    In TX, I found the LL Bean tropic weight cargo pants comfortable to wear. They had some with old fat guy waists . It was funny, at TX matches, most people wore long pants even in the heat. In NYS, I wore such and the gamers asked why I didn't wear shorts. Like we don't have tics and I learned to cover up for the sun. Also wore long sleeve moisture wicking shirts - same reason, as a sun shield for the inferno.

    I understand your reluctance, but let a skinny dude at 5’11” and a buck sixty five preach the gospel.

    For the past couple of years I’ve been wearing the Wrangler Outdoor style “tech pants” they sell at Target for $25 a pair at work. For doing manual labor in the hot humid south they’ve been a game changer compared to the carharts or cotton blend fatigue pants I used to wear. When your working on the ground and constantly squatting getting back up or occasionally climbing trees and shit that little bit of give in the fabric makes a comfort difference at the end of the day. Also, the breathability/ and 70% faster drying time versus cotton clothing in a subtropical climate mean far better cooling and less chaffing if you’re putting in miles walking around.


    Also, blue jeans with a bit of stretch make motorcycle rides just a bit more comfortable as well with some stretch in the knees, crotch and waist. And with the right color and cut I’ve never had a woman say they look bad, and I’ve asked a few who wouldn’t bullshit me if they thought I looked like a hobo.

    Just a little bit of give to them. Get on their email list and grab them when sales come up.

    I’m a long time DT customer, and I swear a day never goes by where they don’t send a deal email. I’ll try a pair of those on next time I’m down in Round Rock. Thanks!

    I've liked the DT pants for incipient SUMO types like me. However, the ones I wear are for more NY state chiller times than TX.

    I wear DT Foreman pants frequently (like every day). I can't believe how many flashlights I can comfortably carry in those pants!
