Looking for an alternative to sweatpants but for the summer
Lightweight sweats
A lot of the fast fashion brands make linen blend joggers. I have some lightweight Champion sweats I got of Amazon. They were cotton but really thin.

What are some of the most comfortable and quality sweat/chill pants out there?
Obviously it’s too hot for sweatpants but I don’t feel comfortable physically and mentally in much else. I don’t like jeans or tights/leggings, they feel too constraining and I don’t care for the fitted feeling. If there’s such an alternative that won’t make me overheat as easily I would be very grateful - thank you. ———————————————————————————
Edit (6/01/2024): Thank you everyone for your wonderful suggestions and input! Based on favorable reccomedations there's three that I'm going to try (all black/Medium) - I will be sure to come back to this post once I've worn them out a bit and let you know my general thoughts! Thank you everyone so much!!!

• These aren’t the worse, they definitely don’t let me overheat which is great, but my biggest complaints with these pants have to do with the pocket, fit, and length of the legs. There’s only one pocket, a bit flimsy for my liking so I feel a little insecure about my items. Also having just one pocket is kinda a bummer, I carry a lot with me most often so I could use all the carrying space I can get. And the items that I do pocket weigh the pants down a bit. Yet at the same time, I personally am not a fan of the cut of these pants, they’re too high on my ankles. I do not like to show skin so I have to wear a specific pair of long socks with these to help that. They’re definitely usable with comfortable lightweight material, but they can certainly be better. Good, they work, but I’d rather return them and find a better pair, just not totally worth the cost to me.

• This one is pretty good! They fit well, and absolutely do their job at not overheating myself, they are more than comfortable to wear on a hot day, and fit well. I appreciate that it has two accessible pockets for my things and are overall pleasant to wear. They might bunch a bit at the bottom of the legs (as depicted in the listing), not a flaw just not really my style, but it doesn’t ruin the quality of them for me. Overall, they are worth it!

• Easily my favorite of the three pairs I purchased. Not only is the material comfortable and light enough to not overheat myself, but the amount of pockets and zippers on these pants are so helpful. The two hidden zippered pockets are great for keeping my valuable items (ex. Car keys, wallet, etc.) safe and the other two are perfectly roomy enough and comfortable. These pants don’t feel like they are weighed down much if at all by the things I’ve pocketed, things fit in the pockets without me worrying if they’d fall out, and they sit at a comfortable length on my ankles. My biggest problem was actually purchasing these pants due to the manufacture misprinting their labeling but I got them in the end and simply love them and their style, I’d highly recommend this pair!
