In the warmer weather here, I switch over to denim Cargo jeans. They are cutoffs just above the knee.
For me, they are the optimum summer wear. Lots of pockets for everything I have any use for, and with my mesh riding pants (ballistic models) I am cooler with the riding pants than riding w/o pants.
That may sound strange, but here in 115*F summer temps, and asphalt temps of 160*F+, add in the direct rays of the sun, those riding pants are a lot cooler.
Keeps the sun and the wickedly hot wind off of your skin. A spritz bottle of water does wonders for providing a/c on the road. Splash that water on your jacket and pants and you are cool for at least 15 minutes, then I just do it again.
