This may sound crazy but Lulu Lemon pants are damn good. Check them out.

I would suggest arm and leg sleeves over pants.

Any good ones?
This is houston so 95 and humidity is just how it is.
Recently diagnosed with a very tiny bit of melanoma (Stage 0, didn't even know there was a stage zero) so staying out of the sun is what it is.

Howdy GoAgs,
Sorry to hear about your diagnosis. I actually went shopping last night at Academy here in B/CS for a pair of golf pants and shorts.
Not a great selection in the way of golf apparel but the brand BCG they carry are really nice!
- Pants: $40.00
- Shorts: $30.00
- 97% Polyester & 3% Spandex
They aren't pleated either thank goodness and they have a nice grip inside the waist band. Check them out, I highly recommend for the price. Best of luck!

So, I have had Skin Cancer on my Face and head. So here a few recommendations that work for me.
Hat- I wear a Tilley hat - you can wash it roll it up and it just keeps coming back. Keeps the sun off my head, face and neck. YEs, I still we are sunscreen!!!!
Arms - Sometimes a wear a base layer shirt - Dunning has a great one, you can also find them at Coolibar an Solibar all are UPF 50+. I have also added some compression sleeves since the other sleeves I tried continued to fall down as I played. The brand I use ARMORAY. You can find them on Amazon for as low as $10 and they work great. I was introduced to them by a guy who has also has skin cancer and he swears buy them. He is also a +2 golfer and he plays 5 days a week. He always has them on!!
Pants - I was wearing Adidas 360. They are light weight and work pretty well. I bought a pair other the Dunning golf pants that I like as well. I don't think they are to bad but I do ride.
I do wear shorts sometimes when I. practice but I alway apply sunscreen!!!
It is working since my Dermatologist continues to tell me everything he finds pre-cancerous is old stuff when I was younger!!!
Hope this helps!!!

I got diagnosed with melanoma on my scalp in late 2024 (the lady that cuts my hair found it). One surgery to remove a coke can size piece of scalp, one surgery to reconstruct the hole with a flap made from the rest of my scalp. Not a lof of fun but was lucky that mine was caught early (Stage 1) so once i recovered from surgery i've been good to go with just regular 6 month PET scans/Oncology visits and 3 month dermatology appointments.
Now, to your question. I wear Lululemon ABC pants pretty much daily, they are a little expensive but they are so comfortable i find myself lounging around the house in them. During the heat of the summer i still wear shorts often but use ELTA MD mineral sunscreen (get it from your dermatologist) and reapply at the turn.
If i'm going to be outside for more than about 30 minutes i just about always wear either a Kuhl Engineered Hoodie or Lululemon license to train hoodie. Since my diagnosis i've probably only played one or two rounds in a collared shirt, i pretty much play exclusively in a UPF hoodie and wear the hood for the entire round to keep the sun off my ears and neck. To my surprise i've not received any dress code comments despite playing at a mix of public, private and high-end exclusive private courses.
My buddies now refer to me as the Uni-bomber for my hood and sunglass look so i've got that going for me.
Hope that helps, hang in there!

I have a few pairs of Adidas pants I have bought from PGA Superstore & Amazon. They are super thin.. I don't wear pants in the Summer but, if I had to, it'd be those.
