Kerrits Ice Fil Bootcut Black Medium

I have had these pants for a month and the cuffs did not last. I ride saddle seat 2 horses 3x week and they did not last. I bought 3 pairs of these pants and only the regular length has holes. I bought a pair in the color shale in long and they seem to be a bit heavier and quite a bit longer, no holes. I do love the way they feel and look. Great concept. Need to improve the hardiness of the cuff. I am going to try the Alympic Equestrian pant (http://alympicequestrian.com/) next to see if they are better constructed.

I bought these tights two months ago in two different lengths and I also bought a pair of Alympic jodhpurs and the Kerrits have edged out the Alympic pair for my practice rides. The Alympic's are definitely higher quality material and the bottom cuffs are reinforced but the Kerrits breathe better so I am cooler. These Kerrits are great for my hot and dusty barn days. I will save my Alympic's for horse shows. They are beautiful. I ride 3 days a week but I have 3 pairs of tights and the grippy Kerrits are holding up just fine. I do wash them in cold and I have never dried them. The only reason for 4 not 5 is due to bottom cuff needing to be reinforced. I will also add that SmartPak offered to exchange the regular length pair that immediately ripped due to clip-on tie downs. I declined because from here on out only buying them in long. The longs are very long so the material does not pull as much on clip-ons when riding, so no holes.
