Every pair of riding pants I have ever owned or even tried on have been really hot and make me sweat shortly after putting them on.The 03 Oneal Hardware pants are a little different material and are very comfortable and easy to move in and breath far better most other brands.Most pants also seem to run a bit small but these are sized slightly big and it's easy to fit riding shorts and side pads and knee pads underneath.They also don't swish when you walk in them.If your in the market for some new drawers give them a look.
