Trying to get some nice pants for my fiancée as a gift, his pants are soaked in sweat already halfway through his shift and needs something more breathable, he does commercial plumbing for work and has to be outside a lot, humidity has been In 80-90% range recently and it’s been brutal
I have plenty of heavy duty jeans and carharts but that last me, but my cargo pants always seem to get ruined easily. Just lost my 10in1 today from the hole my pliers made in my back pocket and I’m over it.

Recommendations on the most breathable / cooling work pants available that actually feel like they're better than the typical work pants.
Hello, I'm a welder at a factory and was hoping you guys might have suggestions for pants for this summer. My building has a powder coat oven in it and it gets super hot. My lee jeans hold up just fine so they don't need to be any more durable than a regular pair of jeans.
I don't ever do hot work, so my solution isn't helpful for you specifically, but it might help others. I've found that nylon hiking pants are fantastic in hot weather. Nylon is abrasion-resistant, so they hold up well, they're quick-drying, and they don't stick to sweaty skin. I like the ones with a bit of stretch. The pocket situation usually isn't great, but I can live with it if it means I'm not struggling with waterlogged jeans by morning break.
Not at all helpful for you as I’m sure that as a welder you absolutely don’t want any fabrics that can melt, but I started using hiking pants in summer, and holy hell I couldn’t imagine having to go back to jeans.
I’m sorry that I don’t have anything useful for you.
Carpenter here, I usually wear jeans all year round however it gets pretty rought in the summer especially once the temperature gets over 35 degrees c with humidity. Wondering if you guys have any recommendations for pants when it gets hot
Hello!
Job is consulting. I'm in desperate need of new work clothing for the field. Its a little hard as a women to find good work pants and shirts that aren't ill-fitting. It will be very hot this summer so I kind of want something breathable. I've been wearing stuff from academy but the briar and such are literally a pain in my rear whenever I wear those clothes lol. Can anyone reccomend me any brands or ideas of where to get good field stuff for women (and hopefully reasonably priced?)
I work outdoors in the heat (85 degrees and up on some days) and I wear long pants for sun protection. I've got some Duluth dry on the fly pants that I wear however I've found their quality to be going downhill and their prices have been steadily rising. I need the durability of work wear pants and I get that comes at a sacrifice of some breathability.
All that said, how do these pants do in the heat compared to similarly weighted pants?
Something with thin light material, but durable for consistent outdoor work in Australian summers. Having trouble finding something that looks good.
Prana stretch zion convertible pants. I’m not allowed to wear shorts out in the field so I just slightly unzip the legs to get some additional air flow.
I found some for my partner - FXD brand. He worked at Bunnings for around 3 years in Queensland and they were the only brand that would last longer than a couple of months. They have a couple of different types of material that are all very light and they look pretty nice too. A little pricey though at around $50.
I work outside a lot in 90 degree very high humidity weather. I really need to find some lightweight breathable pants to wear. Jeans are just becoming miserably uncomfortable in this kind of weather. What do you guys wear? shorts are not allowed in my company.
I'll be travelling through south east asia for a few months. I expect to wear shorts most of the time, but wanted one pair of pants in case I need to avoid bugs, etc.
So far I've heard of the Western Rise Evo. Anything else I should consider?
Hello. I'd appreciate recommendations for lightweight and breathable men's pants that, given that they'll get very dirty with the yard work, are stain resistant and wash and dry pretty quickly. Thx!
With many of us back in the office this year + the weather beginning to approach 100° in some areas, the time of sweaty walks to work are upon us.
So, what are your favorite business casual/professional outfits for the summer? How do you balance walking to work or lunch when the heat index is 110°, but the office is running the air conditioning on full blast? Pants, tops, dresses, shoes, etc. - what do you like? How do you prevent yourself from being filled with existential dread about the state of the environment?
I’d love to hear what everyone is wearing and what your favorite pieces are!
Hi! I just started a new job with the DNR, anyone know any good brands for pants for women?? i’m 5’4 and will be working mostly outdoors in pretty hot weather so something not too heavy would be nice but also preferably with pockets. thanks 🙏
Currently working in a shop where Im currently working a 50/50 split of sitting on a computer and standing building things, and my current pants are about to give out after about 5 months, looking for some good work pants that work well in a hot shop and that will last me at least a year , what do the rest of you use?
Hello,
I am new around here. I was wondering if there were any thin pants (maybe linen) that work in really hot weather. Here where I live it’s 35C every day, and it feels like the only thing I can wear comfortably is athletic shorts.
I'm looking for long pants I can wear to work that stay cool in heat, and dry, even with heavy sweating.
Light colors or black preferred.
I wear suspenders, so I don't want to need to replace bachelor buttons at $8 a set every time the pants wear out.
Any suggestions of light/cool work pants???
