I agree that tough material (such as jeans or overalls) is needed for the outdoor situations you describe. Slacks (as I understand them) would not be appropriate or necessary for those activities. | |

| Dec 2, 2013 at 20:53 | comment | added | balanced mama | referring to the last bullet: We do a certain amount of hiking, geocaching, trailblazing and invasive species irradication (as volunteers). With Gardening, we are on rocky hard ground, weeding around succulents and fairly rough plants so heavy-duty fabric (such as work pants or heavy denim is needed) When we visit further north, we often also do fallen tree clearing. For safety, her legs need to be covered for these particular occasions. In very cold weather, skirts are not a good plan and slacks with a layer under are much better for things like school where sweats are too casual. | |
