[pct-l] pants in the desert???

[joel01 at ekit.com]

I wore Solumbra clothing throughout the desert sections; shirt, 
pants, hat and sometimes handguards. I felt this Lawrence of Arabia 
sort of style created a micro-climate around me, keeping me 
relatively comfortable. The low humidity and the ventilation in the 
clothing kept me dry.

Others went with shorts and tank-tops. We all made it.
