Avoid cotton. Those will tend to dry slowly compared to 100% nylon pants.
There are nylon pants on the market that are not only light and quick-dry but
the weave is so tight that mosquitoes can't bite through it.


They sound like they're worth trying - thanks. I bet they make you
sweat though, don't they? Even my thin (70% cotton 30% nylon) ones are
making me sweat in today's warm weather.
