Trousers for teen boy in 37 degree heat

My son is going away to a boiling hot country but refuses to wear shorts because he's embarrassed about his legs. Sigh.🌞

Does anyone have any recommendations for cool trousers in age 12ish with an adjustable waist (skinny kid). He likes hiking style trousers.

Thanks 😀

Mountain Warehouse do lightweight walking trousers

Toms Trunks are all the rage with teenagers I know. Look like pyjamas to me, but they all wear them around here!

And if his legs aren't used to the sun, keeping them covered is a good move .
I prefer to be covered ( something light ) in hot sun, it feels cooler to me than roasting my flesh

Teens have a different internal thermostat. My 15 year old insisted on wearing a hoodie today. But he won’t wear a coat in the winter 🤷‍♀️

If you look for hiking or trekking trousers they are often lightweight in a technical ,( artificial) fabric that is cool and supposedly wicks sweat away.

DS is away now somewhere very hot. Won’t wear shorts or T shirts. I bought mountain warehouse walking trousers in waist size 30. Also very thin uv protection hoodies and tops from Amazon.
