There's a reason most seasoned anglers wear long pants: protection, from coral, bugs and, most importantly, the searing rays of tropical sun. But that doesn't mean you have to suffer the heat either. The new Patagonia Tropical Flats Pants are the lightest, most comfortable hot-weather pants we've ever made. A cool, airy 3-oz nylon/spandex blend dries quickly, floats over the skin, and provides 30-UPF sun protection. For even greater ventilation, the unique pocket snap system holds the pocket bag open to catch cooling breezes. Mesh drainage ensures you won't carry half the ocean in your pockets when you get out of the water. Ideal for all warm-weather fishing, hiking or camping. The pants also fold or roll up remarkably small, making them easy to pack for travel. Inseam (size M) is 32. Recyclable through the Common Threads Recycling Program
Purchase USD$45 or more and get free shipping. The Patagonia Tropical Flats Pants is available through Altrec.com.

tight in the butt
The older version of these pants, 10 or mores years old, made me want this pant. Yes it is lightweight and soft. But the waist is as thought the elastic is worn out and the shape is tight around the hips. I have no butt and this pant is tight on me around the hips. Was wishing for replacements of my old ones but these just don't make it. Maybe for someone with no hips, I mean no hips and who like to wear a belt.
