Kind of an oxymoron, but Lapcos don't feel much heavier than Levi's

Jeans, have never seen any light weight. If you can do pants, bulwark 3% nomex are the tits. Shirts also. But they are expensive

Buy 100% cotton FR clothing then wash with a 1:10 ratio of bleach to water solution. It keeps the color but after several washes that cotton shirt and pants will be same as grandpa worked the cotton/corn/cane in back in the 1940s

If you don't mind a little color fade you can increase bleach ratio and the magic will happen faster. Look at regular guys that have been there. Their clothes don't look sharp and brisk......... wonder why

Workrite has a light and heavy version and are very good quality nomex IIIa pants. They are around a hundred bucks but will last for years.

Thanks everyone. Gonna go shopping in a few days when we finish this well. Not gonna chance ordering online with pants sizes nowadays always being strange. Don't mind spending a little extra coin for comfort.
