Fishing Long Pants? 2024
Largies4Life reply :
The title says it all. What kind of long pants do you like to wear out on the boat during really hot days to protect your legs? Any good brands out there that do a good job of making the pants breathable, yet keep your legs protected? Thanks!

I have a couple pairs of UA pants, they're wicking and pretty lightweight. SPF 50+...look to be discontinued, but I'm sure they have similar ones out.

Plain old Wrangler Cargo Pants in light tan.
Scott F reply :
During the summer, I wear nothing but the lightweight, quick dry, nylon pants. They are sold by many companies. NEVER anything cotton or denim. Once those get wet, they stay damp. The nylon pants get rid of sweat quickly. Even if you get a quick rain, or do a short wade, the pants will dry quickly. Very comfortable. Most have zip off legs that convert to shorts if you want.

They're like a walking tackle box. I can cram everything I need for a days fishing in those pockets. Too hot for summer here though. This time of year I'm wondering how cool that middle eastern desert garb is.
HoosierFisher reply :
Magellan zip off pants are great. Lightweight and water resistant. Also don't break the bank.
OkobojiEagle reply :
An equally important question is what do you wear under those long pants for all-day comfort...

It's all fun & games now.
Keep that up and when you get a little further down the road - they may be carving banana sized chunks of melanoma out of you.
It's not pretty.
Please consider covering up - that stuff is cumulative & seriously damaging.
Can't undo it.

I don't know how people stand to wear long sleeves and pants. In the winter, ice fishing I have less on than a lot of guys in the summer. I have a few sun shirts from aftco and Columbia and I just roast in them. And forget pants...I am one of those nuts wearing shorts when it is 5 below 0
BIGfryFish reply :
My favorites have been Wrangler Rugged Wear Angler pants & Cabela's Trailhiker Pants
Pros:
Comfortable relaxed fit.
variety of sizes (waist & inseam long/short)
elastic fit waist
quick drying.
pockets/loops
The Cabela's have been replaced with Cabela's Trailhiker II Pants. They're not bad, but the old design was a more relaxed fit. The side pockets are now kinda stiff/snug. :(
From what I see now on Cabelas or BPS websites you can only get these in store now. :(

When it’s hot I fish early and late in the day or night. I don’t think I’ve ever worn long pants to go fishing here in the summer.
My legs are somewhat shaded by sitting in the jboat most of the time. I do try to wear sunscreen on arms and head areas.
Crankin4Bass reply :
Columbia, Cabelas or Simms with sun protection.

I hate sunscreen and don't want skin cancer. Also I burn easily.

Me either . I suffocate in them . I use plenty of sun block sp50.
Jrob78 reply :
I've got Huk, Columbia, Under Armor and North Face stuff, it's all about the same to me. The key to staying cool is not letting the sun touch your skin, with the right materials it's like you're in the shade all the time. A wide brimmed Outdoor Research hat, a Buff, sun gloves and an occasional jump in the lake help. It's going to be hot regardless so you might as well protect your skin.
Fishes in trees reply :
I HAVE to wear knee high anti-blood clot socks so parts of my legs are covered if I want them to be or not. So I wear shorts. I have sun burned my knees significantly a few times over the years, so I spare the bare areas between my knees and where the shorts stop with sun screen. I have a few sun screen shirts to cover my arms &. back. Wear a wide brim had and sunscreen neck & ears. One of my anti-sun shirts has a hood on it and I'm finding I use the hood much more often than not. Cooler weather, I'm not a big fan of long pants when I'm fishing. I find that they restrict my movement somewhat and since I'm more or less naturally clumsy I don't need restricted movement. So I'm a big fan of long underwear & shorts. The long underwear leaves much less fabric flopping around my feet so it doesn't catch on stuff nearly as often. If I have to put the rain gear on, it is just a matter of just be careful all the time.
LionHeart reply :
Usually a cheap pair of zip off pants. I unzip the legs about half way so my legs can breath, but my calves are still protected from the sun.

+1 I've worn shorts while fishing one day in the past several years....and got a surprise April sunburn to remind me what a mistake that was

I cannot stand long pants when outside so when I need the sun protection in my yak I resort to tights/leggings under my shorts. The lightweight ones are amazingly cool despite being black, which seems to be the only color men's baselayer tights come in. One advantage of the dark color is that they dry in the sun incredibly quickly, if I wade into to my knees to launch the tops of my legs will be dry in like 30m and the undersides in maybe 60m.

Anything like this. I have a few different ones, I buy them when they are on sale in the spring and just look for the thinnest but still opaque ones I can find. The tighter they are the faster they dry but I have not like the actual compression ones I tried.

I agree and I have several pair. I like their shorts also made of the same material for just wearing around during hot summers.
Hammer 4 reply :
Check out golf pants. Very light weight. Usually not cheap, but they last for years. Me, only wear shorts 12 months out of the year.
TnRiver46 reply :
I sweat through my pants and boots from 8-5 at work so I wear shorts and flip flops to fish from 5-9. Sunscreen never bothered me. When it gets to mid September the evening mosquitos are too bad for shorts so I leave my work pants on which are hand me down BDU from my game warden buddies pictured here (shameless excuse to show off big rockfish picture)
