Largies4Life Posted July 19, 2019 Posted July 19, 2019 The title says it all. What kind of long pants do you like to wear out on the boat during really hot days to protect your legs? Any good brands out there that do a good job of making the pants breathable, yet keep your legs protected? Thanks! Quote
Junger Posted July 19, 2019 Posted July 19, 2019 I have a couple pairs of UA pants, they're wicking and pretty lightweight. SPF 50+...look to be discontinued, but I'm sure they have similar ones out. https://www.underarmour.com/en-us/pcid1290355-076-LG Quote
FishingGeekTX Posted July 19, 2019 Posted July 19, 2019 Try Cabela's? They have some decent clothing. https://www.cabelas.com/product/MENS-WORLD-WIDE-SPORTSMAN-HYBRID-II-PANTS/2861293.uts?productVariantId=5924604&WT.tsrc=PPC&WT.mc_id=GoogleProductAds&WT.z_mc_id1=02135765&rid=20&ds_rl=1246522&ds_rl=1246585&ds_rl=1246588&ds_rl=1252079&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI5LW7v9fB4wIVZZJbCh0_aA_4EAQYASABEgIGjPD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds Quote
Super User Paul Roberts Posted July 19, 2019 Super User Posted July 19, 2019 Well... I've always gone to thrift stores to find the lightest weight cotton pants I can find. $3 a pop. 2 Quote

Super User Scott F Posted July 19, 2019 Super User Posted July 19, 2019 During the summer, I wear nothing but the lightweight, quick dry, nylon pants. They are sold by many companies. NEVER anything cotton or denim. Once those get wet, they stay damp. The nylon pants get rid of sweat quickly. Even if you get a quick rain, or do a short wade, the pants will dry quickly. Very comfortable. Most have zip off legs that convert to shorts if you want. 3 Quote

I can cram everything I need for a days fishing in those pockets. Too hot for summer here though. This time of year I'm wondering how cool that middle eastern desert garb is. Quote
HoosierFisher Posted July 19, 2019 Posted July 19, 2019 Magellan zip off pants are great. Lightweight and water resistant. Also don't break the bank. 1 Quote
Super User OkobojiEagle Posted July 19, 2019 Super User Posted July 19, 2019 An equally important question is what do you wear under those long pants for all-day comfort... oe Quote
JediAmoeba Posted July 19, 2019 Posted July 19, 2019 I wear shorts and a tank top. After burning myself a few times I am good for the season Quote

Keep that up and when you get a little further down the road - they may be carving banana sized chunks of melanoma out of you. It's not pretty. Please consider covering up - that stuff is cumulative & seriously damaging. Can't undo it. A-Jay 8 Quote
Super User JustJames Posted July 19, 2019 Super User Posted July 19, 2019 Most of the time Columbia backcast convertible. https://www.columbia.com/mens-pfg-backcast-convertible-pant-1543971.html in cooler month any running long pant should work. Quote

In the winter, ice fishing I have less on than a lot of guys in the summer. I have a few sun shirts from aftco and Columbia and I just roast in them. And forget pants...I am one of those nuts wearing shorts when it is 5 below 0 2 Quote
BIGfryFish Posted July 20, 2019 Posted July 20, 2019 My favorites have been Wrangler Rugged Wear Angler pants & Cabela's Trailhiker Pants Pros: Comfortable relaxed fit. variety of sizes (waist & inseam long/short) elastic fit waist quick drying. pockets/loops The Cabela's have been replaced with Cabela's Trailhiker II Pants. They're not bad, but the old design was a more relaxed fit. The side pockets are now kinda stiff/snug. :( From what I see now on Cabelas or BPS websites you can only get these in store now. :( Quote
Super User N Florida Mike Posted July 20, 2019 Super User Posted July 20, 2019 When it’s hot I fish early and late in the day or night. I don’t think I’ve ever worn long pants to go fishing here in the summer. My legs are somewhat shaded by sitting in the jboat most of the time. I do try to wear sunscreen on arms and head areas. 2 Quote
Crankin4Bass Posted July 20, 2019 Posted July 20, 2019 Columbia, Cabelas or Simms with sun protection. Quote
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted July 20, 2019 BassResource.com Administrator Posted July 20, 2019 Columbia Silver Ridge pants are excellent for hot summer days. https://amzn.to/2SwJGaT Quote
