These pants are light weight which is great for me because of where I live.  I have these pants in two other colors and I usually wear them just around the house because they are a bit sheer.  However, I have not noticed them being so sheer that I could see my panties through them.  When I have worn them out several times to the grocery store, but I wear them with a top that is long enough to cover the top part of the pants.  These pants are very comfortable and fit well.
