Are these pants good for hot weather, or would you bake in them in a dry summer?

They are pretty light-weight. I got them to wear in a tropical climate. The zip off feature is a nice bonus, too. They dry quickly as well.

They probably would be hot as they are not a light weight material. They are very durable though. Hope this helps.

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!

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.

They are good up to 500 degrees F so I'm pretty sure they are good for baking I know a few people who have used them when making certain edibles...

Absolutely these would work for you, they might get a little warm to wear all the time but for putting things in and out of the oven they would work great

I absolutely love these pans. I honestly never used them in the oven, but I don't see why not. I dont think 500 is a good temp to use, but moderate should be ok-350 to say 400. Any temp under 350 should be fine.

"Light-Medium" weight. Not too thick, or heavy, but not lightweight. Right in the middle somewhere. Seems to be a very dense fabric, not flimsy or 'tissue' like either. I think the pants are a very substantial fabric, yet they'd be okay on a warmer day and not stifling hot. They do not feel bulky or heavy on, but I think they're substantial enough for hiking and having your legs rub against brush and it wouldn't hurt or scratch through.

i really like them a little gooey so I have never tried to dry them. however, I imagine putting them on a sheet and then in the early morning sun for a while would do the trick. try it with one or two.

yes, wich can be good and bad depending on your needs. I like the fact that we don't have to iron them but we live in the desert and in the summertime cotton breathes much better. hope this helps

No, they are good to wear over a base layer that is thin yet Insulating. Jeans would be too bulky and too much for the waist unless you go up a size.

I believe, yes, in hot weath climate in works like Forestguard, but isn't the ideal, this may work well but..., I sugesst to you Propper but 100% cotton ripstop BDU's pants, P.D. I'm in Colombia, I work in field, wet forest and cloud forest, I know wath I say.

Yes. The pants are true to size. I would recommend when washing them, that you hang them to dry.

I guess they're not super dry, but seem to be dry enough to preserve them. Drying further might deepen the color, which may not be as attractive, depending on what you're cooking. The big question for me would be how do they taste? Mine were pleasant, hot enough to burn awhile, but not hot enough to blow my face off. I like them and think they're pretty,.

I use them in a charcoal grill as a drip pan in between the coals and to bake beans in. I believe that's over 300 degrees F.

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

Maybe for summer, but not spring and fall. We're in Finland, so we wear them year round (doubt it gets much above 85F here in the summer). We wear them with our shorts in the summer.

Good question. I live in Mississippi! They're mostly cotton, which is good. But they are standard denim weight. In MS in the summer it's so hot I don't even wear colors--just light tan with white shirts. I'll probably wear them some, though. Wore them again yesterday, and they really are a nice quality.

I have washed them, but I have not put them in the dryer. I prefer to air dry, but if you do I suggest you use the low setting to protect from shrinkage.

It depends on your metabolism. The pants are excellent for tropical environs but I would wear them in the Sierra wilderness trek during the sunny day hiking but they are not heavily durable so I think you need something a bit more of a tuff weave for backpacking in wilderness alpine rough conditions.
