I have nine pairs of the icefil tights, which are extremely lightweight and cool, but not quite ‘kind’ enough to wear running errands on the way home from the barn. (I’m a trim 5’9” medium build but not young, so I’m self-conscious about these things...)
Love the Affinity! For me, by far the most flattering of all the Kerrits breeches. Definitely not as ‘default’ cool as the tights, but that’s only to be expected with the heavier material. I found out by accident that if I spray them in the wash stall, it’s instant air conditioning, so I do that intentionally on the hotter days before I mount up.
What would make a perfect product for me would be:
1) The same material in a pull-on breech (like the Mobility) since all the Kerrits zipper breeches are significantly too big in the waist on me
2) Full seat stick (which I’ve been told is already on the way for 2020)
3) Cargo pocket for schooling/hacking (I realize the Affinity is theoretically designed for showing, but they’re available in black, which is clearly not intended for shows, so...) I would replace all my tights with the Affinity if there were a version of it with a phone pocket (a must for those of us who hack out alone)
But for now, highly recommend the first generation of this breech.
