I have been searching for long UPF pants for sun protection - usually protecting 50+ SPF equivalent.
With the South Florida sun beating down, and having the Irish blond hair, blue eyes skin cancer prone complexion, I think it's time.
Easy to find UPF rated long sleeve shirts (Columbia, MGarzon, etc), but have only found 2 vendors of pants - Solumbra and Coolibar and they are EXPENSIVE (overpriced I think) - plus I have a friend with the Solumbra and not impressed with them. Wife has pants from MGarzon which would be perfect except they don't have mens long pants; and I think they may be out of business now. I have two of their long sleeved shirts and they are better than Columbia's IMO.
Would love to find the old 1940s (30s?) style white tennis pants like the old timers wore ( Budge).
Something like warm-up suit pants, but in the light "chino" material.
I know, I know, if I really think I need them, just pay up and get them; but just wondering why nobody makes them - can only think demand is not there.
Any ideas?
Jim
