Guys – hate the heat, but hate shorts even more? One suggestion presented by a likeminded Metafilter are “man-pris… Capri pants for dudes.” Sure. I bet they go well with your “manties ^[1],”  “man-purse,” and “bro-zeere.”

As spurred by the question on Metafilter ^[2]:

I’m a huge baby. Southern California in the summer is too hot for me. I own two pairs of pants. Both are black denim. Are those tactical 511 pants very cool? I don’t wear shorts. What do they wear in the desert? I’m looking for something really cool, really comfortable; not really concerned with fashion -except I hate baggy pants. I’m about 6 feet tall and skinny.

Suggestions so far include:

• “Hiking pants, typically made of really lightweight nylon or polyester,”
• “Linen, linen blends, thin cotton (like madras and crinkle cotton) are your friends.”
• “Yoga pants.”
• “Natural High ^[3] (2400 Main Street, Santa Monica) sells these amazing hemp/cotton pants.”
• And finally: “What about man-pris? Capri pants for dudes.”

Can anyone else help a brother out before he starts seeking out “man-pris?”
