I've been wearing these pants in the summer for years, they are lightweight, not as light as the non-double-front pants, but still light. They are really comfortable and soft. The only thing about these pants that kind of sucks is they stretch out. The only thing I can say is when you try them on for the first time, if they are a little tight, they will stretch and fit great, if they fit great at first, they will stretch out and be too big.
