I have many breeches. Many expensive, which determined to have a good quality. But as I have now tried for the first time the HKM BASIC full seat with Belmtex grip, my first thought was: "Never again something else!". The pants looks great, is convenient, but you sit there so safe in the saddle, thanks to the Belmtexbesatzes !!! I've never seen a breeches that offers this great stocking for soooooo little money. I am totally happy with these pants. My Arabian mare is in fact often times think that she must be frightened, or lawn really - I feel totally safe in the saddle with these pants. Feel good!
