I'm kind of in the same boat. I have a pair of Hein Gericke trousers which had been great if a little too hot in the warmer places. The other day while 'seeing what my DR can do' when playing on some quite steep trails, I somehow managed to come off and ended up with my leg on top of the rather warm exhaust downpipe and now I have a rather large melted hole on the front of them. @rse!!!
Before I wrecked them, I was thinking of getting some military boots so I just carry one pair instead of my bike boots and a pair of walking boots but the trouble with the HG trousers is that once I'm sitting on the bike, the bottom of the trousers rode up quite high so there's no way I could use shorter boots until I came up with the genius idea of using gators!
Anyway, now I've melted my 'pants', I'm on the lookout for something cheap that will do me the ride up the east coast of Oz and then across Asia to the UK, so lots of heat and humidity- any suggestions for stuff that I can buy here (no HG here unfortunately)?
