[pct-l] pants in the desert???

[montypct]

Want some bad advise?  I may end up with skin cancer the way I'm going.

I use zip pants.  Very light weight.  Inexpensive Big 5 Suisse Sport.  (I 
have to replace the buckles with something less brittle.)  I was on San 
Felipe Hills yesterday.  It was hot.  I was just fine.
Normally I would have been in shorts.
I often wear very light running shorts.
Sometimes I hike without a shirt.

Not wise, just me.
