---------------Holy cow - I couldn't IMAGINE the ones I had being a "winter weight" or "fall weight" material. Definitely NOT what I would consider to be winter weight material. They were advertised as "lightweight", which to me indicated that they were summer weight. > I have several pairs of the lightweight ones and I LOVE the regular Kerrits tights - they are about as breathable as any type I've found in our intense summer humidity. ----------------You've not tried my summer weight PowerDry material pants ;-). THOSE are breathable. I'm so incredibly picky about materials. The stretch in the Kerrits pants was great, but I surely didn't feel that they had enough breathability AND wicking properties to keep me cool and dry in summer heat and humidity. But I truly can't tolerate heat and humidity. I get red, raw and itchy heat rash in hot and humid temps. I HAVE to have fabric that is exceptionally breathable and wicking performing fabric, not just stretchy. Anything less makes me horribly miserable for days afterwards. > I haven't had a problem with the waistband rolling. I'm short, and the regular length is too long for me, but I just fold them up. They also come in talls. > Karen -----------------You lucky lady. I'm not sure if I was just one of those "exceptions to the rule"? The waistband rolled over on me and also twisted. I think it would be easier for me to find pants that were too long. I could just re-hem them. But when they're too short, you just can't do anything about it. I ordered the Kerrits boot-cut riding tights in longs, but they were still too short for me. Dawn Bruin-Slot, northern Michigan Fuzzy Logic Equine
