So here I am looking for pant recommendations something breathable for warm days and another pair tough enough for brush and brambles. What's worked for you out in the field? Appreciate it!
 
For warm days, lightweight nylon or polyester hiking pants, they breathe well and dry fast, Columbia or REI have some solid options that don't weigh you down. Then for tough brush and brambles, I switch to heavier canvas or ripstop pants...Carhartt or Duluth Trading Co, I like their stuff
 
I've been testing gear in all kinds of terrain. When I'm bushwhacking through thicker brush, I use Carhartt Rugged Flex, Columbia for hot days
 
For hot days, I usually go with lightweight nylon or polyester hiking pants, breathable and quick drying. For rough brush, canvas or ripstop work pants hold up way better
