As I look at the typical daily damage on my blue jean pant legs, anyone could realize that my legs would be 100% scar tissue in a years time. We work with pesticides often....that's all you need, more skin area exposed.

No shorts for me. I like my legs too much. Might as well go barefoot also if you wear shorts. I don't care how hot it is, my legs have never suffered heat exhaustion.

Re. leg color....why wear shorts in public? What's the point? I see people with shorts on in air conditioned facilities. What's the point?
