I had wondered how these were too. I always thought they
looked really great but I thought down here in TX they might be kind of heavy.

Subject: [RC] Leather on tights?
Last fall, I happened to realize that I LOVE riding in
leather chaps (full, not half) over tights. They offer just the right amount of
'stick' so even on big spooks I don't budge, yet they don't interfere with the
posting motion at all. But, once we hit hot and humid weather they may be a bit
'much' so I'm investigating tights with a leather seat/leg patch. I have my eye
on Equissentials tights with a full leather seat (leather from seat to ankle),
but they cost more than my chaps did, so I had better LOVE them. Does anyone
reading this ride in tights with a leather seat? They actually call them
'endurance seat' tights on their website (www.equissentials.net),
but that doesn't mean that endurance riders are using them, I suppose... ; -
