Meet Me 1/2 Way

I dont know if these are necessarily new, but Equissential has a line of breeches called the "Dressage Patch." They have an exteneded knee patch reaching up till about 6 inches below the top of the inside thigh. I guess the point is that you can have more grip in the thigh but have your seatbones free. It totally makes sense, however, in dressage, I am strictly a full seat kind of girl. They retail for $130.
