The Range: Lightweight Summer Pants

Because every man loves options, and some of us need those options laid out in front of us with a variety of styles and price points, we give you The Range: a meditation on one garment every man should own, served up seven ways.

In the scruffiest of the dog days, shorts are your first line of defense against overheating. But a man cannot live on shorts alone. And yet, there are days when even your lightest weight denim will have you pooling at the knee-backs — and for those days, you’re gonna want something a little more practical.

As in: pants made for hot weather. Built to wick away moisture and stink. Cut from fabrics that breathe and move. Below, you’ll find seven options across a range of styles and price points that do just that.
