I'm looking for some lightweight pants to wear while landscaping, particularly for weedwacking and using a lawnmower. I live in an area with a lot of foxtails and rough brush, so I need something that offers decent protection without being too heavy or restrictive. Our temperatures often reach over 110°F, so breathability is key. Any recommendations?

You might want to consider wearing shorts with gaiters to protect your shins! They're lightweight and keep you cool in the heat. I recommend the Knight & Hale Snake Gaiters—they’re pretty good.
I’ve had success with Livsn flex canvas pants. They’re lighter than denim and provide solid protection without making you feel weighed down. Definitely worth checking out if you can invest a bit.
For a budget-friendly option, I stick to Dickies. They keep me cool enough in summer while still being durable against rocks and brush. Plus, they're pretty affordable!
Thanks for the recommendation! I'll definitely check out Dickies.
