Do You Wear Pants?

[ReMetau]

We sail naked when it is warm which is quite often in S. Florida, but when the weather changes we will dress accordingly. We sail naked because it is comfortable and fun and saves on laundry.

I just wear as little as I can get away with, or as much as I need depending on the weather conditions and social structure. As I live in a cool, often cold area, pants are the norm, but sometimes shorts if warm enough.

i wouldnt do the "nature way" anymore due to skin canccer

Summertime and very hot here. I wear cargo shorts untill away from marina/dock and then nothing or maybe a pareo depending on who is on the boat or who is in the anchorage. Oh yeah, a big hat to protect the solar panel on the head, shade is a must down here.

zeezee what about something wrap around like you see in the pacific? I think its called a whollamatzo which translates like into "long piece of cloth that wraps around waist into a girlie skirt thingy"?

It depends on the weather, but if I’m not wearing board shorts and a T-shirt, then I’m on my way to a place where I can.

I agree.

I wear cargo shorts and would like to find some that are still cotton (nylon etc makes me sweat too much) but thin, without all the extra stitching and folds that I normall find.

Want cheap too!

Asking too much I am sure.

My daughter lives in zip off cargos... mostly from REI that are made from pretty light weight stuff.

the spouse uses his (same pants) for his crazy-ass 2 week hikes thru the sierras in the summer time.

Search for 'sahara'. When they go in sale they are around 30 bucks.

didnt find cargo pants in the sahara site i found--was a lot of expensive pretty ladies wear---not many cotton things--i am seeking cotton as i am not able to wear synthetix of any kind....allergies present in hives and toomuch itchiness...i keep finding cargo pants of light NYLON or synthetic material-- isnt gonna work-- sweaty and itchy...... oh well--mebbe i can find material and a mexican lady to sew it.....
