Pants for Brazil - Horizons Unlimited

**Robertsom** · #1 23 Oct 2011

Hi,

We are heading to Brazil in February and I am unsure what brand of pants to buy. Anyone got any good suggestions?

We are riding DR650s.

Cheers,
Murray

do you mean trousers/pants or underpants/boxers/smalls?

lost in translation!

Brazil is a big country.
there are different kinds of weather.
In Sao Paulo - Southeast - it is ordinary to be hot (25º/30º Celsius) and rainy in afternoon or in the evening.
the traffic's conditions - very mad and bad - recommends to be protected. So, some pants with cordura, breathable and waterproof would be nice. Note: these pants are much more expensive here.
I use to dress a joe rocket ballistic 7.0 pants. It have a two-way leg - very good to refresh

- zippers.
Hugs!!

Hi Paulo,

Slightly off topic but related to weather-Its a ways off but im hoping to be in brazil in june/july 2014 to coincide with the world cup and probably visiting cities hosting games in the southern parts of brazil as I will be coming in from chile, Argentina etc.
What sort of weather am I likely to encounter that time of year?

Thanks,

James

Hi James,
You're welcome, fellow!
In june/july the days use to be short, dry, cold (from 20º Celsius, daylight, to 9º Celsius or a little less, at night) and sunny, sometimes cloudy.
Ops! do not expect to bring the cup with you when back home.

Hugs!
