It is very hard to find boys riding clothes so we were thrilled to find that Smartpak had these boys pants. We had been looking for a boys jodhpur pant for awhile and finally found these. Usually we saw breeches but he is only 7 and in paddock boots still. My son was so happy to have boy pants after years of getting his sister's hand me downs. A front zipper makes trips to the bathroom much easier for him. He likes the front pockets and back pocket styling of these pants. He is using these pants to show in and so far they are holding up well- he can be pretty tough on pants. The sizing may be on the small side. He is normally a size 10 (he is a big kid for his age) but he liked the fit of the 12 better and he is growing so we went with the larger size. Would love it if Smartpak had some boys jackets.
