Warm weather long pants

[oafpatroll]

My rich uncle brings them for me. £30 a pair. Even at current exchange rates of R24 = £1 it is still a bargain if you consider how long they last.

Made in China just doesn’t work for me. Goedkoop is duurkoop.

That is a good deal. Are they surplus? New seems to be above 40 euro.

Considering other your other current thread, mention of moist trousers brings certain images to mind

Eish, just eish. That one was out there, it just had to find a place to land!

I don't understand the concept of warm weather and long pants.

For me its ticks and sunburn to my pasty white legs

I'm looking for summer outdoor pants, but it's a struggle. Partly because I don't really understand the pros, and cons of things like cotton, nylon, polyamide etc. as it applies to clothing in warm conditions.

Ideally I would wear shorts, but long grass, bugs, ticks, stinging nettle etc makes that impractical.

I get warm very quickly, and would like pants that stay cool, but still offer some barrier against stinging nettle, insects etc.

I would appriciate any advice or tips.

I recently bought a pair of these https://www.511tactical.com/511-tact...ns-cotton.html and my goodness, everything i needed, lightweight, breathable and quick drying, the fit is a bit on the "baggie" side, but otherwise really good pair of pants. (just read through this, sounds like an advert)
