>>1508101In here, Arizona, REAL Arizona, south of mogellon rim, it gets hot. Most times its dry, denim can absorb heat and you can touch them feels like 120 degrees.
The best thing and probly best thing is they are a thick barrier to thorns from trees and the hundreds of different cacti filling every foot of desert out here.
If you walk far and wide just brushing through trails your bare legs will look like you were whipped with barbwire, including your arms. Well tended park trails usually have everything trimmed back for normies. Heavy pants make you feel armored. If you want to cool off take pants off.
I remember when the dungeree pants/ zipper off to short pants were a thing.
