Nice. Would not stand up to the bugs one encounters in my line of work (fucking ticks like to burrow under hems. it's not just that they can, they LIKE pressure. little creeps.) but I could see this being handy for hot days if you're not going through tall vegetation.

fucked up in the crib rocking bug pants

#i had to do a double take when i realized the bug protection on these is probably LESS than normal pants.#because ticks are evasive and chiggers are too small #granted regular pants also won't protect completely against ticks unless you duct tape all the openings - yes really - but I digress #but then i realized that most people don't want to wear long pants outside in the heat.#and they don't need real pants because they don't plan on walking through poison ivy and thorn bushes #oh. duh.#my perspective of the outdoors has been skewed by fieldwork in some of the most poison-ivy and tick infested places in the country #uncaptioned #bug pants
