How are they for traveling in hot, humid weather?

being in the Middle East, I try to keep myself hydrated. I keep litters of water and Gatorade handy. light and loss clothing helps to. try what works for you.. but make sure to rehydrate. :)

Best warm-weather EMS pants I've found. They're somewhere between rip-stop nylon and a normal solid work-pant. They dry quickly, wipe clean (ish), and are cooler overall than most pants of a similar style.

These pants are light weight compared to any other emergency operations pants ive had in the past. These beat cotton or any other comparative material. I just ordered another pair last week out of my own pocket instead of wearing the pants my company paid for. I'm also working in 105 temperature. Best Pair to wear, hands down!

I'm an EMT in South Carolina. As far as these types of pants go, they are alright in the heat... they are much more lightweight than some. However, none of them breathe particularly well. I have to wear dark blue ones, maybe a lighter color pant would be cooler.

These pants performed beautiful in both humid weather as well as cold weather. I wore the pants in Costa Rica, where there is a diverse climate from the lowlands to the highlands.

i believe they would, my hubby cycles in South Florida in extreme humidity, and he sweats heavily. His cycling shoes and helmet wouldn't even dry overnight inside with air conditioning. I got these and in about 8 hours they were dry and didn't smell. I don't know how they work but he swears by them.

I like them when on the eliptical, however they do cover the ears and if it is really hot then sweat can become an issue.

I live in a super humid environment. They work best when they're damp and have airflow over them. They're going to be sticky and as uncomfortable as any athletic clothing would be at that humidity, but your skin is still protected. If you're at that level of humidity and in the sun, it's going to suck with or without the sleeves.

I typically wear cotton, but use these for traveling when I'll be doing a lot of outdoor activities like hiking, biking, etc. I wore both cotton & these in Costa Rica & these were far superior in wicking & drying after washing. My cotton ones were all sweaty & stuck to me. I'd guess these would prevent the yeasty beasties if you're sweating & continue wearing them more so than cotton.

I've taken mine on a number of rides, in good weather and bad. The last time I took them on a rainy trip, they held up well for two days (it rained one day and one night.) The contents inside were dry, so they'll handle the rain. I'm not going to say they're waterproof, since if you drop them in a lake of water the contents will get wet. But they'll be fine in the rain (and mud!) Honestly, they're nice to have. They hold a good amount of gear. Between them, a camelback, and some ultralight backpacking gear, you can easily store what you need too and them some! They'll be going with me again on the C&O Canal this spring/summer. Ohhh, they won't hold a bed roll, they're not deep enough. But a small sleeping bag should fit nicely, mine fit, but then didn't provide for much additional storage (except for the outside pockets.)

For me, they cooled until they were saturated in sweat, then they just amplified the heat. I wore mine mountain biking in 90+ degree and >70% humidity several times and they were great for the first 15 minutes or so, then I just got too hot and sweaty. If you aren't a sweaty person or they aren't getting wet other ways, you should be good.

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.

They will be fine in a wet environment. Mine have weathered countless heavy thunderstorms and strong winds with no problems. Highly recommend them.

If you are in air conditioned room, and humidity not to high, not a problem. I have not had any problems under these conditions.

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.

Shouldn't be a problem, I ride in the heat of Central California and 29 Palms and they are fine. I keep them in room temperature when at home. Just keep them dry.

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.

I don't know, we live in Oklahoma where it is very hot and humid in the summer and my husband prefers his when out working a lot. He had owned one previously and lost it and really wanted another. I got two, and he once again is wearing his all the time.

I've never used it in "wet/humid weather". I'm sure it'll dry quickly as it is very thin.
