Ticks are extra bad this year.  I need to invest in some longer pants that I can tuck into my boots and help keep ticks out that don't burn me out.  What I'm looking for is:    

• NOT HOT!!!!!! - I live in Arkansas and want to be able to hunt small game during those 100+ degree days with full on humidity without retaining unnecessary warmth and sweat
  
• moisture wicking
  
• well breathing
  
• true summer time pants that are long enough to tuck into socks inside my boots to keep the ticks out
  
• woods friendly colors - camo, black, grey, brown, green, whatever but not some neon sign runners pants or something like that
  
• I'd prefer a looser fit, but if underarmor type things are the bees knees I can do them under some shorts too and that'll be just fine.
  
• durable - I'm just hard on clothing in general and often times that means getting better brands equates into longer life and cheaper in the long run.  I'm not a brand specific shopper, but will pay for build quality as needed.
  
• something that doesn't retain odors - I'm blessed with naturally stinky skin/sweat.  Sometimes my old undershirts get to stinking in the pits area before they are even worn out.  I'd like a materaial that isn't going to hold odors very bad so I can make better use of early season deer hunts with them.
  

Thanks in advance for all your advice/wisdom

I'm personally fond of my KUIU pants

When I know I'm going to be out in hot weather but I want pants, I love just my simple military surplus BDU pants.

not wicking and not high tech but i like dickies lightweight duck pants for when its extra hot, or the normal thickness duck pants if im worried about abrasion.

First Lite's original Kanab pants (I have no experience with the newer 2.0 version) will fill all but possibly your durability requirement. They are very well built, but are of a lighter weight construction, and could be prone to tears. That being said, if you're good with a needle and thread, you should be able to repair any minor short comings, and they'll last you for years. I am not easy on my clothing or equipment either, but I have no idea how rough your terrain is. I have hunted hard for two seasons in my Kanabs, wearing them almost every hunt, and they are still in excellent shape! They are extra comfy, and ergonomically designed. I like them so much, I'm going to buy another pair! Maybe try the 2.0's.

Check out the First Lite Corrugate Guide pants. Super thin, a bit stretchy, and pretty tough material. They dry very quickly as well. I wear them the first couple weeks of CO elk season and have been happy with them.

100+ temps and humidty you are going to be wet, good suggestions above and remember to treat your outer gear with permethrin to ward of ticks, redbugs and skeeters.

I really like my Kuiu Tiburon, they have micro holes fabbric with some netting zippered  pockets.

Check out Natgear lightweight pants. Pretty good for hot weather.

Sitka Ascent Pants

First Lite Kanabs are the best warm to cool weather pants I've worn. They aren't the most durable pants, but they excel in every other measure. I've had issues wearing out the crotch where the fabric rubs. The 2.0s have a new material designed to address that flaw. I've found FL to have a pretty good return policy though their inventory may not be there when you need it.

Soak them in permethrin clothing treatment. I never found a tick on me last season after treating all my clothes with the stuff. And we have lots of ticks in MD.

I have KUIU Tiberon pants and top and they're great. I've used them antelope hunting in WY during September. They perform well and keep you cool. I don't think there are wicking qualities developed into this garment, but I wear DriFit tops beneath my KUIU apparel to aid in the wicking.

What Steve O posted...  Sitka ascent - light, breathable, good fit, flexible, natural colours, etc.

I really like them for walking, scouting, and warm weather hunting.

I use BDU's and also stuff like the Dickies or Carhartt work pants. In hot weather, I just don't see the need for the high cost, big name brands. In winter, they may be worth the extra cost, but I go cheap in warm weather. I use standard grade "field pants", depending on what's on sale.

I really like my First Lite corrugated guide pants, I like them so much I have 1 pair in Asat and 1 pair in brown.

I'm sure that most of the pants mentioned above will work well. For a lot less money, look into nylon pants similar to Columbia's PFG or Silver Ridge lines or something similar. Fits most of your criteria pretty well.

Sitka ascent pants, Core 4 Switchback or Highland pants and Kuiu Tiberon pants are all lightweight, stretchy, well made pants that can be used in warm weather.

another vote for First Lite. i have both the 1.0 and 2.0 version of the Kanabs. they are plenty cool for early season, and plenty quiet. have never tried the corrugate guide pants, but i'm sure they're great too.

First Lite is first rate!

Yep.  They have works well for me.

For when it is really hot, my First Lite Kanabs are the first and only pair I will wear. They breathe well and are tough.

I also really enjoy my Kuiu Attack pants, but for crawling around during Montana's pronghorn season when it's hotter than all get out, my Kanabs are the go to.
