Default Pull over pants in TX

So it gets very hot in DFW and lots of stop and go traffic. Above the asphalt my bike thermometer says 115 many days, and when you have to stop for 5-10 mins ouch. Plus when I get to where I'm going its still hot and I want shorts on. So do any of you use or recommend a good pair of pullover mesh pants that have some protection to go with air flow? So when I get there I can just peel em off and have my shorts on.

I've never stopped in traffic for 5-10 minutes , except for trains and then I turn my bike off. Even still, I'd think any extra pants, mesh or otherwise would be just as hot.

I don't think he meant extra pants, but rather mesh pants over shorts. That should, theoretically be cooler.

I just bought these from New Enough $71.00...I work in shorts, but ride to work 95% of the time.
I wanted something to keep the 04:00 bugs off my pretty legs. The have a mesh liner and zippers that you can open for additional cooling.

Over-Pants

They're in TX as well so shipping was fast !!!

If you want top notch protection look at Motoport Kevlar air mesh, it will cost you though

I have the Olympia mesh pants. They are excellent.

look at the first gear line -- they have several

I personally wear the 1st Gear HT overpant -- I think they actually keep some of the heat off of me -- and while on those stops for gas, food etc -- I leave them on -- we have temps similar to yours
