There are plenty of long pant options which are breathable, in Australia there are lots of long pants aimed at Trades people which are designed to be as breathable as possible while still maintaining sun-protection and graze protection etc

I can't really see the need to wear shorts, when there are plenty of breathable and lightweight long pant options available, well in Australia anyway. I guess it comes down to personal choice |
Why are members of your team biting folks?
That being said, I don't wear shorts. But I know it's fairly popular to do so at FL regionals. Plus, I'd rather focus on preventing my students from turning 125 t-shirts into 125 vests... That's enough of a full time job.
