I SUPER LOVE THESE PANTS-so much so that I bought them in both colors and red without the decoration on the pockets! They are SUPER CUTE and warm! BUT...I live in Arizona, USA where it gets to be 115+ D in the summer, and as long as we have the air conditioning on, I can wear them and NOT be too hot. I wish they came in more colors. I love how if you turn up the bottom of the legs a little to make a cuff, there is the black and white checker pattern. I would live in these if I could!
