I'm a trucker, running from Los Angeles to parts east. I pack several pairs of Levi's, and a half dozen or so pairs of shorts. I'll wear long pants if it's below 30, with high winds/below 0 wind chill, other then that, it's shorts.

Don't care if someone thinks I look like an idiot, I'm comfortable, and that's what counts.
