    Why are there no good warm weather trousers for men?

    In Asia you can use the elephant pants but outside of Asia they are women only. Same with the gringo pants in south America.

    I just want cool baggy pants I can wear as a man.

      You can wear them anywhere you want but yeah you’ll be labelled a hippie.

      What kind of trousers exactly? Light jeans and light slacks certainly exist. But generally, baggy and trousers don’t go together. Unless you manage to find really relaxed fit ones, but those would probably just look bad.

        Something that I can use like elephant pants.

        Walking around in 35c+ weather and not needing to put suncream on.

            I’ve never actually seen linen trousers. I went out to try buy some once and got convinced they are unbuyable except online.

            But they don’t really look like they will hold up to hiking up a hill through some brush like elephant pants but I’ll give them a go.

              If you’re hiking through brush then definitely not linen.For that, I’d just go with some lightweight synthetic fabric, like hiking pants.

              I don’t know where you are, but I was at REI the other day and saw these guys on the sale rack: https://www.rei.com/product/216255/rei-co-op-trailmade-pants-mens?color=BIRCH BROWN

              Very nice and light, plenty durable. Not baggy, but they’ve got a little stretch for moving around. Probably a bit more snug in the back than you’re looking for, but otherwise they seemed pretty nice to me. I would have bought a pair if they were a little heavier, because I need a pair of outdoors pants (but I’m in a cooler climate).
