I live in a very hot climate (hot and humid), are these pants really light weight? Are they breathable?

We live in Florida and these pants are great even on the hottest days. They are light weight and breathable as well as water proof, which is great because it rains a lot here in the summer.

I live in north texas very hot very humid and I wear them every day at workAs a marine mechanic. They are a little warm at first but after 5 or so washes they breathe much better. Even new they still breath better than jeans.

Yes, but keep in mind that it is not as durable as the the regular 5.11 tactical pants.

My son says they are perfect for hot and humid weather. He is in the middle east.

They are incredibly lightweight. I live in a very hot, humid area of Texas and these work perfectly. I bought 4 pair and wear them every day.

I think the pant not suitable for a very hot climate (hot and humid) place.It's medium thickness,not very light weight,but good bresthable.

I also have to deal with the heat and humidity and I feel they work well in that environment. Obviously, I would rather be in shorts but sometimes that can't be helped.

These are snow pants so they may be classified as waterproof but likely at the lowest rating (given the price) which equates to a light rain. Anything more would have water slowly start to seep in.

I think that depends on you. I only wear mine when it is below 40 degrees and after long runs for recovery. Other than that I run in shorts. If you are wearing them for the compression aspects, I would say it would depend on how you feel in a humid and hot climate like Miami.

No. The pants don't make noise when you walk. The pants are GREAT on hot humid days. Very lightweight material

The material is a very heavy nylon outer shell, and I would say that they would protect against any "road rash". I've found the pants to be very dry during my winter rides, and very warm. I have only ridden in 2 heavy rains since owning them, and both times, I only had some small wet areas around my knees...... Other than that, for the price, these have been excellent pants, and a great addition to my gear. I am anxious to see during the summer months how they work with the zip out lining removed, and if they will be to hot to use??

I wore them out to Costa Rica and Nicaragua just recently. It was blazing hot out there and my bottoms did get pretty hot still. I only wore them as shorts of course; however, I do feel they were fine for morning and early afternoons. During the rest of the day I was on the beach so I can't say much for the really hot hours. I do feel while in shade when I did wear them (buses, etc to carry my items) I was "okay". Then again, it was insanely hot out. Normally if I wore these in the states on a hot day, I would feel perfectly fine. Crowded areas with no air flow - not so great if you're wearing them as pants. I would still HIGHLY recommend buying a pair. These are fantastic since they're pants and shorts. Really good for nights when the bugs come out or for the airplane when it gets pretty chilly (and when you get off at your final hot destination just unzip them and change them to shorts). Hope this helps you!

Being from Florida I am not tolerate of cold at all. If you live in a cold water region you might be more accustomed to the chill. But for me these pants work fine until temps drop to 65-68 degrees. I also like the coverage from wind and stinging things. Hope this helps.

yes, they can get pretty toasty in there. i only wear them to walk to work in the morning as there is dew all over the grass & gets my feet & pants wet & they seem to be fine. but i have worn them out to check on my garden & they definitely keep your feet warm.

Mine aren't so I don't wear them in bad weather. I think it's better that they 'breathe'. Waterproofing them could make them smell bad because your feet would sweat with nowhere for the moisture to go.

I would say they have medium warmth. They are a lighter weight sweat pant but do provide some warmth. Would recommend!

Fabric is breathable and quick dry, so better than cotton in my opinion and I've worn them in hot dry climates. Would just go with lighter colors to stay cooler.

Yes/No.Yes: They keep me covered temperature wise on my ride to work, but I'm in sunny socal, so the whole climate is wind resistant. It's a thin outdoor/breathable material.No: These are shorts, with a breathable material.Would I use these to bike on a cold Chicago day, maybe, I'm a sweater, so it'd keep me balanced; but once you stop riding/moving around, the punishment would ensue. Hope this helps.

not really breathable because their waterproof. I take them off when it gets in the 20's so they don't get too warm. these are easy to put on and stay on really good. kept the horses warm and dry and we've been down to -15, had freezing rain and lots of snow. I'm very glad I got em. hope this helps. Michelle

No, they're a lightweight, durable hiking/climbing pant. Tights or long underware under them makes them a good bet for the shoulder seasons.

I have not yet had a chance to test drive these particular pants, though I am working on it. That said, these are nylon. I hear that before Underarmor invented wicking sportswear fabric, nylon was terrible stuff. I even believe it, as I had a horrible nylon sweater that would make me sweat in negative temps. However, nylon and polyester and other synthetic fabrics are in most athletic clothes, and they are both comfy and breathable, as well as quickly wicking away moisture. (And, in the case, moisture is sweat from hiking.)

Haven't tried it because it hasn't been hot where I live yet since I got em... But I think they are light enough to wear in warmer weather. I work out indoors with them and don't get hot.

Not at all! I love these pants! I just wish they were a little warmer because I would wear them all year long! They are the most comfortable pants I have ever worn (without a sound).
