How do you protect your legs from cactus needles?
I plan to walk up several mountains in Big Bend, and they're teaming with cactus and other needly plants.
What's the best thing I can put on the lower part of my pants to shield my legs from the needles (because it's inevitable that I hit a few of those cacti every time because I'm not using hiking trails) that won't weigh me down and won't be too hot?
thanks
The best thing is to look to the cowboys for the answer:
Chaps are the best protection from cactus. You can get some that are from the knee down so they're not too hot, and easy to remove when you no longer need them. Even the full chaps are actually not too hot. I used to wear them while riding in Florida where it's hot and humid. Otherwise, you might want to consider knee high leather boots. I doubt that anything else is going to protect your legs very well.
