Hot weather pants?

[czgunner]

I'm looking for some pants to run some classes in this summer. I'm back in school, so money isn't as easy right now. I'd like to stay under $150. Not sure if its a thing, but I use my 11.5 suppressed, and am concerned about the full synthetic pants melting to my legs.
First priority would be breath ability/cool. Next would be durability.
I sure appreciate any suggestions.

I’ve been wearing this for work for a few years. I don’t know if you’re interested in the zip off leg aspect of them, but pants and shorts in one…! I’ve never tested the against a suppressor, but they’re 22% polyester.

You could always get the IHWCU pants. They're not as cool running as some of my preferred pants, but those are more expensive and made of synthetics (Outdoor Research Ferrosi Pants, Patagonia Quandary). I use a pair of Propper IHWCU pants for SAR during summer; the ultralight softshells I use for climbing and hiking, where there's a lot less bushwacking involved.

That’s a good idea, they’re definitely the best hot weather pants I’ve used for the price.

Tru Spec Ascent pants are fantastic for hot weather.

Im a big fan of the fjallraven ventillated vidda pros.
Not sure about melting risk but they are mostly cotton.

So, it seems the light pants for summer are mostly synthetic. Am I over think things with suppressor contact and melting/burning?

Yes, those are excellent pants. Downside on the vents is no screen or perf'ed lining for protection from brush, bugs, or sun. You're literally wide open.

The ventilated and regular Vidda Pros will take a beating.

One of the things I really liked about the Truspec 24/7 Xpedition knockoff of the Viddas was that they had a screen material over the side and ankle vents for this reason. They are not a lightweight pant, but were solid. Now discontinued.

Yeah they have the mesh in the crotch and depending on where/what im doing, ill just open them for a few mins and close them back up.

It may be beneficial to add in some mosquito netting if you have a skill and need for it.

Advantage to the Viddas is that there are no treatments or membranes you have to have to worry about penetrating or sealing if you mod or repair them. Just rewax to preference and drive on. Some spots can be harder to get a machine in but easy for a good sew shop.
