Yeah, of course you want to look great, but you need to feel great too, even when you’re sweating and it’s humid, or dry. Just in case you aren’t already, now’s the perfect time to feast your eyes on DUER’s super fabric blends. It doesn’t matter whether you’re relaxing at home, visiting the office, or vacationing in a beautiful climate, DUER’s pants are lightweight, ultra-breathable, and moisture-wicking.

Now, there are quite a few pants — and styles — available in DUER’s inventory. From sweat-resistant joggers to performance denim, there’s a lot to choose from, and a lot to love. You can check those out anytime by visiting DUER’s hot weather pants and jeans section, but we took the liberty to explore some of the best options below. We’d be remiss if we didn’t point out that these are quality apparel options, built using sustainable materials — 50% of the fibers used in DUER’s pants are from recycled wood chips, plants, and recycled plastic bottles. So you can feel comfortable, look good, and give back to the community and environment in a big way.

In the heat, pants aren’t always the best way to go, and giving your legs some breathing space can keep you cool and comfortable. The DUER No Sweat Short is classy thanks to its slim fit, with a mid-rise to the knees. At the same time, they’re breathable, with built-in cooling features thanks to the Tencel fibers that also offer a soft feel. The shorts come in several waist sizes and a few different color options, including all-black and shades of brown or khaki. A hidden gusset delivers more flexibility for an extended range of motion, which means you don’t have to worry about the shorts splitting or coming apart at the seams. They’re also triple-stitched for added reinforcement.

Because they’re excellent while you’re active, whether working out at the gym, or going for a run, but also they’re fantastic for lounging around your home or apartment. Really, they match just about any activity, and the best joggers are always comfortable. That’s precisely what you’re getting with DUER’s No Sweat Jogger pants. They come in a variety of colors and waist sizes. They have a mid-rise design with a slim fit through the hip and jogger cuff. A blend of cotton and Tencel fibers means they’re soft, breathable, and ultra-cozy. They also feature DUER’s hidden gusset for added flexibility, reinforced seams, and smart, secure pockets — you can stow your wallet, phone, keys, and more safely while you’re on the go.

Designed as a more modern trouser, with elements of your favorite jogger, the Smart Stretch Tech Pant is equal parts professional and relaxed. This pull-on pant does not look at all like loungewear, which is divine. You can wear them at home, out on the street, into the office, or even out to dinner. The blend of Repreve polyester and Tencel fibers means they’re breathable, sweat-wicking, and soft. They come in a few waist sizes but just one color, all black.

The key here is not to look at DUER’s Smart Stretch Tech Pant as pull-on sweatpants, because they’re so much more. If you just want an excellent pair of ultra-comfy and breathable pants, you can’t go wrong here.

When you think about the pinnacle of style, the true pioneers stand out as unique, right? That is, they're not mimicking the style or fashion of others, they're pushing the boundaries of what we might consider traditional. That is precisely what Nixon has been doing since its birth in 1998, offering collections upon collections of fantastic gear. Nixon is built atop a gnarly foundation of surf, skate, and snowboards. But what that means to you is they partner with world-class athletes, artists, musicians, and activists to create quality gear, with the best mind-blowing themes possible. That explains why Nixon's mantra is: Team Designed, Custom Built.

What you may not know is that the Nixon brand is wide-reaching. Maybe you know about the Nixon watches, in a host of styles in both digital and analog formats? Or perhaps you know about Nixon's bags, like backpacks, duffel bags, and travel bags? But what you may not know is that the brand dabbles in all things fashion and style, from headwear, clothing accessories, and bags, to bands, gifts, and jewelry. We'll highlight some of the best gear they have available, and you'll find that below, but you can always check out Nixon's collections on your own, as well!

Meggings? Yep, Matador Meggings Redefined Men’s Leggings for the Male Anatomy
Matador Meggigngs worn while working out in two styles.

This content was produced in partnership with Matador.
Like all great origin stories, Matador Meggings — which earned renown for its customized men’s leggings so aptly named "meggings" — was born out of necessity. While some may disagree that men need leggings, and may even declare their point proudly, the success of the brand proves otherwise. Valentine Aseyo, Matador’s founder, quickly realized that there was a dearth of leggings and form-fitting wear acceptable for men to sport out in public, especially if they didn’t want to put their bits on display. So, naturally, he created Matador, an innovative men's athleisure brand primarily known for its men's leggings specifically designs for the male anatomy and featuring a no-VPL (visible penis line) modesty pad concealing the groin department, multiple pockets, a t-shirt and towel loop at the back, an inner drawstring, and high performance sweat-wicking silky fabric. They offer dozens of bold colors and wild prints! And the rest is history!

We’ll get to the “why” in a bit, but what you need to know upfront is that they’re comfortable, convenient, and stylish — thanks to varied and eccentric designs. Moreover, Matador now offers a host of other clothing options, including matching tops so you can look your best while working out, staying healthy, or even just relaxing. Too hot for leggings? Well, you'll be happy to know they also offer compression shorts for warmer weather or indoor fitness classes. You can check out the current selection below, or keep reading for a deep dive into Matador and what they have to offer.

Take 15% off the Entire Line of DUER L2X Performance Denim

Denim might be one of the best fabrics known to man, and few pieces are more essential for a man's wardrobe than a pair of classic blue jeans. But as much as we love it, there's no denying that some of the best aspects of denim are also some of its biggest drawbacks: Namely, that thick, canvas-like cotton weave isn't always the most breathable, flexible, or most well-suited to active lifestyles. DUER looks to change that with its L2X Performance Denim, made for all-weather wear, including -- yes -- hot and humid climates.

Since warmer weather is headed our way -- well, for most of us anyway -- now's the perfect opportunity to stock up on outfits and apparel for the hot summer months. You might be happy to know that for a limited time, Manual readers can take 15% off the entire line with the checkout code MANUAL. Just pop that promo code into the appropriate field at checkout and you'll see the discount. We've picked out some of our favorite performance denim options below, as well!
